Latest Completed Units / Projects (Hobby Post)

Here I will post updates on the latest wargames units I have added to my collection. Newest entries at the top.

This two-part overview article is aimed at gamers interested in exploring a new scale or a new material or a new era or a combination of these. In Part I shall look at 1/72 scale figures.

Here's a quick guide to painting American Civil War Union & Confederate forces. My experience has mainly been with 1/72 scale and 1/32 scale plastics but there is no reason why at least some of this info should not be of use to those painting other scales or materials.

My ACW Union 1/72 Scale Wargames Army (Hobby Post)

Here's an overview of my Union Army.

(I have also done one for the Confederate Army: Confederate 1/72 scale army)

All figures shown were painted and based by me.

Most of the sets are still in production. These plus the Vallejo Game Color paints, static grass, Victrix bases and plastic building card I used are available from my store if you fancy having a go at the ACW in this scale yourself.
