Hi guys. I have to announce you that I will not post anymore in this blog. I am moving to a new one. I have been having some problems with it and it has gathered with my intention of creating a new style and open my painting fields, so a blog called "Painting Flames of War" probably is not the best place.
In the new blog I will continue posting my Flames of War commision works with other Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807964659824033753.post-69691220925940510552013-10-18T16:16:00.000+02:002013-10-18T16:16:13.770+02:00How to make dragon teeth?This is a mini tutorial to make, easily, dragon teeth that will be very cool in our engineers platoons.
Dragon teeth were used in some german fortification lines during WWII, from 1944 to 1945 the german army was retreating, and built some defensive lines in Italy, western and eastern fronts. Dragon teeth were antitank obstacles built with concrete. The shape and size depended of the mould used Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807964659824033753.post-4673056509949523502013-10-14T11:44:00.001+02:002013-10-14T11:44:57.656+02:00British infantry platoonsIn the last days I had a lot of college work, but I was working in two british platoons that I had started before.

Some of the nations in Flames of War have medium bases with 5 soldiers, but I really prefer to put only 4 soldiers. When I place 4 miniatures the bases are not so packed and I have more space to add some terrain. But even when I dont add special terrain, I dont like when the bases are more packed than the metro of Tokyo hahaha So, IUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807964659824033753.post-91630347557652464392013-09-28T03:27:00.002+02:002013-09-28T03:27:55.513+02:00Red Devils AT & light artillerySome months ago I painted and sold some Red Devils platoons.

The figurines made by Corvus Belli are a small 15 mm miniatures. They can not be mixed with the huge Xyston miniatures.
I like Corvus' romans, they are made with a very clean metal, they have no burrs, and are easy to paint. I really like the Roman range.
I used the typical red color for the regular roman legionaries Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807964659824033753.post-32455952670083498002013-04-14T23:03:00.000+02:002013-04-14T23:03:03.151+02:00Macedonian phalanxThree years ago I bought some blisters of Warmodelling macedonian hoplites to build a big phalanx. A few weeks ago I decided to retake the project in order to finish four "big flames of war bases" of pahalangites. By now I finished 3 full bases. I hope to finish the forth one soon.

The family is growing. I painted some dromedaries more. The quality of the photo is quite poor, so its difficult to appreciate the tonal differences between dromedaries.
I have to paint 8 animals more. After it I will upload higher quality photos.
