Damned PC Games

If you’re a regular visitor you’ve probably noticed this blog has slowed a bit in the past month. I’m still modelling but I’ve been increasingly distracted by fiendish PC games. It’s also heading into summer down here in New Zealand so my garage modelling space is unbearably hot during the day and stifling warm in the evenings.

In particular a few ‘big name’ games like ‘Call of Duty 2′, ‘CounterStrike:Source’ and ‘Battlefield 2′ have been stealing hours of my evening modelling time each week. I’ve also been wasting more time with several superb ‘indie’ games like Digital Eel’s ‘Weird Worlds’ and Introversion’s ‘Darwinia’.

Hopefully I’ll get some modelling done over the Xmas break!

Timothy Richards Palaise Royal Timothy Richards is a British gentleman that makes architectural models of historic buildings for a living. His website is packed with interesting photos and it seems a lot of the techniques he uses are very similar to your average tabletop wargamer’s.

His prices are eye-opening though! For example this particular piece sells for 650GBP or $1620NZ at today’s exchange rate.

Afrika Korp North African Airfield I’ve been Googling for various North African period photos as inspiration for my Flames of War table. This is the best photo of a North African ‘airfield’ I’ve come across.

That’s a lot of Ju 52s and a Messerschmitt Bf 110 in the foreground by the looks of it (well spotted Ben).

Afrika Korp North African Airfield I also stumbled across this interesting photograph of a German AK Bf 109 in a nice desert camo!

Good inspiration for painting that Stuka I bought a while back.

Old Crow 15mm Sci Fi Pipeline Old Crow Models make a number of interesting looking sci-fi 15mm vehicles for some game system I’m unfamiliar with. However what really grabbed me was their 15mm pipe sections.

I wonder how good these pieces would look as ducting for 28mm terrain?
