1-72-scale.com: 20mm / 1:72 Sci-Fi / Near Future / Post-Apoc Conversions

http://www.1-72-scale.com/2012/11/update-20mm-172-sci-fi-near-future-post.html

20mm / 1:72 Sci-Fi / Near Future / Post-Apoc Conversions. Quick update on the Sci-Fi / Post-Apoc front. A new painted "Control Trooper" sporting a riot helmet. He's accompanied by a Stryker from the "World Order" policing forces. I've seen a lot of 15mm Sci-Fi figures on various blogs that have really inspired me into getting into the genre. These are some of the first attempts and I'm quite pleased how they're coming along. November 24, 2012. November 26, 2012. November 24, 2012. November 26, 2012.

1-72-scale.com: More 1/72 Post Apocalyptic Madness

http://www.1-72-scale.com/2013/05/more-172-post-apocalyptic-madness.html

More 1/72 Post Apocalyptic Madness. Some more pictures of the "post-apoc" figure conversions I started off some months ago. I'm pleased with the way the head-swaps have worked out on the modern figures. They are mostly Caesar with a few Revell moderns thrown in (US and Germans if I remember rightly) and the majority of the head swaps with caps coming off Imex Korean War figures and a few Revell DAK. Comments and / or suggestions are more than welcome. May 27, 2013. May 27, 2013. May 28, 2013. May 28, 2013.

1-72-scale.com: Speedpainting Zulus - some progress on the horde of figures

http://www.1-72-scale.com/2016/10/speedpainting-zulus-some-progress-on.html

Speedpainting Zulus - some progress on the horde of figures. This is definitely a quantity over quality job, and speed is of the essence, so I'm hoping to finish them all off and be ready for basing sometime at the end of the week. I'll also give a runthrough here on the technique I'm using to speedpaint the figures. It works (well, at least for me) on painting very dark / black skin tones. First step is to give a heavy basecoat of tough black-gloss enamel paint. You can then just paint up the details.

A "Mad-Max" type punk-rocker sporting a colourful mohican haircut. The head came off an Esci WW2 Paratrooper. The Law - Police / Military / Control-Troopers.

1/72 Scale / 20mm Plastic LOTR Figures. This was quite a find, these are are the main characters from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and came in an old out-of-production Spanish boardgame that I found in a clearance offer in a big department store some months back. The running figure with a club is a 1/72 scale Zvezda guy. April 27, 2014. Nice figures. What was the name of the board game they came in? May 01, 2014. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Bolt Action in 1/72. My first game in what seems like an eternity and first post on the blog in 9 months - no, I wasn't pregnant ;-). A 1/72 scale "what if" scenario on the outskirts of Arnhem WW2. Bolt Action rulset, umpired by my mate Carlos and gamed yesterday afternoon with the fellas from the Brazo de Nelson wargame group. March 15, 2015. Very fun game and rules, a shame I lost most of it.

http://www.1-72-scale.com/2014/07/repaints-grey-early-war-172-176.html

Repaints - grey early war 1/72 and 1/76. These are for an early war campaign that our wargame group has been planning for some time. There's a good mix of manufacturers here, vehicles spanning over a decade. The Panzer 38(t) at the front is a recent model, a repainted and weathered Altaya 1/72, as is the Panzer II on the left just behind it (Altaya), both donated to the cause by my mate Carlos. All very interesting stuff, right? July 06, 2014. Where did end the Attack pz38t we had? July 06, 2014. LOL) - ...

1-72-scale.com: WW2 British / Commonwealth Infantry Conversions

http://www.1-72-scale.com/2012/09/ww2-british-commonwealth-infantry-final.html

WW2 British / Commonwealth Infantry Conversions. The old Matchbox British Infantry and 8th Army sets have a good all-round mix of figures, and greatly inspired by the pictures of converted Matchbox figures posted by Paul on his 20th Century Wargames Blog. And Al on the Plastic Warriors Blog. I decided to try my hand at adding more variety to the poses offered in these sets. The different coloured figures come from sets spanning around 35 years. The head on Jack the Knife on the right there is a copy I ma...

1-72-scale.com: Zulus, "thousands of 'em" finished at last

http://www.1-72-scale.com/2016/12/zulus-thousands-of-em-finished-at-last.html

Zulus, "thousands of 'em" finished at last. Finallly finished, all in all, just over 150 figures. As mentioned in the previous post, most of the shields were homemade due to the fact that nearly all the original Esci shields had been lost over the years. The spears were also missing and were replaced with spears made from stiff plastic broom bristles. To make up the numbers, a handful of Esci Barbarians managed to slip in as Zulu"impostors". December 11, 2016. December 11, 2016. And I love your shields!
