Smaug

Guardian of a treasure horde beyond imagination, Smaug!

A wound of metalic green blood has angered the great dragon.

The Archive Dragon, two pounds of metal-now he needs a suitable base. 

Cossack Scouts

With an enemy in sight, a patrol of Russian Cossacks charges in with sabers swinging.

Well known for for their riding skills, the Cossacks of the Tsar were feared by generations of the enemies of Mother Russia.

These are 25mm metal pieces from Minifig that I painted in the 1980's.

Nosferatu

The vampyre Nosferatu searches for his next victim.

Feared throughout Eastern Europe, Nosferatu hunts human prey for both sport and to feed
.

Nosferatu is a metal 25mm piece from Ral Partha. I painted him in the early 1980's.

Pharaohs Heavy Infantry

 Ready to defend the rich lands of the Nile, the heavy infantry of the Pharoah marches forward.

With body armor, a large shield and a thrusting spearor blade weapon, these were the elite foot soldiers of the Egyptain Army three thousand years ago.

These are 1970's 25mm metal pieces from Minifig.

Bank Delivery

With Suzie Highflyer on guard, an armored car from National Westminister Bank makes a cash delivery.

The armored car is from Lledo and only required a little touch up.  Suzie Highflyer is a 30mm metal piece from Pulp Figures that I painted in June, 2010.

IJN Landing Party WIP

An Imperial Japanese Landing Party is  forming on the paint table.

These are all 30mm metal pieces from Pulp Figures.

1st Cavalry on Patrol

On the Western frontier the peace of a  patrol could be shatered in a moment by an Indian raid.

Such an event has just occured to these troopers of the 1st Cavalry Regiment.

Returning fire at the gallop, the men attempt to out run their attackers.

The officer in the front with his sword drawn would have been unusual as it was the pratice of the cavalry to leave their swords in barracks when on western partol.  But officers had the privilege to do as they wanted-RHIP (Rank Has Its Privileges) as they say.

These metal 25mm pieces are from Minifig, I paointed them in the 1980's.
