WIP Toltec Statue
00 Another objective marker under construction – this time it’s a Toltec statue half buried in the sand. The piece is semi-painted because Iwanted to see how well the detail shows up before I went too far. I was happy with it.

Strange Seas
00 In the lead up to the Bugle Call 2011 in April, I am building a terrain table that will be used for the game Strange Seas, being put on by Andrew and Greg – friends of mine from Victoria. The island will be populated with a number of hazards that the pirate captains have […]
Ronin rabbits
00 Not your namby pamby Usagi Yojimbo style bunnies, these guys are killer ninja rabbits from the dark side of the forest! Recently, I was lucky enough to score a set of minis hot off the casting machine of Eureka’s up-coming Ronin Rabbits range that will supplement the frogs and turtles of the Warrior Frogs […]
Pond Wars diorama mk II
00 I have finished the foliage on the bonzai tree as well as painting the assassin turtle. I put the diorama inside the pot as well, so you can see how it will look once it’s all finished. All I need to do now is a little bit more ground cover and paint the frogs!
Pond Wars diorama WIP
00 I have been quietly working on a diorama in recent weeks (my first), in between other, more important projects. But I’ve nearly finished and couldn’t wait to show you all. It’s a Japanese-themed scene but using Eureka Miniature’s wonderful Warrior Frog range of figures. When I saw their Frog King model, a scene immediately […]
Pond Wars Playtest
00 I did a simple playtest last night of the first draft of the Pond Wars rules, with 16 frogs armed with various weapons took on 10 musket-armed turtles. The resulting fight was quick and brutal with 2 turtles remaining at the end of the second turn. There’s not a lot of point in explaining […]
Turtle Power
00 Eureka’s new Turtle Tank is an absolute joy to paint – I managed to paint 3/4 of this beast within an hour and am really pleased with the results far. My wife and kids said I should put it in a terrarium, and I’m inclined to agree. This has to be one of my […]
News from the Kamarg #3
00 Nic Robson from Eureka Miniatures kindly cast up some copies of a segment of the battlements for the tower. These came out really neat and enabled me to press on with the master model. The plan is to provide four main pieces to the caster, one of which needs to be duplicated to build […]
Frog Fancies
00 I have suddenly and irrevocably become enamoured with all things Japanese. Especially their mythology – it’s a world that I have never taken an interest in before and now that I have been introduced to it, my mind is filled with all manner of strange and wonderful images of demons, animal spirits and strange […]
Turtle Power
00 While I was in Melbourne last weekend, I managed to pick up one of Eureka’s biggest and most spectacular models to date – the Turtle Tank! This is a behemoth in 28mm scale. Nine turtle crew members riding in a howda atop a massive turtle (tortoise?) armed with bamboo pikes and two cannons, the […]
