Gebirgsjager Christmas

Well, it has been a while since a post here at SPS, but we have been slaving away on a few commissions. First I had a huge Warmachine/Hordes Legion army that I did. That was quickly followed by a Eldar army and now we are back to FoW.

Here are a few shots of the Gebirgsjager army that I am doing for a repeat customer. I really have to say I love painting 15mm now, and I enjoyed this project very much. So here are a few pictures for your viewing.

So there you go SPS fans, we have one more commission on the table and will hopefully have that done by Christmas, so stay tuned!

Back to 15mm FoW

Hey folks,

It has been a while since I got pictures up, we have been very busy here at SPS. In fact, I have done one commission and then straight into the next one, so taking pictures has not been high on the list. But tonight, I got the old camera out and got some shots of this commission.

First up a few LCVP landing craft from Battlefront,

Next up are a few US Airborne troops out of the new Open Fire Box

Mortar, Bazooka and Command Stands

Here we have the German plastics from the Open Fire Set with the rural bases.

Space Wolfs & Imperial Guard

Well,

Time for another update, this time some Space Wolves and Imperial Guard vehicles, first up the Valkyrie. The customer wanted a WW2 theme on the Valkyrie, so after going through a few WW2 aircraft books I have, I came up with this, was painted on a ME109 and it looks good on the Valkyrie

Nose art and kills.

Overall camo scheme.

Other side

The customer also gave me a Chimera to paint up, I went with a very basic scheme that seems to fit for Imperial Guard units attached to Space Wolves.

Pretty Basic

Next up comes the Space Wolves, the customer will be doing the bases, so here they are in all their Grey Glory.

There you go, next up some Chaos Deamons...

152's Paras and a German Infantry gun!

Well,

Things have been busy here at SPS, I knocked out another commission this week for another returning customer. So here is what he sent down:

FoW ISU 152's

Close Up of Russians

FoW Open Fire Plastic US Airborne

Close up of the Plastic Figures

Bolt Action Infantry Gun 28mm

So there you go, another commission down, and a few more to come.

A side note, I get folks asking when I have an opening they would like to know. Now, here is how I put commissions in order. Once you contact me and we figure out the details, your commission is in a holding status until funds are received. Once the funds have been received your commission goes into the paint Que and I work the commissions in order of when customers put their deposits down. So once your money is in, you are in the Que and will be next in line. Pending commissions are just that, pending until you have paid. So if you are ready to commission me, than get your funds in so I can get you in the schedule. Hope that helps, now back to painting.
