Most of my Flames of War minis are from the Open Fire box set, I love box sets. FoW is 15mm.  I'll start with my Allied forces. American Airborne with British tank support. Also have some Americans not from the box set including recon jeeps, extra bazookas and command teams. German forces tomorrow!

  All the Americans from the Open Fire Box.


 Rifle teams.


 Command and Bazooka teams.


Weapons teams.


British armor including two Fireflys.


Extra Command and Bazooka teams.

Extra Recon Jeeps.


Still work to be done learning to take good pictures, Most of these are done with my phone camera. Also the Jeeps have magnets on the bottom so you can stick them to a metal sheet for transport. Although I now have Battle Foam for storage.

Just some pics of models I painted a while ago, I don't remember where I got them from. I'll post a few pictures of my Flames of War armies tomorrow.

Small update. I've placed many orders lately for various miniatures, including a sizable Firestorm Armada fleet, some WW1 naval ships for both Germany and Britain, and also a few new paints. I will post pics when they finally arrive.
Finished up my Egyptian archers, also have some chariots and spear infantry which I might paint up soon. These are 6mm miniatures the bottom photo contains a standard reference pretzel. The minis are from Heroics and Ros . Since they are so small I had a hard time getting good pictures. They have a tanned skin color with a wash, white linens and brown for the bow and arrows. Based with sand, I give most of my models a black base highlight to help things pop.








Reference pretzel!

I'm starting this blog for several reasons. Also I'm hoping that posting my projects and my progress here will inspire me to finish them. As I'm sure many people who engage in the hobby of tabletop warfare know, its easy to leave many projects unfinished. You should be aware this blog will be updated irregularly. Most of my posts will be related to miniatures, modeling, and board games. I will also post if and when I see any good sales for related items. Videos may be posted as well. Feel free to leave comments, I would love to here from fellow hobbyists or anyone who is interested. Finally I would like to say I'm by no means a professional painter or modeler, its just something I do for fun, so my paint jobs will be far from top quality.
