Band of Brothers



While the most of our commission projects consist of sci-fi and fantasy models, occasionally we receive painting requests from historical wargaming enthusiasts as well. We were recently approached by a certain Bolt Action beginner with their need for an assembled and painted 'Band of Brothers' starter set, featuring American Airborne and German Grenadiers. Eric had produced the same box from start to finish a couple of years back, so we had an instant grip on the colour palette and atmosphere of the Second World War minis.

Bolt Actionin täysin muovifiguista koostuva aloituslaatikko on varsin oivallinen lähtökohta historialliselle miniatyyripeliharrastukselle - hurjan osavalikoiman sisältävä boksi antaa mahdollisuuden varustaa jenkkien laskuvarjojoukot ja saksalaiset krenatöörit jos jonkinlaisilla ajankuvan mukaisilla aseilla ja varusteilla. Itse figut ovat juuri sopivan yksityiskohtaisia, mutta kuitenkin varsin vikkeliä maalata - värialueet ovat selkeitä ja myös varsin johdonmukaisia kunkin osapuolen sisällä. Maalasimme sakemanneihin tummien vaatteiden rinnalle myös korrekteja maastokuoseja päällystakkeihin, liiveihin ja kypäränpäällisiin. Molemmat osapuolet sitoo yhteen tietysti yhdenmukainen beissaus, jota piristettiin pienillä tufteilla ja Woodland Scenicsin kukkasilla.

Muutaman kymmenen jalkaväkifigun lisäksi kokonaisuus käsitti myös saksalaisen puolitelavaunun ja kaksiosaisen raunioituneen rakennuksen, jotka valmistuivat aikataulussa nurmiporien ohessa. Nyt aloitussetti on valmis ensimmäisiin treenipeleihin - toivottavasti taisteluosastot saavat pian vahvistuksia isompia rähinöitä varten!

  1. My name is Karina, I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed about of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and I bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
