80’s Citadel Lord of the Rings Easterling

 I’ve done some more 80’s Citadel goodness. 

This is one of those figures that I really wanted to paint. I had, had the foot figure before but that disappeared a while ago & along came Adam & asked me to paint it for him 😁

Anyway here’s some more pictures

Some Old School Citadel Goodness

 


As can be seen from the picture above, I've just been painting up some 

old Citadel Miniatures from the late 80's early 90's

Citadel Daleks

 I picked up some of the Old Citadel Daleks & Davros a couple of years ago at Fiasco in Leeds & have finally decided to tackle them, as there was one with a missing head dome & Arm Plunger as well as broken & missing Eye Stalks.

I though that i would try to sort out the one with the missing dome & plunger first.

So  I made a press mold of a dome from a complete Dalek & used milliput to mold a new dome, then put a bit of plastic rod in the dremel & used this like a lathe & turned some a new Eye pieces & the funny ringed bit, then i made a claw for the arm.

Some WIPS & the completed figures can be seen below

I will have to create a Pulp Alley League







I've had a flying saucer for years (since Beatties Model Shop in Leeds closed down!) & put some ping pong balls on the underside, sprayed it silver & dirtied it up a bit, now the Dalek invasion can begin 😂

A few more Silver Bayonet Bad Guys & the First Figure for The Trading Company Unit

 

I have painted up The Harvestmen Agents pack from Northstar 
From the Canada Supplement these are a nice couple of figures.
one is an Assassin & the other an Agent


This is another of the Westwind Nosferatu, 
to go with the 2 that i painted previously.


And Finally My Gaffer for the Trading Company unit from The Canada supplement.
The figure is from Mr Hecht by Artizan Designs & found in The Grimm Prairie Tales Range.
I have tweaked him by changing his hat into a Top hat, altered the holster slightly & added a hammer & flint to the pistol, but otherwise he is unchanged. 
 

Thanks for looking 😎

A Few Pulp Miniatures

 Just been trying to take some pictures of my Pulp Alley Leagues & some plot points, so I thought I might as well share them on here, as they’ve not been shown all together 

First is The Tunbotham Detectives, then the next league is The Order of the Silver Cross a Vatican investigation team 

Following after are the plot points, with some scratch built & bought bits. 

Finally, there’s  three Perils 2 drunken sailors & a goose

A Grizzly & French Drum Major

 I’ve finished a couple more bits for Silver Bayonet, a French drum Major from Front Rank, I will use him as either a Supernatural Investigator or an Occultist (especially as it looks like he is carrying a Wizards staff 😁) I still might put piping round the turnbacks though 🥴

Then there’s only a Sailor, Vivandière & 2 officers & I will have finished all that I’m going to do for the French Unit.
The next one that I’ve done is a Grizzly from Rogue Miniatures, this will be used either as the Werebear in a Trading Company Unit or just as a Monster to fight

The Silver Bayonet Bad Guys

 

Just realised that I hadn’t posted anything about the Tsemaus, so here goes: 

For The New Canada Expansion I needed a Tsemaus! 
I had no Idea what this was so I searched it up on the net.

When i found out what it was I decided I would make one!

I looked for a suitable base miniature & found a Kinder Egg Dolphin figure.

I cut off the lower half the filled & glued it together as well as pointing off the nose.
I then made a dorsal fin from a bit of plasticard & logs from scribed plastic rod.






I've also painted a Polar Bear, Moose & a Baxbaxwalanuksiwe from North Star. 
I also re-based a Bears Head miniatures (Now from Bad Squiddo Games) Wendigo 
& Black Bear (dont know where I got that from)


Below are a couple of Cultists

A Demon From RAFM

Converted figures for The Silver Bayonet

Finally another sporadic blog update 😁

I've been finishing up more stuff for The Silver Bayonet.

So to start i finally found a miniature to use for a Heavy cavalryman. The base figure is Lord Byron from Matchlock Miniatures,The Regency Zombie Hunters range sold by Minifigs/Caliver Books. 

I added some cuffs, turnbacks & widened the front of the coat, tweaked the waist coat to look more like a military fatigue jacket & added a sash

I then made a sword scabbard from some flattened copper wire with fittings, straps, links & sword knot made from greenstuff/brownstuff & fuse wire.

Here's the pictures of the Heavy Cavalryman








I wanted to add a Highwayman to the Unit, so I bought the pack of Beedles & Watchmen from the Irish Uprising range sold by Skytrex Military Models. 

There's three figures to a pack with separate heads, I already had a use for 2 of the miniatures.

I used a bare head that i had kicking about & made a battered top hat & neckerchief mask from greenstuff to make him look like what I imagined a Highwayman to be like.



I also used the figure with the Blunderbuss as a Coachman, I just used the standard figure for this without any modifications.
 



Finally, I picked up the issue of Wargames Illustrated with the free sprue of Plastic Warlord Games French Napoleonic Infantry.

First of all I cut off the muskets, I liked the look of the figures with the arm still across the chest, as if it was muscle memory from marching with the muskets.

Next I cut off the head from the Shako, gluing on a Zombie head from the old  Studio miniatures WW2 german Zombies.

I also added an arm to one the figures to make it look like it was carrying & eating it as it was walking along.




Cheers
