Terrain building inspiration

Posted by Phil on July 31, 2009

Joe came into the office today with a little surprise for me – some adobe buildings in 15mm scale, made out of balsa wood and intended for some wargaming further down the line. Now, Joe is a bit of a legend when it comes to making terrain – I've got some cool hillbilly shacks (now with added outhouse) that he put together for one of our projects that only partially got off the ground before we (I) were (was) sidetracked by other shiny things, and a load of English Civil War-y barns and farm buildings in various stages of ruin. Recently, he's taken to moulding and casting his own flagstones, walls and the like in plaster, resulting in some exceptionally chunky Medieval structures.

Wear Your Favorite Osprey Book!

Posted by Kerry on May 25, 2009

Last weekend I had the honor of going to the Museum Store Association trade show in Phoenix, and while my New York colleagues were stuck in a torrential downpour all week, I was off enjoying a variety of museum display items in sunny, 95-degree Arizona. I was particularly excited to meet the reps from Legacy of Valor, who have licensed loads of Osprey artwork to be printed on t-shirts, long sleeve shirts and hoodies (or jumpers, as I think you call them in the UK).

My top ten war films that should be remade

Posted by Mike on May 06, 2009

Hollywood is all about rebooting characters at the minute. Batman got a reboot. Then the reboot got a sequel which became one of the most successful films of all time. Bond has been rebooted - the humour and gadgets are gone and replaced by gritty punchy seat of your pants action. Which went on to spawn another film. Star Trek has been rebooted, even Wolverine has been rebooted in a way.

Check out the new Osprey-inspired figures from W Britain!

Posted by John on April 30, 2009

I recently received an email from my friends at W. Britain announcing the release of 2 new sets of figures based on Osprey artwork. There is a new set of figures modeled after Angus McBride’s Zulu War artwork and a set of WWII paratroopers from Ron Volstad’s World War II collection. The three WWII one-piece sets are focused on D-Day: a) U.S. Army Airborne Corporal, 327th Glider Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division; b) US Army Airborne 1st Lt. 376th Parachute Field Artillery Btn, 82nd Airborne; and c) German Military Police Unit, NCO Feldgenearmerie, Falschirmtruppen
