How to make: Saxon Huts

Hi Chaps,

Hope you are all well.

These past few days, I've been working on some new projects, for a new game, that I think you already know, it is called Dux Britanniarum, which is a is a set of rules for wargaming and campaigning in the Age of Arthur.

Apart from painting figures, as you may have seen in my previous post, I have also taken the initiative to prepare some terrain pieces, such as the ones you'll see below.

Basically, I wanted to make some Saxon Huts. Generic huts. I took some balsa wood, pieces of vinyl tiles, an old towel (yes, towel - if you don't believe me, see this excellent article by Matakishi's site) and paints. 

The building procedure is shown in the photo sequence below. Simple really, not many fiddly parts to make your life difficult.

Hope you like them.

Ramble on!

Emhar Set 7206 Saxon Warriors

Hi chaps!

Just a quick update in my blog.

Some figures, from Emhar's excellent set (Saxon Warriors), I recently painted.

The colour variation is not very extended, due to the reason I wanted quantity and not quantity. Hope you understand. :)

Hope you like them.

When SWMBO is away, this occurs.

Last week was my last holiday week (well, I'm going to get some few more days for a wedding - not mine..yet), so I had plenty of time to paint and amuse myself. SWMBO was working during this week....and the feeling was: ohhhh what a bliss!

I've painted plenty of figures as you will see below, from various historical periods - dark ages, musket era, vietnam war and modern times.

By following this pattern, I realized that my mojo did not diminish  by the end of the week, and that was because I didn't feel bored whilst painting. Using similar techniques, but, different colours and figures the difference was huge for me, and I think that I may stick to this alternative method, for what is worth. 

So....

Saxons (Emhar #7206 Saxon Warrions)

FIW French (Zvezda's GNW Swedish Infantry) - see previous work 

Kambodian Khmer Rouge soldiers (see the red scarf...) - Vietnam war (I used a set from Imex - Korean War/ # 531 Chinese's  People Liberation Army)

US Marines - Vietnam War (Italeri's #6078 - US Special Forces - Ex ESCI) - see previous work

And now for something completely different...

US Infantry - Mogadishu / Somalia (Revell #02520 US Infantry) - a new (as if, I didn't have many already).

I hope that you didn't find them too many, and that they didn't distract you from my one theme/time per post.

Hope you all have a great Monday!
