I'm very pleased to announce I've finished the last two gangs I needed for my game at Wargames Among The Warplanes next month. The other four gangs can be seen here and here. Once again, these are a mix of Wargames Foundry "Street Violence" figures and Copplestone Castings "Bad Guys With Guns" from their Future Wars line.

From here on out I can focus on painting buildings and scatter terrain for the next month. Lacking a 4'x4' table, I unrolled a Frontline Games' "Asphalt" neoprene mat on my basement floor and laid out road pieces and my collection of modern buildings to see what kind of layout I could come up with and how many more buildings I would need to "fill" it.
Figures Purchased in 2025: 58
Figures Painted in 2025: 85
Oh, love work on these minis.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal!
Deletethese came out great. i love the fat paulie figure.
ReplyDeletei thought of doing an urban 1940's table set-up to do pulp heroes like the Shadow, the Spider, and even Dick Tracey. it was a thought. heh.
Thanks! I think that would be a great table - and Atomic Laser Cut Designs would let you do a number of buildings fairly cheaply.
DeleteI too love Fat Paulie (as a figure, not in person) I think its the pink flower in his lapel that does it. Presumably a carnation? A lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think it probably is a carnation.
DeleteLooks great, and I love that asphalt patterned mat. I just bought some light gray neoprene from a fabric store going out of business. I may try to replicate that effect...!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! The mat reads a little more blue, at least under the lights in my basement, than it did on the website; also, I need to adjust the road layout because there's a couple of iridescent "oil spill" spots that are currently covered up, and those are too neat a touch to not have on display.
