Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

WIP: Saga Kirk Douglas figure

Work on my Kirk Douglas figure from Gripping Beast (from the movie "The Vikings" from 1958) is coming along nicely. I had to stop as I was searching for some nice shield transfers and since I only needed two I didn't want to order a bunch from Little Big Men, so I arranged a trade with one of my Saga buddies. Working on the shields and I am thinking about the banner I want to make, so I am in no hurry to finish this until I have it right, but in meantime this is what I have done so far.

Not the greatest photo's as it's not done so I didn't bother getting out my photo shoot box. Hopefully I can come up with something for my standard idea soon and get this baby done.

Cheers
Kevin

    Thanks Aaron, he is a cool little figure. I have to figure out how I'm going to do a banner so I can finish him.

    Cheers
