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 […]
Bolt Action
Tactica 2016 – One of the best wargaming events. Period.
Last weekend, a few buddies and I spent a fantastic weekend in Hamburg. We didn’t actually see anything of the city itself, but that was ok as our visit to this northern perl of Germany was completely motivated by wargaming: Tactica is an event that draws a big wargaming and miniature lovers crowd and it […]

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 […]
Hermann, the (rather big-headed) German
Last weekend a few miniature freaks from the area around Frankfurt got together at my place and spent a nice and sunny Sunday afternoon in the basement painting tiny (and in some cases slightly bigger) miniatures. When I prepared the painter’s meetup in the morning, I noticed a few heads from maxmini.eu which I had […]
Next Heer46 guy rolls off the workbench
My next German is ready. Really love those Heer46 minis. Very much to the dislike of my wife who’d rather see me continue working on the pirate bust from the workshop with Fernando Ruiz. Oh well, so many miniatures, so little time to paint them. Here are a few more pictures from various WIP stages:
Angry-looking dude from Heer46 & Nocturna Models
So, I have prepared two new projects to work on. First, this angry little dude from Heer46 just hit my workbench: And second, a 70mm miniature from Nocturna Models: Luna’s Soldier. I’ll just call her Luna and she is going to be my next shot at a showcase level paintjob. Her arm that is holding […]
