The work on the Wolsung SSG gaming tables continues. It’s due for Salute 2012 in London, on April 21st.
A bit overdue, but my website got infected last week and only now it’s been cleaned and I’m able to fully edit posts finally.
Anyways, this week I was continuing with the Wolsung display table, finishing the boats, adding several models to spice teh table up a bit. Also, the clear resin arrived, next week I’ll be testing ways to proceed with it.
Enjoy!

So far so good, I didn’t miss any week
This week was quite short. I took a day off on Tuesday to run some errants. I managed to finish the Raven Guard Assault Squad (2 weeks for 10 models, a sluggish pace) and then I started cleaning all the enormous resin pieces. I assembled and magnetised the titan weapons and elbows (had to magnetise these, as the elbows and arms come with the body and you get only 2, and I had 3 weapons). Figuring out how to do it so that the leverage provided by the length of the barrels doesn’t snap the magnetic joint was quite tricky.
On Friday I cleaned and assembled a Scorpion Grav Tank. Boy, these are simple to put together. A lot of straightening and cleaning, though.
So that’s it for this week. Next week I hope I’ll finally get my hands on the barge and tugboats Jezus is designing for the Wolsung SSG display board I’m to paint this month.
Another week goes by, this time with some quite different modelling at hand. And on Thursday was Fat Thursday, and in the Studio we had something like 130 paczki (polish donuts with jam inside) for 21 people we have there
And, a Forge World order for another commission arrived!

So, we finally goth our next order from Corvus Belli, and the joy of painting Infinity models commenced. Now I have quite a susbstantial number of models for a game that requires 10 models to play at most. The thing is, I want to have options to choose from, and the models are sooo cooool!
Ehem. But I think they went too far with non-heroic scale with the newest models. they look mighty fine on their own, but for example I loved the old Janissaries armour design – and the new one, fine on it’s own as it is, doesn’t fit with the older models. Similarly, the Djanbazan hacker/doctor lady – her helmet is half the size of a regular Djanbazan. This looks kind of awkward.
Anyways, I finally had the chance to play with a TAG, and as is always the case with big shiny toys for me – it got shot to pieces on the first turn. The Pilot Ejection system made the game for me though (I use Ju-Jing hacker model for the pilot as it looks nothing like the rest of Haqquislam models, and I like her
)
Another week passes by…
I finished scouts, Dire Avengers and an Ork Warboss this week. I then started making bases for all the Raven Guard and eldar. Also, I bought a cheap top hat, bowler hat, two pairs of chopper chromed goggles and a crazy-coloured suit vest. And some oakum as a material for serious moustache. All for Wolsung SSG launch at Salute, London.
I thought I’ll start a new feature to keep me posting stuff: Weekly Desk.
Instead waiting to complete the project and keeping the blog silent for a month or two, I’ll make one or two photos of the models on my desk each day and post them at the end of each week. This way you can see what I’m doing and it doesn’t matter it’s not yet complete, and I need not ponder what to write about it. It’s just my weekly desk, after all
I will make posts on the complete projects, too.
Enjoy!
