One of the next releases from Stoessi’s Heroes will be a treat for all Canadians: Sergeant Harold Marshall, from the Calgary Highlander Rifles Scout and Sniper platoon. This new release is based on a pretty iconic picture from WW2: I didn’t want exactly the same pose though, so in our version he is loading his […]

Krupp truck – WIP #3 and finish

Previous parts of the step-by-step: Part #1 Part #2 Working the wheels: * Painted the wheels black with acrylics and the middle part of the wheels in dark grey * Sealed with satin varnish * Applied different shades of brown pigment to […]
Krupp L3H – For a truck full of Germans (WIP Part #2)
Previously on Stoessi’s Heroes: WIPs part #1 for the Krupp truck To intensify the dusting, I applied various mixes of pigment with a dry brush. Next, I soaked the area with thinner from MIG or turpentine. Once that dried, I worked with brush, fingers and cotton tips to remove some of the pigment in those […]
Krupp L3H – For a truck full of Germans (WIP #1)
After painting quite a bit of German infantry in the past few months, I decided that it’s time to give them some wheels. Yes, I know… a regular truck is not the most impressive vehicle that the Wehrmacht had to offer, but I really like the model and it had been sitting around fully assembled […]
Bolt Action Painting Update – Germans with field caps from Warlord
Getting Stoessi’s Heroes Miniatures up and running has certainly kept me busy over the last couple of months, so painting was a bit slow as a result. The good news is that I am off work for two weeks now and that the next batch of new models for Stoessi’s Heroes is already planned out and in […]

Stoessi’s Heroes – Painting splinter camo in 2 easy steps
Let’s take a look at painting the splinter camo pattern on this M31 Zeltbahn that Otto is wearing. I must say upfront that I would not want to paint a whole outfit in a camo pattern. With my way of painting, this would be waaaaay to time consuming and I’m not sure I’d be able […]
*Drum-roll*… STOESSI’S HEROES – RELEASE #1: LATE WAR GERMAN WEARING ZELTBAHN
Almost a year ago I thought to myself that it is a pity that most WW2 tabletop miniatures are really not of the highest quality. If you enjoy the paining part of our hobby, this can be a bit disappointing sometimes. Enjoying the painting side of the hobby so much myself, I decided that I […]
US Glider Infantry – Sneak Peak
The first Stoessi’s Heroes miniature release is approaching! Waiting for the remaining casts to arrive from Brother Vinnie, but for some reason he’s gone silent on me. I really hope to get my first own production ready for sales within the next few weeks. Proper pics of the “promo” paint job next week. Let me […]
More Warlord Germanz with Maxmini heads
Managed to complete this small squad of Germans where I used Warlord miniatures, but swapped out the heads for these here from Maxmini. The guy on the left was already finished last year and I had already posted pictures of him. So, what’s next? The next miniatures that I have started are especially exciting for […]
