"I told You not to make that Joke..."

"I told You not to make that Joke about the commissars sister comrade Minskey!" Says Comrade Makav to his friend as they have to stand extra guard duty on a cold fall day.

Minskey & Makav are 28mm metal pieces from Brigade Games. The sand bag emplacement is a cheap plastic piece that I painted up.

It's "Pirate Wench not Wrench!"

Captain Ingrid Wolfsen is quite insistent (and very persuasive with her blade) that she be taken seriously as a famous pirate wench and swordswoman. Having joined her father's privateer crew at the age of thirteen, she has grown into a strong pirate leader (upon her fathers death she chose the more lucrative path of piracy vs privateer). Raiding and burning small seaport towns is one of her specialties.

Ingrid is a 28mm metal piece from Brigade Games.

Every Battle goes better with Gunpowder

A group of Italian matchlock men ready their pieces in one of the countless battles among the city states of Italy.

With the early matchlock, gunpowder became a true power on the battle field. Heavy armor could not stop a matchlock ball and soon the day of the heavy armored knight and man-at-arms was coming to a close.

These are 25mm metal figures from Hinchcliffe that I painted in the early 1980's.

Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's Marvelous Semi-floating Juggernaut

Moving at high speed, the "Alexi," Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's Marvelous Semi-floating (patent pending) Juggernaut, is only a blur for our photographer. Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's Marvelous Semi-floating (patent pending) Juggernaut is the first of a new method of transportation using the power of steam and air. Using his Marvelous Semi-floating invention (patent pending), Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant has created a vehicle that rides on a mattress of air. This allows unprecedented speeds and the ability to travel over uneven ground and even water!

With his machine at rest, the power and strength of Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's Marvelous Semi-floating(patent pending) Juggernaut is impressive. Armed with a modern quick fire cannon, Maxim machine gun and the latest nickle-steel armor (its thickness is classified, but is available for serious customers only), Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's Marvelous Semi-floating (patent pending)Juggernaut has the ability to control any field of combat.

Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's firm, "Juggernauts for You," is now accepting orders for his Marvelous Semi-floating (patent pending)Juggernaut. Design modifications for individual tastes and species are acceptable at a slight additional charge. Order now-don't be the only combatant without one!

Alexi, Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's Marvelous Semi-floating Juggernaut is a scratch built ACV-AFV, that I built for Space 1889, but I also plan to use it in my 1920's Pulp Fiction campaign. For fun, I decided to write this post like one of those new and/or improved ad's that always make a point of the "patent pending" so you know that ours is better than the rest concept.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's Marvelous Semi-floating Juggernaut in its initial stages of construction. The rotating armored turret and cannon and drivers vision slots are in place. More armor, a Maxim, bolt heads and the "Marvelous Semi-floating Skirt" will be added soon.

Dr. Nicoli Rasputkant's Marvelous Semi-floating Juggernaut is a ground effects vehicle I am scratch building for my Space 1889 Campaign. Also suitable for Steampunk and Pulp Fiction.

"Yes, I am a Pirate Captain...Captain of the Galley that is."

Garbell, is the 28mm scale metal piece Bergo Ironbelly from Reaper Figures.
