Mushroom Cloud!

I've been working on making a nuclear explosion marker for the game table, out of expanding foam. I'll post some step by step instructions eventually, but it was pretty easy.

Still working on trying to get the colors just right...

The 40-Howitzer Defense in Ogre

OK, I may have gone a little overboard on artillery.....

Traveller Grav Tank

OK, It's not an Ogre miniature, but it is very cool...

Painting a Zuzzy mat for Ogre Miniatures play

I recently obtained a large (4' x 6') Zuzzy terrain mat, and have been painting it for some time now. This picture is what the mat looked like before I started painting it:

I brushed a wash of earth brown over the whole mat, next time I'll spray it with my airbrush...

Next I airbrushed a thin black wash over the whole mat, concentrating in the darker areas ...

Now for the fun part, I picked several colors to correspond to certain types of terrain on the mat, and painted all of them. It ended up looking very paint by numbers...

Now I airbrushed more light washes of black over the areas I wanted to be darker:

After letting the mat dry a few days, I started drybrushing the various areas to bring out the details, this is the final result:

Finally, a closeup of one of the volcanic-looking crater areas, I also picked out a few of the individual rocks in different colors to break things up a bit:

I love this mat! I can't wait to start playing games on it.
