New Watercolors in Progress

I've been working on these for a few days.  Just doing a little here and there when I get time.  One of the things I love about doing the watercolors is that I can draw and paint in any room of the house.  And even if we go away, like this past weekend, I can take my stuff with me.

Rivet Wars Issue #1

I thought this might make for some good Monday morning reading.  The first issue of Rivet Wars the comic!  Hope you all like it.

Stug Progress

Did some more work on the Blighter Stug last night.  Thought I'd take a break and do a quick post.  I am starting to love the leg detail with the rivets and springs.  Let me know what you think.

The Blighter Quad Stug Aus F is powered by a Maybach HL120TRM with a 6 speed gearbox. It can reach speeds up to 40 km/h with a range of 140 km. It is armed with one 7.5 cm StuK40 main cannon. The Stug serves in an anti- tank role in support of front line units. The Quad leg configuration allow for all terrain deployment although maintenance requirements on the Porsche suspension have been higher than anticipated.

Rivet Trench Raider

Here is an idea I had for a cool Blighter unit.  It's a Trench Raider.  A sort of crazy unit that under the cover of darkness will sneak over to the allied trenches and then just start throwing grenades around, causing havoc with only a pistol to defend himself.  Not many of these guys ever returned from their missions.

The reference is a cool Verlinden figure from the 2002 catalog.

Rivet Wars on Toybreak 182!

Wow!  George and Ayleen discuss the Rivet Wars project at around 50:00 of Toybreak episode 182.  Plus Luke Chueh is on the show!  It is so cool to see the crew looking at the Rivet art on their show.  It is Toybreak that motivated me to go forward with this project so in a really cool way it feels like things have come full circle.  Thanks so much guys for featuring Rivet Wars.

Allied Grunt Figure Now in the Store!

I'm pleased to announce that the allied grunt figure is now up for sale in the store.  Each piece is only $15 and comes bagged with a vert tank stats card.  I hope you guys like how they came out.  Thanks! 

New Printed Cards for Toys

I finally got the order for my printed cards to go in the toy bags.  No more laser printed cards.  This does mean no sketch on the back but these are laminated with trimmed edges.  They feel...professional :)  For me these are reminiscent of the cards that came with GiJoe or Transformers toys.  On those you had to cut the card out from the box but here they're all trimmed for you.  Hope you all like them.
