Cosmic Frogs

Spent the last two evenings painting a set of Cosmic Frog game figures in a synthwave/vaporwave style. It was my first attempt at something like this, and I must say, the results turned out quite intriguing! 

Drakenborg Castle // Makieta Zamku

 

 

Last year I finished this very time-consuming project. You could follow its construction in a series of posts in which I described how I to build several different parts of the castle. You can find the links below. In the meantime I invite you take a look a the finished keep.

 
W zeszłym roku po kilku latach udało się zakończyć ten bardzo czasochłonny projekt. Jego budowę mogliście śledzić w serii postów, w których opisywałem budowę zamku. Linki możecie znaleźć poniżej a tymczasem zapraszam do oglądania i komentowania.

Treasure Markers - something to fight for! // Znaczniki celów bitewnych

Battle/Target markers for miniature wargaming. They will be used mostly in Dragon Rampant and Advanced Song of Blade and Heroes. Coblestone bases were made by me and bits were produced by various miniature manufactures. As long as I remember these were Ristul's Extraordinary Market, Fireforge Games, minimonsters.eu, Games Workshop and  Perry Miniatures.

Znaczniki celów stworzone do wykorzystania w kilku grach. Myślę że dobrze sprawdzą się w czasie potyczek w Dragon Rampant, Advanced Song of Blade and Heroes oraz okazjonalnie do gier planszowych i D&D. Podstawki zrobiłem sam natomiast bitsy pochodzą od kilku różnych producentów: Ristul's Extraordinary Market, Fireforge Games, minimonsters.eu, Games Workshop oraz Perry Miniatures.

 

Photos of the Cementry - 50% done // Zdjęcia z budowy i malowanie cmenatrzyska

After two long evenings I have completed about 50% of the scenery. I had a few extra bits so I decided to create several additions to the original GW design.  Right now I have to finish the painting and add some details to the bases. I am aiming to finish all the pieces next week. Have a look at my progress so far.
 

Dwa wieczory i cmentarzysko jest skończone już w 50 procentach. Miałem trochę dodatkowych bitsów więc postanowiłem dodać trochę elementów w podobnym klimacie do tych wyprodukowanych przez GW. Pozostało tylko malowanie i wykończenie podstawek. Na poniższych zdjęciach możecie spojrzeć na postęp moich prac nad tą wyjątkowo udaną scenerią od naszego ulubionego dostawcy zabawek. Całą zabawę mam nadzieję ukończyć w przyszłym tygodniu.

New flags // Nowe proporce w skali 28 mm

Hi

Today I share with you another set of flags ready to be printed for 28mm scale miniatures. Simply download the file from this location and print it on a standard sheet of A4 paper. 

  

Among them you can find two teutonic banners, two polish coat of arms (Eagle -  City of Peremyshl coat of arms, Lion - Lviv coat of arms) and one flag from Witcher universe. All of them will be used in my current projects. Original designs were found in the web . The first flag is rescaled banner from http://michasfiguren.blogspot.com/

Unboxing the Garden of Morr \\ Rzut okiem na cmentarzysko od GW

Despite the fact that  I have problems with finding time for the hobby I purchased some new toys:)  This time it was Garden of Morr from Games Workshop. At that price from GW,  I have to say this set is a pretty good value. It has 4 easy to build structures and a decent amount of wall pieces.  You can either create a single graveyard or use them separately on you gaming table.  Have a look at the the photos I took just after I had finished unboxing this marvelous set.

Brak czasu na hobby powoduje, że nie mogę zakończyć moich rozgrzebanych projektów makietowych.  Pisząc te słowa myślę oczywiście o zamku, który zacząłem modelować na początku tego roku. W międzyczasie jak to ja, połasiłem się na zakup nowej zabawki - w tym wypadku zestawu od Games Workshop, który widzicie na tych zdjęciach. Muszę przyznać, że to chyba najbardziej opłacalne pudełko od tego producenta, który generalnie nie należy do najtańszych:) W zestawie znajdziecie  3 grobowce, pomnik, bramę i naprawdę długi mur, który wystarcza by otoczyć nim pozostałe budynki.

Several new flags // Nowe flagi

Today I share with you some of the flags which were made by my talented sister for me. Simply print them on a standard sheet of A4 paper to get flag suitable for 28mm scale. The first flag which presents the Swan - a polish coat of arms used by Peter Dunin – supreme commander of Polish Army during the time of Thirteen Years' War between Kingdom of Poland and Teutonic Order.  Here you can read more about that interesting conflict which took place in exactly the same time as War of the Roses 

I think that second and third flag do not need an introduction - Two versions of Great Banner of Cracow – main battle standard of Polish Army in Late Middle Ages.

Here you can DOWNLOAD the flags in proper and ready to be printed format .

Unboxing a new camera // Nowy aparat - nowe możliwości!

It took a while but I finally bought a new camera . Now I will be able to post new photos and my finished works more often . Until now, I had to rely on the old Fuji FinePix S5500, which was partly damaged and therefore inconvenient to use and the quality of the pictures were rather low. A small amount of pictures on the blog was caused mainly because I had to borrow cameras from my friends and family and as you probably know there is not always the time and desire to do this. Since last week I have  Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60. Despite the fact that this is a compact camera it still takes  good photos .

For a start  I post some pics of the equipment. I hope it will fulfil all the expectations that I have for it.
