WW2
Stoessi’s Heroes Wave 2 has landed!
I am finally back home and mostly recovered from a pretty long business trip that involved lots of hops across different time zones. While this was fun, it was even more fun coming back home and getting the wheels spinning for the final stretch of releasing Wave 2 of Stoessi’s Heroes. And so I am […]

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.

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.

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 […]
