Tommy the L-HAC marches to battle!  
March 8th, 2010

The second update for today! This one is from Khurasan miniatures, and it's been under way for a few weeks. It was big, and it was also tough to figure out the paint scheme... I know, I know, it's all gray, so how hard can that be to figure out? Well, it is, okay! Sheesh! It typically takes me a while to get to being able to get comfortable with a paint scheme... even a simple one sometimes. Overall though, I am pretty happy with the model itself and the paint job I ended up with! Check it out in the 15mm Sci-Fi gallery, which was recently renamed from the 15mm monster gallery.

So, I still have a crapload of different projects I want to get to... SCW, RCW, more High Elves, some 15mm Sicilians, 15mm Skythians... etc. etc. So much to do, so little time! And indeed, less time these days as I have been sleeping much more :) Yes, no more late nights at the painting table, so I expect my updates will be smaller in the near future... Still though, I have a desire to do some really cool terrain as well. Well, we'll see!

 
More High Elves!  
March 8th, 2010

I can't believe it's been three and a half months since I finished those High Elf spearmen! Well, now they're not so lonely, as I just finished another couple elements that have been sitting on my desk half painted for the whole time! A bolt thrower and an element of bows. Overall, I am still quite excited about this high elf project, so expect to see more of these in the near future! Check them out in the High Elves gallery.

 
Yet another adventurer!  
March 1st, 2010

Not too big this update, but something fun anyway! Thanks to a really busy schedule last week, I got basically nothing done... Except this one ninja adventurer type! Well, I guess it's not so much a ninja as an assassin. It was to be all dressed in black, but I added some extra highlights in there! Check it out in the D&D gallery.

What's next? Not sure... I am sorta poorly motivated at this point. Too many commissions lately! They always sap the initiative from me when I do too many projects that I don't choose for myself... But they do help me with the costs of the hobby :) Anyway, until next time!

 
15mm Terrain turn around!  
February 23rd, 2010

Yes, I am back to 15mm figures for a bit! I have a couple of miniature projects for the scale on the go at the moment, but I have recently finished up with some DBA terrain projects. I needed to generate some cash for the Website hosting fees (a hobby that pays for itself!) as well as fill out some camps for some of my armies, and so I present them here! Check out the DBA Terrain gallery for all the pictures. The commission was for another Polish castle and a Hebrew tent camp. I built a Kushan camp for myself as well as a camp for my L.A. Persians, which was long overdue!

As for the future, it's back to those 15mm miniature painting projects I mentioned last week! Also, I have some 28mm projects that I really want to get to, so stay tuned!

 
Adventurers galore!  
February 17th, 2010

A small but significant update this week! I am finally working away at my D&D character figs again! These always take so long for me to paint, as I am obsessed with them being perfect! None of this mass-production style that I use for my armies, everything has to be perfect from the colour scheme on down to the execution... Of course, they never are perfect, but I am pretty happy with them for the most part. Check out the mere five new characters in the D&D gallery for a view of the action!

Also I finally update the painted and unpainted sections of the site again. Check those out for the painting/purchasing details... Incidentally, keeping track of unpainted figs isn't all that hard once you've done the initial cataloguing! All you have to do is add in stuff that you receive and subtract out stuff that you paint! So, what's next? Some more 15mm types some time in the nearish future, including a very large sci-fi vehicle from one of my favourite manufacturers! Until next week!

 
More Swedish Vikings for the Longships!  
February 9th, 2010

I decided to finish up the remaining Vikings and Germans I had from Wargames Factory... Yes, that's it, I only had eight Vikings and six Germans... So, here are the remaining four Vikings, as well as three Germans easily converted with the Viking detail spru extras into berzerkers to fill the warband slot of the DBA army. Fun to paint, and now I am looking forward to getting a whole whak more of these to finish off the army! Check them out in the Swedish Vikings Gallery.

Next up are some D&D characters, so stay tuned for that next week! After that, likely some figs from Khurasan miniatures, including their snazzy new L-HAC figure and some of their new early Sicilians! Should be fun!.
