The Wargames Report

The slot car / Scalextric crowd would be all over that one. 😀

@gareth_lane @MikeEverest7 Yes it does.

@MikeEverest7 It looks shite doesn't it

BREAKING ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship Moskva confirmed sank. The first Russian loss of a flagship since the Russian-Japanese war of 1904-1905. A historic Ukrainian victory.

Have been working on 3D printing for almost a week and I think I am getting the hang of it. I have yet to fire the resin equipment up, but am starting to get very good results on my Ender 3 FDM printer.

Just bought a filament 3D printer AND a resin 3D printer. And I already have so many items that still need to be painted. This hobby really is a sickness....😆

@OspreyBooks Lots of Medieval-era battles yet to cover - Najera, Montiel, Tunisian Crusade, Morgarten, Sempach, Grandson, Morat, Roosebeke, Cassel, Courtrai, the Gugler War, Varna, Kosovo...

We publish a lot of WWII here at Osprey, but today we're wondering what other time periods you enjoy reading about and why. Let us know in the comments! For me, it's the Wars of the Roses every time.

@PainterTactical @Moiterei1984 Now THAT"S funny!

Seen this @Moiterei1984? O e for your collection 😂

@Airfix I don't use aircraft a lot in my wargaming, but when I do I like to go with something a little out-of-the-ordinary. These vintage classics fit the bill. Found them recently sorting through my boxes, along with a few others!

@BitsHammer And most of those Ukrainians didn't own those guns prior to the war. The vast majority of those arms were handed out by their national/local governments after the invasion.

Found a few more of the old #Airfix models. Always loved the box art.

@IAPonomarenko Sad that this is going on at all - but seems this approach is the best. Grabbing the enemy by the belt buckle and pulling him close makes it harder for Russia to use air and artillery support.

Ukraine’s military is entering Kyiv for urban warfare against Russia. All hell breaks loose.

What are you all using to photograph your miniatures?

Had previously posted about building these 20mm / 1:72 bombards before out of tiny wood spools - wargamesreport.blogspot.com/2013/10/constr… - but did a final touch-up wash and re-photographed. Figures are Airfix Robin Hood and a Giant recast knight.

Most of my WWII tanks and (most) vehicles are 1:87 (Roco) scale, which I use with my 1:72/1:76 figures. This is because I managed to gather a huge amount of diecast Zylmex tanks in this scale, as well as lots of Roco minitanks back in the 1990s. Still painting them..😆

Boxes and Boxes and Boxes.... Sorting through stuff I have and stuff I will admittedly never get around to using: wargamesreport.blogspot.com/2022/02/boxes-…

Picked up about 20 mixed boxes of the Revell 30YW figures about 20 years ago, thinking I'd combined them with some Call to Arms figures to create some ECW armies. Never got around to it. Similar plans for the other eras, but you just can't do everything... [sigh]

Spent time going through boxes and boxes of 1/72 plastics that I've horded over the years. Have finally come to the realization that I will probably only ever be playing WWII, Medievals and maybe ACW. Which will leave lots of WWI, Ancients and Revell 30YW looking for new homes.
