Give them a "Mad Minute!"

The "Mad Minute, "where every weapon that can fire blasts away at the enemy as fast as possible.
Especially useful when the enemy is close and threatening to overrun the position,
The "Mad Minute" is a desperation move to slow down the assaulting forces 
with all the fire power available.  This American force in Korea is typical of 
many squads that might use a "Mad Minute" to slow down a massive Chinese assaulting force. 
These are plastice pieces I assembled and painted in September of 2019.

Hot Time in Korea

This British Vickers Medium Machine Guns crew is ready to drop a load of hot lead upon the Chinese's and North Koreans. 
The Vickers water cooled .303 (7.7mm) machine gun saw stellar service since it was adopted in 1912.
Through two World Wars, numerous colonial conflicts as well as the Korean War, the Vickers gave needed firepower to both the British and their Commonwealth comrades.

These are metal pieces that I pained earlier this month.

I Will Destroy Dr. Strange

                         Baron Mordo is the sworn enemy to Dr. Strange.
      Once a force for good, Mordo has turned to the dark forces
such as the Demon Mephisto in his quest for ultimate mystical power.
  Only time will tell as to his success or failure in his dual quests of
destruction and gaining control of the magic world.
This is a plastic piece from Atomic Mass games that I finished last night. I choose to paint him with the more Asian look of the comics rather than the movie version.

Tank Riders WIP

Tank riders were common in the Soviet Army in the Great Patriotic War. Here they are on a T34-85.
This was near the final stages of painting on these "work in progress" plastic pieces in June of 2020. The men are held in place by magnets in their boots and under the deck of the tank. Some earlier pics of the tank and tank riders can be found ere:

Steampunk is Our Reality

            Nothing says Steampunk like a mechanical bicycle with a 
       Gattling gun automaton and a lovely lady with a volcanic pistol.
These are plastic figures from Rise of Mologh that I painted in June of 2018.

Zulus on the March

           Those in the path of a Zulu Warband had a right to be fearful
                         of these well trained and near fearless warriors 


                                              I painted these plastic pieces in July of 2017

SUPRISE, Lizard is Here!

   Lizard, AKA Dr. Curtis Conners, is one of the more formidable 
members of the "Sinister Twelve." A creation of "Mad Science" 
through the genetic genius of Dr. Conners, Lizard has fantastic strength, 
telepathic powers over reptiles and regeneration abilities. 
Lizard is another plastic Crisis Proticol I finished painting last night.

These are plastic pieces I painted in August 2019.
