Hey gang! For my birthday (which was yesterday) I decided to release another building in the Tantrapur (Gunga Din) series. Get it while it's hot (at least the bottom may be warm straight off the build plate!). Thank you for your support of 4P Press and Models!

This group of photos are of two of the buildings for the village of Tantrapur, the village where Ballentine, McChesney, and Cutter first meet the Thugee cult in the 1939 classic, "Gunga Din". The larger building is the telegraph office and the smaller I'm using as a residence for the British officer

I thought that I would post a few pictures of the Tlingit warriors (from the US/Canadian Pacific Northwest coast). These appear as they would in the late 1700's when contact with Russian fur hunters first took place. These represent the upper class warriors.

It has been a while since I've posted anything, so I thought I'd drop a few photos on my latest grandiose project. This is the Legation Quarter of Peking for the Boxer Rebellion. The layout is based on a map by an American Engineer drawn right after the siege. The buildings are cardstock. Enjoy!

Hi all, I just wanted to take a little time and show off the newest models available from 4P Models on Wargame Vault. We have the Lloyd 40.08 and the Oeffag CII. We don't know if the Lloyd ever got off the ground, but the Oeffag performed workman's service on the Russian and Italian fronts. Thanks!

Now, everything is organized and visible, my paint jobs are better protected, and stuff is easy to find. Maybe because I'm on the far side of half a century old, I can find enjoyment in cutting up waste boxes.

Recently, an insurance company has been running an add that suggests breaking down cardboard is a chore and not fun. Well, I spent today breaking down some boxes and repurposing them to store my WW1 model airplanes and I'll tell you that it was a good time. I started with this:

Okay, these are the last photos, but by far it's not all of the models that 4P has or will have available to support all their rules. Note, these are sold as STL files for home printing on your 3D printer. Scaled at 1/2400, they print nicely up to 1/1200. Just takes a little math
