Painting some miniatures for Pulp Alley

Well after getting packed for our flight tomorrow, I took some time to paint up these two 28mm figures for Pulp Alley.  I have a number of different 28's for Pulp games but I wanted to try something new. So here is my Black and White movie effect paint job. I have seen other people use this technique and I have wanted to try it out so I did.

   I am very happy with how they came out! I will have to use this technique on the other unpainted 28's I have for pulp games.

The figures are from Pulp Figures Miniatures.  I love the detail on these figures.

I will paint up some more figures and then post them here, once I play my next game of Pulp Alley I hope to have enough of the Black and White minitures ready to use in a game.

On the horizon I will be doing some 28mm F&I Miniatures as well as some of the good looking Hinterland Miniatures. I made this image below from the Hinterland website. These are a few of the miniatures that I ordered and they arrived yesterday. They are very well made miniatures with no cleaning up to do. I was able to take them from the small zip lock bags and glue them to the milk carton caps so they can be primed when I am back from Turkey.

Have a good week! Until next time!

My first Pulp alley game!

 Hi all!!!
Well last night I had a great time playing my first game of Pulp Alley! It was a great time.  We had a total of seven people at the game. Jespers ran the game so we had a total of 5 teams, one team had two players.

I was the new guy and I did not do all that well in achieving the goals of the game but it was a great way to learn how these rules work.

 Here is a picture of my "League" as the team is called. The leader is Tin and the co-leader is Big Red.

 The major objective was to open a treasure that required one team to succeed on three separate challenges over three turns. It was not easy, even for the Indiana Jones looking guy in the middle of this picture.

 One of the other "Leagues" these guys were evil and I had a few run ins with then as the game went on.

 The defending team is set up to try and hold the treasure from being taken from the other teams.

 My League on the move!

 Things start heating up and the different teams start to encircle the defending team.

 As you can see at the bottom of this picture I lost two members of my team early on. We had a run in with the German team and they had a female Nurse that was really good with a Thompson SMG.

 The evil hooded team gets one of the minor objectives.

I start to get my team moving closer to the main objective. The pilot was bringing up the rear, Big Red has the sword. Leading the way is Tin, She looks like a Christmas shopper from the USA, including the gun...

 The invisible man is lagging behind my group as he was hit earlier from gunfire but was successful in his health check.

 Here is a shot of the defending team and the aggressive Norwegian team. It is not in this picture but there was a fight between the Norwegian teams dog and one of the defending teams members. The dog became the hero of the game and everyone was rooting for him.

 Here is the German team, with the Thompson SMG toting Nurse in the foreground. They have with them one of the minor objectives. The objective marker is a brain in a jar. The Germans did well in the game.

 Another view of the action. There were many individual combats taking place as everyone was fighting each other. There was a lot of good laughs and rooting for different characters in the game.

A game would not be complete without the dice, event cards, and tape measures.

I was finally able to get a good picture of the dog. This guy was doing a lot of damage to the defending team and anyone else who got in his way! He even had his own camera crew filming his adventure.

Here is a picture of my team at the end of the game. I was trying to capture one of the minor objects from the evil hooded team. The game ended as a tie as the major objective was not opened and each team, except my team had one of the minor objectives.

The game was very fun and as I get use to the rules I think the game will move faster and I can develop my team better than I did this time.

Until next time!!!

Painting update

Well I hope everyone is having a good Saturday! I have been painting a little each day to get ready for the upcoming pulp game at the club.  Well I have been able to finish all the figures that I plan to use for the game. If you look at my previous post you will see that I have now finished the two half painted villains and completed a young woman with a handgun.  She is painted in the spirit of Christmas as you will see.

Enjoy the pictures of the finished pulp figures.
I will have pictures of some airplanes later today or tomorrow.

Here is the finished group of figures for the game.

 A view of two of the figures that I had started on over two years ago. The young lady in red was started this week and I am applying a new painting technique for her and future miniatures.

 The lady in Red reminds me of Christmas shopping and how dangerous it can be to shop in the U.S. around the holidays...lol!!!!

 The back side of the group!

A close of of the newly painted figures. The lady in Red is a cobblestone figure while the majority of the others are Pulp Figure miniatures. There is one figure, the guy in the blue hat that is from Foundry Miniatures line of Old West figures.

Happy gaming!!!

28 mm Pulp Figures

Hi everyone!
I am getting ready to play a game of Pulp Alley next week and I went though my collection of painted and almost painted figures to find a force of 6 figures to use in the game next week.  I will post some pictures of the miniatures I think I will use. Once they are all painted up and the bases are done I will post how they finished product looks.  I will also post some pictures from the game next week.

Most of the miniatures are from the Pulp Figures ranges of Miniatures. Please check out the link for some of the great products. One of the finished figures, the guy with the lever action rifle in brown is a Foundry figure from there old west range.

 Here is a view of the front of the finished figures. Yes I will add some grass to the bases for the two figures without the grass.

Here is a view of the back and below is a side view. 

 This picture was taken a long time ago and I forgot to get him out for the photo shot today, He is a pilot.

 These two were painted white and then I used two different washes on these a number of years ago to see what washes can do. I will use these two and add some paint, but not much. I am thinking of painting some of the other miniatures I have in the Gray scale style. I will have to research how it is done but it would give a look of a silent film to my figures. We will see.

 I also have a young girl dressed for the 1920's with a pistol that I will paint up for the game, I think she will be the woman in red!!!

I also finished my 8 ME-109-F2's that I have been working on. I will get some pictures of them and some of the Russian aircraft I just go in the mail today.

More pictures soon!
Stay posted.
