Indian Commowealth Soldiers Fought on All Fronts

Be their enemies Italian, German or Japanese, Indian Punjab Commonwealth soldiers fought them all.

On all fronts, North Africa, Europe and the Pacific, the forces of India fought for the King-Emperor and the Allies is in both World Wars.

These are plastic pieces from Warlords Bolt Action range that I painted in 2022.

Nancy is Having a Bad Day

Never anger Nancy when she is in on of her moods.
 

Especially when she has her S&W .45, a backpack full of frag grenade and Billy-club.

On the other hand, if she's on your side she is a deadly ally in the Dystopian World of the future.

Nancy is a plastic piece I finished in late December. 

Jet Black-Bounty Hunter

In the future World of Cowboy Bebop, Jet Black is one of the premier bounty hunters.
 

As a former cop, Jet knows both the ends and outs of the law enforcement in the Solar system as well as having lots of police contacts on all the planets.

With his partner Spike, and companions, Ed, Einstein and Faye, Jet traves the Solar System on the Bebop collecting bounties on so of the most dangerous outlaws that exist.

Jet Black is a plastic piece that I painted in December '22.

December Pieces Painted

 

 

1st figure this December the Kami Samurai

      From Japanese Fantasy to Dystopian World and Cowboy Bebop I painted 52 pieces this December. The pieces ranged from 12 to 57mm (.47 to 2.25 inches) in height. Here's what was painted: A new category Dystopian World (think Post Apocalypse)- 9, Big Mamma Boom Boom, Assault Sgt., Camo Trudy, MG Nelly, "the Woman," Kelli Deadi, Crazy Blue, & Kommander Kody.  Sci Fi-3, Jack Black, Ed & Einstein (all from Cowboy Bebop Anime). Fantasy-3, Kami Samurai, Teatime Ogre and Archmage Ridcully. Terrain-2, Street Sign and Lamppost. 19th Century-1, French Colonial Infantry Officer. WWII-4, Partisans Jock, Algieres, Dockman & Trigger. Napoleonic-30, Prussian Landwehr Infantry.

Total painted in 2022 were 495 figures.  Guess I'm slowing down as I get older.

                               Kommander Kody finished on New Year's Eve.

Kommander Kody's Orders Must Be Obeyed

 

Kommander Kody earned her title with clear thinking, a loud voice and lots of firepower.

Her automatic pistol, assault rifle and a fragmentation grenade will solve most problems.

In the Dystopian future she took the role of leader when she realized she was the most qualified.

Kody is a plastic piece I painted New Year's Eve.

Any Camo is Good Camo

The Dystopian post-Apocalyptic World is full of dangers and monsters.
 

With the World in disarray, Brenda Trubody has made her own camouflage grabbed her grandpa's old military equipment, especially his Grease Gun and Colt 1911 (both .45 cal.) and prepared to defend her family.

A K-Bar, ammo pouch and canteen full out her basic equipment.

Evey day is a challenge for Brenda, and the wear and tear on her is obvious. Some day she hopes normalcy will return, but until then she will stand and fight to protect those who she loves.

Brenda is a plastic piece I painted this week.

Machinegun Nelly

Childhood ends quickly in the Dystopian World of the future. Such is the life of "Machinegun Nelly" who relies on two fisted firepower to survive. 

Double Uzi's may seem over kill, but better overkill than being dead!

 Her motto is "don't stop shooting till they, or it, stops moving."

Machinegun Nelly is a plastic piece from Warlords female Apocalypse survivor's range that I painted this month.

Brilliant Girl and Einstein

 In the Dystopian World of Cowboy Bebop genius/knowledge comes in many forms and none are stranger than a young brilliant girl named Ed and dog named Einstein:

Edward (Ed) Wong Hau Pepelu Tivruski IV is a computer hacking genius. Forgotten at a daycare by her absentminded father in 2064 and eventually ending up in an orphanage. In 2068, she joined the crew of the Bebop, the spaceship of bounty hunters Jet and Spike.

Einstein (Ein) is not an ordinary Pembroke Welsh Corgi; he is actually a scientifically modified "Data Dog" full of the most advanced scientific information.

As well as using here hacking skills to help Jet and Spike, Ed is the only one who can access Ein's data

Together the two have found a friendship stronger than that of pet and master.

Both are plastic pieces from Don't Panic Games "Cowboy Bebop Space Serenade" boardgame (a Christmas gift) I painted this week.

Kelli Deadi is no Calamity Jane

Kelli Deadi is not a woman to mess with or incur her anger. For she is not olny a crach shot with the 12 gauge,
 

she also is never without her pouch of TNT (all with very short fuses).

And when things get serious Kelli relies on her trusty 1911 Colt .45.

Kelli is a plastic piece I painted last week.

Happy Christmas!

Here are three of our twelve trees we have this year. Living Room Blue, White and Silver Tree.
 

                                                             Kitchen Cooking Tree.

Hallway Red and White Tree.

May your Christmas be full of joy, wonder and happiness

Sgt. Preston is on Duty

 Never fear, Nutcracker Sgt. Preston is here to protect your Christmas presents. So, sleep tight this Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to All and to All a good night.

I made Sgt. Preston in July of 2017; he is 1.58 m (6'1") tall.

Street Smarts Joins "the Woman"

 

 The violence wracked Dystopian World often makes strange bedfellows. 

In this case it's the establishment and street toughs in the form of the power of "the Woman" and "Crazyblue" the street walker.

Two 9 mm automatics and the reliable M-16 give enough firepower for most situations.

If more strength is needed, both have resources available. With a simple call more uniforms and gang members will come a running.

Both are plastic pieces that Iput together and finished this evening.

Big Mamma Boom-Boom

 

Some streets in unstable areas of the World can be dangerous palaces especially in times of civil destress. In those areas the side with more firepower is definitely in a stronger position.   When it comes to the use of serious firepower, Big Mamma Boom-Boom (AKA Bertha Smashbang) is who 

 you want on your side.

.

Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG's) are her preferred calling card as she rarely needs to send a second message.

For up close and personal discussions she uses her Desert Eagle .50 cal automatic to make her points.

While Big Mamma is a freelancer who works for the highest bidder, she does have "moral" standards that she will not break (the defenseless, children and animals).

So, in the dystopian World, Big Mamma is ready to lend her Boom-Boom for those who can pay.

Big Mamma is a plastic piece from Warlord that I painted today.
