Ok, lately I've been toying with some new concepts for creature design for a new alien race or two, for use in 15mm Sci-fi wargaming. Everytime I start this creative process, regardless of what the creature is going to be used for, a large sculpture or mask, an ornament or miniature, the brainstorm begins. This… Continue reading 15mm Miniature Creature Design basics
BMP-1 Paper Model (Enhanced LoD) - Paper Forge | Modern Vehicles | Wargame Vault. I love papermodels, they are the cheap and cheerful cousins of plastic kits, with the added bonus of the ability to keep churning them out just for the cost of card & ink. There are plenty of useful ones around with… Continue reading Paper Forge BMP1 tank at Wargame Vault
So I thought I would share my latest finished alien plant terrain piece, I regret, I wished had more time to spare between my projects, wargaming, sculpting and real life commitments. Usually I would have taken some WIP shots as I made the piece, but due to time constraints and not having my camera charged,… Continue reading More 15mm Alien plant terrain- Alien swamp
Following on from the last article I wrote about 15mm stuff they should do, the Xmas television I saw gave me some new ideas on ranges that SHOULD be made. I doubt that they will as these are mostly trademarked and licenced properties, this might be so but would not rule out some "not" versions… Continue reading More suggested 15mm figure ranges that should be made…
So you may recall me going on about a sculpt that I did last year being cast up. I thought that I would show you a first paint up of my new figure. Its a Criat Mercenary in 15/18mm scale for sci fi battle games. As you can see from my scheme, I chose a… Continue reading First Look: Finished 15mm Criat Alien Mercenary miniature
Every time I walk past the HQ model of the Black dog building I made, I get the urge to start expanding the scenery how I had intended to originally. I do then, realise that this kind of thing needs time devoted to it. Yesterday, I had a couple of hours spare to get something… Continue reading Black Dog HQ landing pad scenic WIP

These days the humble 15mm miniature has seen something of a revival within the gaming world, I myself have always been a fan since I was a kid (My dad bought me my first mini at about the age of 7 or so) What stopped me from getting the 15mm bug full on, was the… Continue reading Ten 15mm miniature ranges nobody makes!

Well folks, you might have remembered my 15mm green sculpt of the Criat Mercenary I sent off for the SHM range at 15mm.co.uk. As you can see, he's been cast up in shiny white metal now, and from this pic of the master cast, he's looking fine and pretty much an identical match for the… Continue reading First Look: 15mm Criat Mercenary master cast!
So, off my workbench I have another bunch of new sculpts of 15mm sci-fi goodness, the latest Oggam and a few other odds and sods. First up the Ogs, the latest in the League of Anthracks troops, an Oggam Storm trooper, which I would love a few units of these alone, painted with star wars… Continue reading More 15mm sculpts for your perusal….
