A hobby blog documenting my progress into model making and miniature painting for table top wargames. Models and reports for games like Beyond the Empire, Setting the East Ablaze, and Fist Full of Lead. And also the occasional posts about fishies.

My fishy guy being all grumpy. He's doing great, got some wonderful photos of him recently. Remember, wargaming hobby stuff, and fish.
One of my favorite armored cars is ready for service with my White Russians. The garford putilov is armed with a 75mm cannon and 3 maxim machine guns. This one is far from home and hasn't seen any service in a long time, but still it chugs onwards in the memory of the Tsar and the name of Imperial Russia! A sneak peek at my White Russian Force.
I've been working on all this in earnest since last August, terrain, lore, armies, everything organized for Fistful of Lead, and Beyond the Empire. Some day.. some day I'll have enough army men for Setting the East Ablaze. Anyways, an introduction.

She may be ours this week, theirs the next, the Bolsheviks the following, but by next month, she'll be ours again! 6 weeks at most.. Under Japanese Command, patrolling somewhere deep in the countryside. Being an armored rail cruiser, and not a traditional armored train, the Angry Dragon doesn't require a dedicated engine and tender. Instead two fiat diesel engines power the front and rear trucks, or was it rear and front trucks? Either way, the train is entirely se...
