Fantasy settings require treasure, so I put together some treasure markers.

Eventually, I reach the focus of my Frostgrave project, the magic users Mizuki and Ryuhime.

“Hey, are you interested in a cartoon/comic/movie about Teenage Mutant Turtles?”
“No way!”
“What if they were ninjas?”
“SOLD!”
“Partaay!”
I am a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. I have wanted to paint TMNT toy soldiers for years, but I never found the right project to slot them into. Until now.

(Flashing) Enter the Dragon (Rampant)
Posted on 25/03/2016 by sho3box
After thirty years of painting toy soldiers I painted my very first dragon recently, plus its progeny.
The model is part of a dragon related group project that I have been taking part in and so…
…THE…
“Scale Creep” is a new toy soldier related project that I am involved in with a group of productive hobby buddies.
The plan for this new blog is to keep the emphasis on group projects, plus a bit of hobby related schoolboy goofing around too. The post about this dragon is my first solo contribution to Scale Creep, so pop over and take a look at that and see if it appeals.
The other contributors are talented, interesting and fun guys, so it should feature plenty or worthwhile content as time goes on.
Sho3box isnt going anywhere however and will operate entirely independently of Scale Creep, with overlap here and there as appropriate.
More Shonen Knives are in the pipeline, so expect the next batch of them here soon.

Samurai, Ninja, Orc

Real life is rather busy at the moment, so these four took a little longer to finish than I had hoped. But I like the way that they turned out all the same.

Colony 87 Kickstarter
Posted on 25/02/2016 by sho3box
A friend of mine (“axiom” from Magpie and Old Lead) is running his second “Colony 87” Kickstarter.
Miniatures painted by “Asslessman” from the “Leadplague” blog.
I dont tend to promote Kickstarters on this blog too often, but…
- it is a friends project
- the promotional figures are painted by another friend (“Asslessman” from Leadplague)
- the models are aimed precisely at folks like me, so readers here might like them too.
Also of note is that if you missed the previous C87 Kickstarter there is another pledge option to get the original six figures, which are equally beautiful designs and sculpts.
Miniatures painted by “Asslessman” from the “Leadplague” blog.
If you like nice miniatures and/or gaming in less militarised sci-fi zones then it really is worth taking a look at these.
Back to the regularly scheduled painted toy soldier posts next time.
