So. Here’s the Round-up for March. Yes, more than a touch late, but I’ve had a fair bit going on and so it is what it is. You’ll note that scenery has a big part to show in March’s output. That’s both because of Flippy and his work ethic amd also the fact that March was when I sliced my finger open real good, which pretty much put the kibosh on painting for a good few weeks following.
The scenery then, is largely for 6-8mm “Epic” scale games, and while I’d have loved to show some things aside these buildings, we’re just not quite there yet – even now, a month later down the road from when this post should have been posted.
You can see just how much larger the Fabricator’s Lair building is when compared to everything else. It seems to me that while there’s always abstraction involved with wargame scenery and models, and infantry and vehicles, it’s a wider gap between the Battletech ones and the Epic 40k/Imperialis ones.
You know, the whole “so how exactly do 10 marines fit in a Rhino?” and then looking at the size of an actual house or apartment building compared to those in our games (any of our games). They’re always so tiny. Your typical 28mm 6×4 table (or whatever measurement 40k uses now) covered in terrain, bunkers, and L-shaped ruins would probably fit comfortably inside the car park of your local supermarket. The “Battletech” buildings seem much “worse” at this than the “Imperialis” ones.
I had 120 models of various kinds finished at the end of February. Not a lot in terms of numbers here, but 11 Buildings of various sizes, 3 Tyranid Spires, 8 Zombies, 4 Survivors/Zombivors and 3 Beastmen gets us a total of… huh. 29 models. Not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. So at the end of March, I had 149 models painted.
Onto April’s models! (also a month late!)

That’s a great output with an injury mate, and fantastic work on all. Hope your fingers better now.

That was a great output with an injury mate, and up to your usual high standard as well, hope the finger is better now.

A good amount done! 🙂 I can remember when I “designed” sci-fi vehicles to scratchbuild in card back in the 80s I used to work out the size of everything I thought that needed to fit in – the vehicles used to come out at a decent size but never smaller than a modern combat vehicle. I’ve sat in a few real AFVs and people are always a snug fit in them!

Well done on getting anything done with the wounded finger mate. The terrain is a standout

Ow! My sympathies on the finger. I really liked seeing the buildings you had been working on and this is great for seeing there size against other stuff. Great work on all of them.
When I’m writing stuff for RPG’s I like to try and do buildings/rooms in a realistic size, but if I want a miniature scaled map of a main location for a game, I probably don’t have the table space! This is probably why stuff gets shrunk.

This month’s haul definitely has a bit of a different look to it which I like. Every time I see those buildings, I do want to field an appropriately sized Godzilla and King Kong and watch them have it out 🙂 I hope your finger is feeling better and I look forward to seeing what you were up to in April.
