WIP: Port Tavern

Well, I have great ambitions to make my own 6'x4' port table for all the various fantasy, Skirmish games I play. This little building is the beginning of that very long project. Hopefully I can power through and see this to completion, and not just have another half finished project sitting on my shelves.
Here's a few pics of the work done so far.

Pirate Booty

Well, for my first post here on the new blog, I thought I'd throw up something a little bit different from my normal fare. She is the Female duelist from Reaper miniatures.  I've been working on this fig, on and off for a little while now, trying to figure out what I could use her as.
I came to the conclusion that she would make a great proxy for First mate Hawk in a Warmachine Pirates army.
So, if I ever get some Pirate Jacks and Casters, I have a solo to go with them.....

End Scotty's Workshop, Begin Geek Garage

Well, the time has come for bigger and better things. A few friends and I have decided to start a collaborative blog together, and rather than try to upkeep that one and this one, I am going to pour all of my efforts into the new one.
I hate to leave this blog behind as I feel I put a lot of time and effort into it, but I believe with the added minds and content of my new, fellow contributors, the Geek Garage will be all that much better.
All of my posts from this blog have been imported to the new one so, they will all still be in one handy spot.

Thanks to all of you that have followed or just perused Scotty's Workshop, hopefully all of you can now come on over to the Geek Garage for more great hobby content.

This way into the GEEK GARAGE!!


Cheers!

Iron Kingdoms: Alexia

Painted this up as a quick commission for the local Pressganger. I wasn't too terribly impressed with this fig upon first inspection but I have come to like it quite a bit now.  I had planned to do some sort of Epic base for her, but while I was trying to snap the tab off, her feet started to break at the ankles. So, here is what we get after that debacle.

I may have to pick one of these up for myself. I think it has a lot more character than the boxed one that comes with the Risen.

Memory lane: Boomhowler & Trollkin Mercs

Well, posting up my Ironbreakers the other day gave me an Idea for some blog content. I have oodles of painted miniatures that have never been shown to anyone other than just a few close friends and gaming buddies. So, I thought I'd post once or twice a month showcasing my older figs (rough as they may be)

First in line could only be Boomhowler and his Trollkin Mercs. Besides Eiryss, these were the first Mercs I picked up for Warmachine, and some of my very first attempts at freehand with those Tartans.
These guys were finished almost exactly 5 years ago to date.( I paint the month and year on the bottom of figs I finish)

To War!

Well, these guys are not necessarily a new paint job but the reason I am putting them up here is that I finally got one unit of my massive Dwarven horde completely equipped with painted shields. You may be thinking Whoopty doo, but this is actually quite a milestone for me.
For some strange reason I have no problem painting up the rank and file soldiers, 5 or even 10 at a time. I always forgo the shields though. I know they make the unit look much better and helps with WYSIWYG but I still tend to ignore them completely.

So, now my Ironbreakers may charge forth into battle, fully equipped and armored.

First flame....of war that is

Got my first U.S tank all finished up for Flames of War. I really had no idea what I was doing, and I do think it shows somewhat. I was surprised at how different these little things were to paint as opposed to a 28mm fig.
I am pleased with how it turned out though, and I do think it will look ok as a whole force rather than a magnified single piece.
As of this point in time, I think I'll be running a 29th infantry division with some medium tank backup.
Now to learn this game!
