Pandas, Who doesn't love a Panda?

With a darlin face and huggable personality, what's not to love about the Giant Panda.
 
Yet at 150+ kilos (350 lbs) and up to 1.9 meters (6ft 3in) long they are also very impressive creatures.
This is a plastic piece I painted this month.

"SPQR-SPQR-SPQR-Legionnaires are the Boss!"

With the sure knowledge that they are the best soldiers in the World, these Imperial Legionnaires fear no one.
                                            After a light of pilums...
                             it's time to hit them with the Gladius!
Death to the enemies of the Empire, and glory for the Legion.


These are plastic pieces I painted this week.

"Red to Black Friend of Jack-Red to Yellow Kill A Fellow" Beware the T-Rex

Nature sometimes likes to warn of dangers through color schemes, as the title rhyme suggests. Sometimes Humans can influence the coloring as well.
 
Such is the case with this DNA-Genetic engineered T-Rex whose color combo is both a warning and a colorful attractor to a future mate.
                          This T. Rex has been named "Blddthrstr" by his enemies.
Blddthrstr is a plastic model from an old Jurassic Park board game that I painted up this week.

Pegleg Pytor the Pirate

The life of a pirate is full of dangers as Pytor can testify after a swivel gun took his leg off at the knee.

But this hasn't slowed down Pytors pirated adventures, as he says "challenge is the spice of life."

Pytor is an old metal piece I originally painted back in the '70's.

Winter Soldiers

The dead of Winter can be a tough time for soldiers who have to battle snow, freezing temperatures and the enemy all at the same time. Such are the difficulties this American platoon must face on the Winter battlefield.
 
                                The reserve squad takes five, "smoke em if you got em,".
                                               .30 cal. Browning machinegun.

                                              Hit the ground shooting.
                                                  


The 2.75-inch Bazooka, giving the infantry a fighting chance against enemy armor.
These are plastic pieces I kit bashed together for my Winter World War II and Korean War games forces.

                                            Ready to face the whims of the "Dice Gods."

Yeti or Abdominal Snowman, Either Way Watch Out

Straight out his mountainous home, comes a very angry Yeti, bent on revenge on those who have disturbed his land.
 
The best way to see an angry Yeti behind him were he can't see you. Then run away!
This is a plastic piece I painted earlier this week.

Killer Klown Unicycle Attack Squad

Few scenes will cause such terror as a squad of Killer Klown Unicycles charging out of a dark alley.
The sight of scythe blades flashing, sharpened teeth glistening and their maniacal laughter tearing from their mouths is enough to cause fear to even the stoutest hearts.
          So be warned and avoid these horrors or pay the price...
                                         These are plastic pieces I painted this month.

Emperor Victorious Battlecruiser of the Stars

The "Emperor Victorious" is one of the oldest and strongest warships of Battlefleet Gothic.
Living up to her name, she has smashed all the enemies that threaten the peace of the Imperium that have dared to face her.
Yet in the never-ending wars of 40,000, the "Emperor Victorious" is always held in full battle readiness by her crew, for threats can appear at any moment.

The "Emperor Victorious" is a metal piece I painted in the 1990's.

Mortal Enemies

           Snor Blasst has challenged goblin Sneeky-I to a death match.

Since the earliest days of history, Dwarves and Goblins have fought to the death whenever they met. Such hatred knows no bounds and will never disappear from the collective memories of either race.
Snor is a plastic piece I painted in the 1990's while Sneeky-I is a metal piece I painted in the very early 1980's. At the time Sneeky-I was called a Mordor Orc with the "Eye of Sauron." now days he is too small to be an Orc so I downgraded him into a goblin.

Hard Day for the M-3 Halftrack

After a hard day fighting this M-3 Halftrack has had its rear .30 cal. Browning machine gun smashed beyond recovery.
 

While the .50 cal. Browning has lost  a third of its barrel in action.
Battle debris littering the ground testify to the fearceness of the battle.

This is a plastic kit I finished earlier this month.
