Malayan architecture (26th Mar 2012)
All wargames-related activity have ironically been suspended ever since my moving to the Holy Land of wargaming; that being said, this blog still warrants a long-overdue update. So here are a bunch of pictures I took last year in various museums … ... Read More
WWII Thais (3rd Aug 2011)
Most histories of WWII treat Thailand as being just another part of the Japanese empire, notable for its immediate surrender to the Japanese and for making up one half of the infamous Death Railway. But this wasn’t the case. The … Continue rea ... Read More
Indians this time (28th Jul 2011)
The SHQ range of early war Commonwealth troops features some excellent poses and is comparable in quality to their Dutch, Polish and Cossack figures (I should point out that their recent French, Belgian and Italian releases are, in my humblest … Con ... Read More
even more Japanese (24th Jul 2011)
Actually finished these last week, but a trip up north precluded their being photographed. ... Read More
More dipped Japanese (3rd Jul 2011)
Against my better judgement I am fast becoming a convert to the Army Painter way of life painting – why spend half an hour working on one single figure when you can do twenty? At this rate I should have … Continue reading → ... Read More
Ayutthaya Historical Study Centre (13th Jun 2011)
A small but spectacular museum dedicated to the Siamese capital’s 17th Century heyday. Hopefully these amazing dioramas will inspire a few gamers to put in a little more effort on the accuracy front (no giant Buddhas plopped in the middle … Co ... Read More
Speed painted Japanese (8th Jun 2011)
In my haste to complete another battalion the figures were given the Army Painter treatment. Really chuffed with the way they turned out… until I saw the amount of frosting on them. Can’t be bothered to fix them however, as … Continue re ... Read More
quick post (8th Jun 2011)
These two were actually completed in March. For the officer’s uniform I used VMC US Olive Drab as the shadow colour; this was followed by successive layers of VPA Canvas and VPA US Army Tank Crew. Don’t know whether it’s … Continue ... Read More
Yang Dang Khum and Phum Preav (2nd Jun 2011)
In anticipation of Elhiem’s upcoming Thai range I’ve decided to upload a Rapid Fire! scenario I’d written for Journal 57 of the Society of Twentieth Century Wargamers. Phibun, flanked by Admiral Luang Yuthasartkoson and Colonel Luang Saw ... Read More
National Memorial, Pathum Thani (1st Jun 2011)
Located on the northern outskirts of Bangkok past the city’s domestic airport, the poorly named National Memorial is a museum dedicated to the highlights of Thai military history. Like just about every other military museum in the country it’s ... Read More
on the workbench (11th Mar 2011)
Like some other folks at the Guild I’ve been suffering from a severe bout of painter’s block. Thankfully the arrival of a packet of goodies from Grubby Tanks earlier this morning has managed to spur me into picking up a … Continue readin ... Read More
Siamese Army Uniforms 1868-1921 (5th Feb 2011)
In 1921 a remarkable little book was published by the Siamese ministry of defence. Titled The Chronicle of the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment (ตำนานกรมทหารราบที่ ๑ มหาดเล็กรักษาพระอ ... Read More
recent bits (1st Jan 2011)
I don’t think I’ve ever been busier than I was in December, and all that I’ve been able to complete for the entire month are these: The vehicles were cast and assembled by the very talented David Reasoner of Moonlite … Continue rea ... Read More
dipped Foreign Legion (15th Nov 2010)
What little enthusiasm I had for these figures was destroyed while preparing and painting them, a process I found tedious and frequently infuriating. Why? Where to begin? First, there was far more flash than I had initially realised, some of … Conti ... Read More
Burmese Test Figure (14th Nov 2010)
I’ve been a long-time admirer of Paul Hicks’ terrific sculpting, but have always put off buying his figures because of my aversion to painting anything larger than 20mm. Until now. When I read that Pontoonier Miniatures offers a Third Burma &# ... Read More
Winter Chinese (1st Nov 2010)
When Stonewall first brought out their Chinese I thought “I have to get these!” even if it meant buying them sight unseen. Sadly the figures turned out to be quite horrible, with some looking like overfed hunchbacks armed with oversized … ... Read More
Thai Army Uniforms of WWII (31st Oct 2010)
An article I had written many moons ago for my now defunct Thailand and the Second World War site. As I’m making headway with my book I’ve decided not to resurrect it. Some select content will reappear here on this … Continue reading ... Read More
Elhiem ARVN (30th Oct 2010)
Speed painted these earlier today. I think Matt’s done a wonderful job of portraying the tight-fitting uniforms. The sculpting is a far cry from his earlier efforts, and while he has yet to get the helmets right, the poses are … Continue rea ... Read More
and now for something completely different (25th Oct 2010)
He was anxious for the health of his wife and their unborn child. More than a few of the old courtiers had already advised him to flee to the villages of his ancestors. Others told him to give in. But … Continue reading → ... Read More
Royal Thai Army Museum (27th Sep 2010)
This little-known museum is housed within the grounds of the RTA Headquarters, in a grand old 19th Century building that for many years served as the Chulachomklao Military Academy, that venerable institution responsible for graduating the kingdom’s ... Read More
Britannia Japanese Infantry (6th Sep 2010)
These were done long ago for the Britannia-sponsored build over at the Guild. I’ve got about another forty of them to complete, including a couple of guns. People either love or hate Britannia – personally, I think they’re fantastic. W ... Read More
