Finished: 1/4800 scale Littorio- class Battleships

Hey 2 posts in a row! That's a rarity. Anyway;

Finally finished my 1/4800 scale Littorio- class 'Vittorio Veneto' and 'Littorio' Battleships of the Italian Navy/Regina Marina. Each took about 3 hours of work.

This is for 'Naval Thunder', a WWII historical naval miniatures war game me and my buddies are playing as of the moment.

Dropped by to greet you all:

A Happy Extraterrestrial Culture/Library Lover's/Ferris Wheel Day! Coincidentally it's also Happy Horned Lizard Day!

My usual response whenever I'm asked out.

  Just a thought.Nothing much as I am still ass-deep on all the work-in-progress stuff I have. 

Catch y'all later.

Painting Slum: Nothing the Ultramen can't fix

I've been on a painting slump  lately. I get a lot of it through the year and it usually happens when I have a long streak of painting works (usually for 3 months straight) until my hands/eyes/both of it gets tired. So whenever i get it, I get up and go away from my work table for a bit and do something else.

I try my hand at toy photography.

Naval Thunder Battle Report: French vs.Italian Navies

I've been playing a good number of miniatures war games and this is just the first time that I'll be writing a battle report. This one's gonna for Naval Thunder, a WWII historical naval war game that me and my buddies were longing to try out.

Features!

I've been running a number of DeviantArt deviant features these past few months. But I've never imagined that I'm being featured on one.

...from all the Warhammery stuff.
 

Odds and Ends

 
First there's this awesome anime CCG called Weiss Schwarz, and now its a Gundam minis game.

You heard me right, there is a GUNDAM MINIS GAME and its called Gundam Collection Tactical Battles.

It's not everyday that you see an Inori deck box lying around

Aside from miniatures, video games comics and other geeky stuff I'm a big fan of Collectible Card Games (CCG's). I've been through a 'Magic: The Gathering' phase when it was all the rage back in the '90's. Then there was Legend of the Five Rings (L5R), Animayhem and the VS system and a whole slew of other CCGs. I thought I knew and played them all to the point that I stepped out of it for quite some time (like when Time Spiral for Magic: The Gathering came out but that's a story for another day).

Sleeves are WIN!

Poor Man's Army

Orkses nevah loos!

If you think that miniatures warganes/skirmish games is an expensive hobby to get into then you're mostly right. Miniatures tend to be intimidating due tot their size-to-price ratio but I willleave that discussion for another time.

However, there are ways to start a cost-effective miniatures collection for gamng and collecting. I'll not be discussing a get-around but more of a wise method of purchasing and planning. Note that I'll be transparent on the costs and will be using my current Warhammer 40,000 Orks army for this discussion but what I'll give out applies to most modern miniatures as well.

OK here it goes.

WH40K: Salamanders Space Marines Terminators

Second wave of my Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines that I'm currently working on.   

Here's my Salamanders Space Marines Terminators ready to roll out. They're the Elites called upon when there is a threat graver than any other Space Marine could handle. Each Terminator wears tactical Dreadnought armor and is armed with the best weapons available.
