Blood Red Skies - MiG Alley painting

Howdy folks,

I hope all is well on your side of the internets! I thought I would do a quick painting update post today with the last starter box of MiG Alley jets that I had purchased back in the fall. So far I had finished 2 boxes and also received a replacement MiG from Warlord cause of breakage issues I had with the first box I received. 

So all in all, I had painted up 5 x MiG 15’s and 4 x F86 Sabres. The painting overall went really well but the decals were rather finicky. So this time, rather than paint up my last 4 jets in standard colours, I thought that I would find some alternate schemes. For the Sabres I thought I would tryout the Northwest Europe NATO scheme that the Canadian Air Force used in the 1950s. It is only 2 colours so it was pretty quick to get on the jets. For the MiGs, I found a few references with colour plates showing a fairly wide variety. In this case I ended up adapting a 3 colour pattern used by either the Chinese or North Koreans during the war…and it wasn’t metallic or silver…so, bonus!

I figure that these will work well for MiG Alley and Korean War gaming, but should also work for some smaller scale Cold War and maybe Afropia air battles as well.

Enjoy.

Painting Update - Fallout

Howdy everyone,

I hope that the spring is treating you well. April has not been without its Smarch weather as we were about +15-20 degrees Celsius last week and then transitioned to +2 with snow pellets a day later via a very nice rain and hailstorm. So yeah, flexibility is key with the weather this month so far.

I recently finished up the 4 pack from Modiphius that featured the main characters from the Amazon Fallout tv series. I have to admit, I've watched the series about 4-5 times so far...yes, I really do like it...I think they did a great job capturing the look and feel of the wasteland and I'm a very big fan of Walton Goggins...and his Ghoul is outstanding.

As such, I picked up the 4 pack shortly after the series came out and took my time in painting each character up. I started with Knight Titus (trying out a non metal metal approach) and 'not' deadmeat (I can't think of the dogs name right now) and just finished up Lucy Maclean. I finished the Ghoul up about a month or so ago. All in all, excellent sculpts and alot of fun to paint up.
