Xander's Wargaming Musings

Just finished weathering a 1:50th Solido BRDM and a 1:43rd 'Russian Diecast' Moskovitch....

From the left: HLBS, HLBS, GI, HLBS, GI Conversion, HLBS.  All Graven  Images figures were removed  from their internal bases, but general...

Richard at HLBS was kind enough to end me the original catalogue listings for the Heat 40mm modern crime range he used to produce, and I tho...

I just thought I'd share some of the WiP stuff and 'things to do' that are currently lurking on my desk. They are mostly 40mms (...

My quest for compatible figures continues, although I may have found the motherload... Irregular miniatures do a wide range of 42mm figures,...

As promised - a size comparison between the Dust Tactics IS-48, the Kitech T-72 (same dimensions as their T-80 and T-90) and the Die-cast T-...

I have a strange love of the Soviet IS-3 (AKA JS-3) heavy tank. I don't know why, as despite being rushed out for the very very end of W...

More size comparisons tonight - this time a 1/43rd 'Russian diecast' UAZ (I think it came with a magazine originally) but lots of th...

I have been busy again... The Ruitainian Jagers of  the EU peace keepers have now had their jackets lengthened, and I have finished conver...

A few people have mentioned this model over the last few years - it's a cheap diecast T55 tank, advertised as being 1/43rd (apparently c...

Not sure what else to say about these,  other than that they are off to the display-case. The Fiat Ivenco apc is a schuco 1/43rd die cast, w...

My quest for compatible figures continues - this time using the Dust Tactics 1/48th scale figures. I managed to pick up a single figure from...

I have actually based these chaps since these pictures were taken,  but I thought after the last couple of waffle-y posts it'd be good ...

Just a quick post with a couple of views from my painting desk - currently working on (yet more) milita and some government forces. The dark...

Just a few snaps of some of the stuff floating around  my desk at the moment.  The models are (in no particular order) a RAFM USX drone, a k...

I have been looking for potential sources of additional figures to bolster my forces, such as the Dust figures or the Graven Images rang...

Just thought I'd pop up some pictures of my more recent 40mm acquisitions - some were duplicates (the 90s GIs and most of the Russians) ...
