I can't believe I have kept at this for a month and a half, at least two blog posts a week. I know this is still morning in my time zone, but I am keeping the title. Here is the sixth installment of Wednesday Night Musings: link Please let me know what you think! |

Great stuff! For VSF you could say the Samurais class won-put 19th C. weapons on 16th C. figures. That would worry any adversary! Nice Bugs!! |

The kneeling Ashigaru will be my Maxim crews, and I have British rifle arms for my Samurai already :-) |

I'd give them Tripods instead of Steam tanks-seems more elegant. Don't forget foreign advisors, cavalry with pack howitzers and Gatling guns and the airship Rodan!!! |

Gatling guns will be on the way soon… my "steam tank" is a Renault FT arriving 30 years early, the airship Rodan will need to be statted! |

I am instead using 16th century Samurai and Ashigaru plastics from Wargames Factory… I was thinking the same, maybe using a few on the Crucible Dwarf/Gnome steam flyers I got from old Ral Partha production (last I looked, still at RPE). I just think I need to do something with the heads, if not an outright swap. Even the simplest conversions are usually beyond me, so no breath holding, please! …airship Rodan… Do you have an airship Rodan? Have you seen this from Fat Dragon on Wargamevault? linkDoug |

This is the Rodan I was thinking of: link I have been happily assembling Ashigaru and Samurai for two nights now, everything is working out exactly as I expected. Except I discovered a bonus when I went scrounging for rifles amongst my 1/48 Russians: two Maxim machine guns ready for assembly. I have everything I need now except air support :-) |

I'm aware of the kaiju monster. ;->= I just was asking how you intend to model it. Doug |
Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut | 26 Dec 2015 10:25 a.m. PST |
If (and that is a big if) I can talk the guys into statting up the Kaiju Rodan as air support, I will buy a plastic toy off ebay and paint it up pretty. Otherwise, I will build the DeHavilland DH-2 or similar from cardstock using the printable templates at Fiddler's Green. |

Ah, I guess I've not seen anything close to suitable for a flyer. We SO will want pictures; do you need me to send some of 'da boys' to have words with 'the guys', a little gentle persuasion? Doug |
