TIGERtanker's Metal Militia: May 2010
http://tigertankermm.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. Update on battlefront Hueys, trials and solutions. Stay tuned. I hear that "snap-snap-snap" of Huey blades at low power as they power-down to make a landing at "LZ Tigertanker". Thursday, May 27, 2010. I've been working on these puppies off and on since they arrived in the mail. and every time I handle them (especially the snipers, seen here), I can't wait to use them! Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Flashpoint Miniatures USMC Fireteam 1968. I painted these up for my friend Ken, also as a ch...

TIGERtanker's Metal Militia: August 2012
http://tigertankermm.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 13, 2012. US Army "Modern" fireteam. I wanted to take up the challenge of doing modern US Army troops, in what was at the time the field uniform, in UCP camoflague. Between the color scheme at scale, and the dot patterns, it was a GREAT challenge, having to paint and strip several times before I arrived with a technique that yielded the results I wanted. For your amusement. I intend to use these for the new Force on Force modern skirmish rules. I'm going 20mm, and it should be awesome!

TIGERtanker's Metal Militia: October 2010
http://tigertankermm.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. 15MM Peter Pig CSA Officer "Brave Colonel". I was planning to present my first completed Confederate regiment based for the Regimental Fire and Fury system. I was planning it anyway, until my 4 year old son (yes, he who is pictured a few posts back) decided to "help" me by improving the flesh highlight, by painting ALL THIRTY FIGURES IN MASS GLOPPY GOBS OF GDW "ELVEN FLESH"! Is my first offering, a "brave Colonel" marker from the Confederate ranks. Thursday, October 14, 2010.

http://tigertankermm.blogspot.com/2014/02/not-that-it-took-me-three-attempts-or.html
Tuesday, February 18, 2014. Not that it took me three attempts or anything. Here I present for your scrutiny and entertainment, my IL2 Shurmovik. All resin, 1:144 scale made by Battlefront mainly for use in their Flames of War system. Know, if one takes the time to do some basic research some really neat things happen. Google led me to a subsection of "Soviet Warplanes.com". Http:/ mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/il-2/il-2.htm. So here we are, "white 22". I based the paint scheme on the the Kuybyshev factor...

Thursday, March 1, 2012. Battelfront and PSC T-34/85 side by side photos. I still have some work to do, with one track still needing to finish assembly and basecoat/priming, the rest need attention to the track and tow cables. I'm debating whether or not to add dust effects, or just keep them clean. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Battelfront and PSC T-34/85 side by side photos. View my complete profile.

TIGERtanker's Metal Militia: February 2012
http://tigertankermm.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 2, 2012. ASL to FoW Conversion Project. Episode 1 "Prelude to Luttich". I had a wild idea a some time ago about taking Advanced Squad Leader scenarios and converting them to Flames of War. Historical scenarios with FoW are something, I feel, that can be greatly expanded upon, as a taste of "something different", and a way to better embrace the historical nature of a table-top miniatures wargame. Here is the first installment, "Prelude to Luttich". 1 Inf'y command team (CO). 1 HMG team ...

TIGERtanker's Metal Militia: June 2012
http://tigertankermm.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 9, 2012. A little help for my. comerades! For your amusement, my first support unit, a company of 120MM mortars ready to lob hot steel onto the heads of the Hitlerite invaders! In Flames of War terms, 130 points for 6 tubes (Red Bear), 20 points for observers and trucks. AT 3, FP 3 , range: 56". I've decided to dig the battery in, making for a more interesting visual. The process wasn't hard, build the timber frame and pile up the gravel in front of it layer by layer. A little help for my&...

Wednesday, May 2, 2012. PSC T-34/85's Finally Completed. The numbers, I think, have a great effect, and am happy with the results. All I need to do now is repeat my luck with the 5 (6 including the Dedov model) /42 turrets for mid-war units. I've got 1/72 dry transfers coming soon so I'll keep y'all posted on that progress.

TIGERtanker's Metal Militia: October 2013
http://tigertankermm.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 10, 2013. Soviet KV-1s heavy tank company. Even though it came as quite a shock to German forces as they invaded the Soviet Union, the Soviets were never completely happy with the KV design. Soviet KV-1 with the later cast turret. KV-1 E with applique armor plates bolted on to counter expected German AT improvements. Here I have a company of 15mm KV-1 s heavy tanks, by Battlefront. I prefer dry transfers to water-slide decals, and that is what I used for the turret numbers. No unit ...
