Hi guys I've got some more miniatures to offload, they will all be on ebay by this evening. My profile can be viewed here  ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/don-flash ) First up my Blood Bowl set, with extra players, a chaos dwarf team and three issues of blood bowl compendium My Necromunda Delaque gang My Necromunda Ratskin gang, recently stripped Three original Adeptus Arbites, with shotguns Over the coming weeks I'll be putting more necromunda up, as well as some of my older modern stuff. I'll keep you all posted. On the flip side, I have some time off so I might be able to treat you all to some painting updates–stay tuned.

It's been a while I know, I've been busy. My circumstances are changing and I now need to sell most of my miniatures. So my loss could be someones gain. Here's a link to my auctions, keep checking back over the next few weeks as I'll be updating my auctions as time allows. If you see anything you like and want to make an offer give me a shout. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/don-flash/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

3D printing isn't anything new, however we're still far from finding it's full potential. People have talked about 3d printing miniatures, but I've not seen anything solid, until today that is. Introducing Pocket-Dungeons by dutchmogul . A free to reproduce set of rules and figures for a dungeon crawl type game. Ok so it's far from polished and I'm not sure it counts as truly free, I've yet to see a 3d printer for under £1,200 and the medium costs around £400. But it is interesting to ponder as to what the future might be like. Picture this, I've got some friends over and we decide to play dungeons and dragons. I don't own a copy and my nearest wargames store (Heroes and Legends, Surbiton) stocks it, but it's the evening and they are shut. So I go online, pay a fee and download the rules as a PDF and a set of .stl files for the miniatures. I set the printer running and by the time we have had something to eat the game is waiting to be...

First off, for anyone that is curious, is a photo the the set up I use to photograph my mini's. The camera I use is a Canon 400d with a 50mm lens and the lamp is a daylight hobby lamp from Hobbycraft. First up is a repaint of some figures that have appeared on the blog before. I was never one hundred percent happy with the way these Russians looked before and after playing a bit of the somewhat disappointing Battlefield 3 I decided to go for a more modern, grungy/partizan/pea pattern look. The colour is too light to be realistic but the aim was to create the feel of the camo, not an exact copy and so for that I am happy with it. 20mm ultra modern Russians from Liberation miniatures.

Anarchist militias run to defend Barcelona and the republic.   SCW miliria are from Irregular and the ruined building is from Italeri's rather splendid terrain line. Militias defend the printworks from the Facists. The building is the German brewery ruin from Airfix's fantastic but very expensive range of resin terrain. Two Guardia civil, loyal to the Republic, keep watch on a Barcelona street corner.

I bought these fellow (Kennington miniatures) from SHQ a couple of Salutes ago. I dug them up the other week during a sort out. I really like them, they are fantastic castings. I intend to get a few more and add to them with some of the offerings from Stonewall. As is normally the case, figures seen need basing.

...not quite. You might have seen some of these bits before. This is just to prove I haven't given up on Rhodesia yet. Buildings from Frontline's 15mm range, civilians are from Irregular miniatures SCW line, but painted up as Africans. The small Baobab tree I made from a bastardised woodlands scenics armature and some polyfiller.  Liberation miniatures, Russian anti-air with African crew. RLI scouring the kraal. Figures from Liberation.
