Perry Miniatures English Army Bowmen #1 // Łucznicy z Drakenborgu #1

After long time without posting anything new we've finally managed to borrow a camera from a friend. Our settings and lights are not great this time but you can see some details on these photos. Miniatures painted especially for Lions Rampant but we also use them in Song of Blade and Heroes.

Po długiej przerwie wrzucamy pierwszą część łuczników od Perry Miniatures. Niestety tym razem zdjęcia zrobione przy odrobinie za dużym oświetleniu.

Unboxing Perry Miniatures Plastic Kits // Nowe figurki od braci Perrych

Hi.

This time the post is written mostly in Polish as it is presenting well known models manufactured by Perry Miniatures. There are a lot of English reviews of these miniatures in the net although I have not found anything worth to mention in my native language. Encourage by the superb quality of Foot Men-at-Arms models that we posses I have recently bought next 3 boxes of Perry's Plastic Kits. ;) We have already primed almost 30 models and painted some of them. I will soon post our ready models here. Meanwhile if you interested in the content of the boxes just have a look at the following photos. :)

 

Cześć.

W zeszłym miesiącu odebraliśmy paczkę zawierającą nowe modele, które postaramy się pomalować w przeciągu następnych kilku miesięcy. Pisząc te słowa, mamy ukończonych już 12 łuczników oraz 4 jeźdźców, ale nie znaleźliśmy jeszcze czasu by ich sfotografować. :)  
Wszystkie modele wyprodukowane zostały z plastiku przez Perry Miniatures. Figurki nie mają sobie równych jeżeli chodzi o jakość, a także cenę. Każdy z tych zestawów można nabyć za 16 do 18 funtów, jeżeli sprowadzamy je z Wielkiej Brytanii lub za ok. 105-110 zł w wybranych polskich sklepach modelarskich. Niestety w Polsce często zdarzają się problemy z dostępnością, dlatego wybraliśmy opcję brytyjską. Zapraszamy do krótkiego rzutu okiem na zawartość pudełek wraz z naszym opisem.

Hi! Today we want to show you our prizes we won in contest announced by the creator of DwarvenWorkshop blog. Yeey. :D

Dziś się pochwalimy naszymi nagrodami, które zdobyliśmy w konkursie Grungnara Gundrikson’a. :)

The Hill // Wzgórze

The hill project was prepared for a terrain contest in less than 5 days. It was done simultaneously with the cave presented in the last post. If you like you can check following posts describing the process of building the cave and the hill:

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

The Cave // Jaskinia

Today we want to show you our new cave. It was made as an entry for the terrain competition announced by the creator of Dwarven Workshop blog. That guy makes beautiful and climatic sculptures using wood and puty. Find some time to look at his works. Hope you will like the cave :)

Cave and hill - Day 4 // Jaskinia i wzgórze - Dzień 4

Day 4 - first day of the delay but who cares. Today I could dedicate only very small amount of time to the hobby. A little drybrush was used here and there, some greens were applied and finally I added more browns to the bases of both models. At last the package with foliage has arrived but I need to postpone all works till Monday so see you all after the weekend.

Cave and hill - Day 3 // Jaskinia i wzgórze - Dzień 3

Day 3. Everything was glued and I could start painting both elements. This time with support from my girlfriend so the process was smooth and successful. We tried to achieve a natural looking rock. The models were primed with white and then very diluted browns were applied using sponge and brushes. Next step will be drybrush.

Cave and hill - Day 2 // Jaskinia i wzgórze - Dzień 2

Second day of work has brought really good results. I added more cork and filled all  crevices with plaster. Everything was covered with stones and sand using old but good as always PVA glue. The elements are starting to look like the real rocks. Pretty satisfied with the outcome so far.

Hi All,

a lot of time has passed since I posted something new here. Was very busy spending my long annual leave on doing nothing. Some time ago I made a resolution to take photos of all models which were finished last months. I hoped I would share some of them after my return this week but as always the plans have changed. I have only 3 days before leaving once again and the collegue of mine announced a small competition which I decided to take part in.

Anniversary Post and current projects!

One year ago on the 16th of April 2014 we started our blog PinAtWar. We haven't supposed that we will manage to keep posting and working on our blog for so long. There are still some projects that we are finishing in our workshop and few new ideas still waiting to happen. Your comments, likes and shares encourage us to continuing - writing, making photos and finishing old projects. :)
Thanks for motivation!

Week with WIP #2: cottage and orchard

Hi. This should be the second entry showing what do we had at our workbench last week. Unfortunately we hadn't had enough time to prepare and share it so we post this content several days later.

Witamy w drugiej części naszego tygodnia z niedokończonymi projektami - tym razem trochę krótszej niż poprzednia. :D Zamierzaliśmy pokazać Wam to w zeszłym tygodniu, ale niestety nie było kiedy "przelać myśli na papier".

Water well // Studnia

 

We finally managed to finish the water well that we had started painting last year. This model was made by http://minimonsters.eu. Enjoy. :)

Week with WIP #1 Drakenborg Knights brainstorm

This is the first entry showing what do we have at our workbench this week. Right now we are expanding our Knights of Drakenborg warband for Song of Blade and Heroes. For this project we are using Teutonic Infantry from Italian company Fireforge Games. These are high quality and quite cheap models in 28 mm.  As for now 15 models out of 24 are ready but only a few of them were presented on our blog in those entries Knights od Knights of Drakenborg #1 and Knights of Drakenborg #2. Most of the knights have unique coat of arms but some of them are in colors of  their liege Count Willem of Drakenborg. We are not sure if the painting scheme we have chosen for Drakenborgians is suitable...

How to make & paint a blue roof - step by step// Jak wykonać i pomalować gontowy dach - krok po kroku

This tutorial was made to show you how we usually make blue roofs for our miniature projects. Photos were taken while we were making several buildings for our Song of Blades and Heroes gameboard. 

Dzisiaj chcemy Wam pokazać, jak robimy nasze niebieskie dachy. ;)

Tutorial powstał w trakcie tworzenia dwóch domków do naszej makiety. Razem z kuźnią i karczmą będą tworzyć małe miasteczko. Chociaż podejrzewamy, że z czasem liczba domostw będzie wzrastać...
