привет! Eureka 15mm Modern (1990s) Russians

Hi everyone,

Here's a few 15mm modern Russians I finished, from Eureka Miniatures.

They have been painted to resemble the forces seen in the First Chechen War, 1994-1996. I still have  two squads of MVD troops in Maska helmets to paint, and the rest of the Chechen insurgents. They will eventually be used for games of Force on Force.








The camouflage has a bit of variety, from the '90s standard issue to some 1970s-80s Soviet patterns, in order to resemble the sometimes poor supply the Russian Federation troops dealt with in the mid-90s.

And here's a few beauty pics with some in-progress Grozny terrain:





Thanks for looking!

GHQ 1/1200 French 80-gun ship-of-the-line

Hi all!

Just completed my first GHQ Napoleonic ship. I own 8 GHQ ships, however, until now I had not thought my modelling skills adequate enough to do these gorgeous miniatures justice. As soon as the college semester ended, I took the plunge and began work on an 80-gun SOL.

She is a 1/1200 scale model of the French ship Le Bucentaure. Launched in 1803, she was captured by the HMS Conqueror at Trafalgar, before sinking a few days later after her imprisoned crew retook her.

Enjoy!

Thank you for looking!!

Completed 1/3000 German WW1 Fleet + Some in-progress 1/1200 Napoleonic Ships

Hey everyone,

Just finished my 1/3000 German WW1 fleet from War Times Journal (WTJ Miniatures).
For 3D Printed models at this small of a scale, the detail they are able to achieve is phenomenal, let's hope my paintjobs and picture-taking compliments them enough.

The Fleet Consists of:

3 Battlecruisers

Left to Right: SMS Seydlitz, SMS Mackensen, and SMS Hindenburg

And just to throw in some more pictures, here are some 1/1200 GHQ Napoleonic Ships that are in progress. Still need to order ratlines from Langton, finish some standing rigging, and do all of the running rigging!

The beginning stages of rigging, lots left to do!

British sloop-of-war

As you can see, I definitely need to re-print and fix the ensign and pennant!

Another in-progress: HMS Victory

Thanks for tuning in! Sorry if this was a long one, I definitely like to take pictures!
