Blast from the Past: Major Charles Wimmingson Stappsman

 21 April 2013, and Major Charles Wimmingson Stappsman is introduced to the World.

 

Major Charles Wimmingson Stappsman CBE (Commander, Order of the British Empire), Sportsman, Big Game Hunter, Explorer...all around man and hero of the Empire. He is as comfortable with a whiskey and soda in his club as he is with a .440 Webley in a lost temple in some Imperial outpost.

Major Charles Wimmingson Stappsman is a 28mm metal piece from Foundry I painted circa 2012.

Love or Poison Dear?

 

In the World of Warmachine, Life, Death, Love and Hate are all too often combined for the pleasure of the rich and powerful such as Madelyn Corbeau, Ordic Courtesan.

Madelyn Corbeau takes great pride in her abilities to combine pain, pleasure, love of life and the possibility of death in her professional capacity.

The fact that she is in constant demand says much about what passes for thrills in the World of Warmachine where life is full of excitement and the constant danger of violent death.

A night with Madelyn Corbeau will provide all the thrills, chills and risks to life and limb that even the most jaded of nobles will enjoy to the fullest.

Madelyn Corbeau is a metal piece I painted back in 2012.

Mad Science is In the Eye of the Beholder

 

 
One man's "MAD SCIENCE" is just another man's scientific imagination set free such as Dr. Johon Rippinoff and his "Doom Ray." Is this Mad he says, HA it is but a whim full filled.
Certainly Dr. I. B. Seltsam, creator of Reisigen Wreiben Baren and 
Gorg Haar sees these as scientific firsts'. It's not his fault if they go a little crazy time to time and run amok...HA-HAA.
Nore does the famed botanist, Dr. Ivy Grunen-Dauman, find any fault in her beautiful new plant creation Zhane. Just don't let the kids near when Zhane is hungry HA-HAA-HAAA.
And what could be wrong with the development of Draco Rubrum sighs often misquoted and misunderstood Dr.Amare Scialienis. Mad Science HA-HAA-HAAA-HAAAA.
What about poor old Dr. Atomicus who has to live in this armored body after years of accidents spent inventing the Atom Blaster Hand Cannon Mrk V. They called all these great minds "Mad" and their work Mad Science." But they know the truth, "the rest of the mundane scientific community are jealous of us, we will show them all! MAD, NO WE'RE NOT MAD HA-HA- HAAA-HAAA A-HAAAAA, WE ARE SUPER GENIUSES AND WILL HAVE OUR REVENGE!!!

The scientists (Pulp Figures) and Draco (Archive Figures) are metal pieces that I painted in 2012, except for Dr. Rippinoff who I painted in 2014. Gorg Haar and Reisigen Wreiben Baren are plastic pieces also painted in 2012.

                                                               Grizzly Bear (M-11)...
                                                                 Chimp (P-12)...
Polar Bear (P-13)...
Giraffe (P-13)...

                                                                     Puma (M-13)...
and the King of Beasts the Lion (M-13).

These are plastic (P) and metal (M) pieces that I painted from 2011 to 2013.

Don't mess with Dragons

 

Dragons are known for their treasure hordes. 

 They are also very protective of said treasure Messing with a dragon in such a situation is not advised for the lone adventurer.
                                  Well, one less thief and a nice safe bed to sleep on.

The dragon is a massive metal piece while the treasure horde is scratch built,

I have worked on the 700+ figures (plus another 105 that are not pictured) above since 2012, mostly in the last three years. They are a combination of metal and plastic 25mm to 28mm pieces from Pulp Figures, Wargames Foundry, Perry Miniatures and Warlord Games.  A big change from the World War II,  1/285 CinC size pieces I painted and played with in the 1970's &'80's. Aside from the Panzer III none of my Second World War tanks and other AFV's are in this post.

Seaman Volksman Reporting

Seaman Karl Volksman reports for duty on one of Captain Patsy Seemasters ocean tugs.
Karl never travels without seabag, combat knife and his trusty Mauser 98.
He has heard many stories of the type of "voyages" Captain Seemaster is known for, lots of action and bonus pay.  Two things Karl is looking forward to enjoying.
Karl is a 28mm metal piece from Pulp Figures.
