A Bit of This, A Bit of That

 Lots of different bits and pieces tonight, including some terrain pieces - some of the latter brand new, others that were hanging around for a couple of years waiting for me to slap some paint on 'em!


First up, a couple of ladies to inhabit my Three Musketeers world - these are nice hard plastic prints from Sally 4th Miniatures.




This one may do duty as M'Lady de Winter ...... 




This "working girl" is also by Sally 4th but is a metal miniature.



Next up, a couple of new additions to my Pulp collection, above and below are by Pulp Alley - they come together as a set called "Red Queen & Jack Spade"


Also shown is some of the new 3D printed terrain I bought recently via a local producer in Christchurch.





The next three figures are old RAFM Call of Cthulhu Dilettante Investigators. A Fox Hunting Lady (above) 


The Lady of the Manor/Socialite




A Dangerous Prisoner!



The last few images are just to show off some more of the terrain pieces - I am particularly happy with the new tavern bar - again, 3d printed and all 5 parts for the grand total of NZ$12.50!


The beds below are some of the older stuff I have had lying around for a while - they were bought at the height of the Border Reiver Pele Tower building phase 2-3 years ago - but have only been painted up within the last few weeks.


Thats it for tonight - hope you have enjoyed the show (and tell!) or, my Peanut Butter and Jelly post!

  2. An interesting mix Keith...that's a few barrels of 10 year old Cognac being guarded by the femme fatale in the red dress.

    1. Thanks Mark - probably on the way to sustain a French army, somewhere!

  3. Wow excellent work, Keith! They all look fantastic. I dont have enough "civilian types" in my collection. The only non combatants are farm animals.

    1. Be very careful Steve....you can get pulled down a rabbit hole...I now probably have far too many "civvies" in my collection....and no signs of abating! 😀

  8. great PB&J. lots of cool stuff. That terrain is really gonna be great in up coming games, I do feel like a Musketeer game should have guys leaping over bars and chairs and swinging from rafters. 😁

  10. Lovely work Keith. You must have quite a collection of ladies by now, enough to interest any future archaeologist in a couple of thousand years' time. They may even be able to get a PhD out of it.

    1. Lol....yes, I should put it my will, that I want them to be added to my grave to accompany me to the afterworld!!

    1. Which one would that be, JBM.....[
      one of the first two.....or the Pulp Red Queen?!

  13. Great work Keith! I wouldn't want to get hit over the head with any of the bar chairs! +2 damage for those ones I think.

    I imagine the figures in the 3 musketeers game having to roll to save when passing within 6" of one of those young ladies. If they fail then they go missing for the rest of the game. 😁

    1. Thanks Ben, they were nice figures to paint up.
      I have tried some Pulp games where the Femme Fatale has "seductive " powers or similar eg no one can attack her first, but it's quite hard to get that kind of flavour into a set of rules.....fun trying though!

  14. Excellent female figures and terrain, looking forward to more three musketeers with your new Lady d winter!
    Best Iain

  15. Great looking group of ladies, Keith. The first figure reminded me a lot of the 54mm miniatures in the old Color Treasury of Model Soldiers book I had (and still have) as a kid.

    1. Thanks Dean! I had a similar book, which had Historex (or some similar 54mm producer) figures including a diorama of 18th century officers and ladles, so I can picture what you are describing I think!

  16. An entertaining mix of new toys Keith…
    No doubt these young ladies will all get up to some kind of trouble in future games….
    Well I hope they will 🤣

    All the best. Aly

    1. I would like to think I can get them involved in some gaming mayhem, Aly!

  17. That working girl is very appropriately a metal mini: she certainly looks a hard woman!

    1. She probably has a sharp stilleto (of the knife, not shoe, variety) about her person, Ed!
