"Shoot it in the head!!"


I'm starting to update the individual sections of The Bing web pages, starting with the Stairwell page. While editing pics I made a couple of quick Photoshop web comics using some of the pics and had way too much fun; time to get back to writing fiction again!!

The Bing


"The Bing" was created on commission by Nikolai Ruskin in June, 2009 as a terrain piece for miniatures gaming
http://nikolairuskin.com/miniatures_pages/the_bing.htm

The design is an interior for use in a "bar brawl" type miniatures game using 28mm scale miniatures. The Real "Bada Bing" is a strip bar from the popular HBO series "The Sopranos", and became a big source of inspiration for this project about half way through building it. What began as a run down bar / pub suddenly evolved in to a Jersey strip joint while I was tinkering around with the layout for the stage. There is a staff only area for the dancers and an office for the mobsters that will be pictured here soon- check back again shortly.


MORE PICS of "The Bing" COMING SOON; Check back again

Cargo Bay

http://nikolairuskin.com/miniatures_pages/cargo_bay.htm
Cargo Bay page added. This is part of a set of sci fi pieces done on commission, assembled from kits by Pegasus Hobbies. These kits are incredibly tedious and time consuming to build, but pretty flexible and look nice when finished. They would also be great for kit bashing (looting the kit for parts to use in scratch built terrain).
More of the sci fi set coming soon!
