This is the last miniature painted for 2020. So I wish you all a very merry Christmas in these special times and hope for a better new year for us all.

Same to you Tom!

Thanks!

What a great and consistent collection. Minis and decors with the same style: I like it.
I admired your productivity this year.
And merry Christmas too.

Lots of nice stuff since I was last here.

Tom

Thanks Tom!

First of all I hope you had wonderful holidays during these rather stressing time. I managed to finish another building for my Hue project over the holidays. It is a 3D print from the WOW Vietnam kickstarter. There are another 3 different shops in the kickstarter I have already printed but not yet painted up.

Here is another Full Metal Miniature civilian. A woman pushing a bike. A very nice figure especially the bike is very neatly done. A treat to paint.

It is a cool bike. Nice work.

Thanks FlyinSquirrel!

Now As I got a 3D printer last year and I acquired some STL files for smoke effects like missile exhaust , explosions etc from Deadly Print Studio I tried there smoke marker STL . I modified the file a bit to get different sizes of smoke . Then I printed them out based them in the usual way and added a little smoke grenade. Here are the results:

Very nice. Those will definitely do the trick!

Tom,
I have not commented on your work in a long time. The pics on TMP just do not do your figures and work justice. Love the building and your figs keep getting better and better. Hope you had a good holiday season and coming year.
best always
