54mm AWI riders

After months of avoiding them, I finished the last three mounted AWI figures I had. These are plastic figures from (I think) Armies in Plastic. I lopped off the tricorns and put some smaller helmets nicked from a HaT SYW Prussian infantry set.

These aren't meant to be any particular unit. The green coats are generic enough to be used on either side. Just trying to finish off some extra figures that were laying about.

Not my best paint job ever. I always forget how much surface area there is on a 54mm figure!

Up next: Maybe some board gaming figures for a friend.

3-D printed Cylons

Awhile back, I painted up some Cylons from Crooked Dice. I noticed that Tangent Miniatures was also offering some 3-D prints so I bought both sets. 

These were pretty nice figures with lots of poses. I left out the two pilot poses and I also seem to left one fellow on the painting table when I snapped these figures.

With the exception of Centurian Powerpoint (top left, what is that guy supposed to be doing?), the poses are pretty good and there is a mix of rifles, pistols and swords.

They fit in well enough with the Crooked Dice Cylons (left below).

The Tangent plastics (left below) are a bit beefier but also have finer details than the Crooked Dice metals but, on the table, they are hard to tell apart.

They all fit in with the Tangent Miniatures Colonials pretty well.

Up next: Who knows: 54mm AWI cavalry? 

More British regulars for the Crimea

This is the rest of the Foundry British regulars in field garb for the Crimea.

There were some extra guys standing at attention plus two command sets.

Not my best painting ever but passable.

Up next: Cylons.

Random sci-fi clean-up

My goal this summer is to get the top of my painting table cleaned up and perhaps all of the figures off of it. This week is a random selection of sci-fi figures.

 Crooked Dice released this dagget and Twiggy combination. Always a sucker for BSG, I bought it. 

The dagget fits in nicely with the Colonials I have from Tangent Miniatures.

I discovered this lone Star Wars droid. It is plastic and likely a micro machine? Pretty close to the metal West End Games 25mm one I have.

Since my Crooked Dice order had some room left in it before the shipping went up, I opted to add in this Xena figure. Meh. Arms were separate with the join in the middle of the bicep (which sucked). I worry her arms won't survive first contact with my gaming buddies ("Easy here, Lenny"). Tangent Miniatures looks to be offering its own Xena plus friends.

Up next: More Crimea.
