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.

Age of Alexander: Alexander himself!

 Another unit done for a friends Macedonians. Alexander, not painted like the later European artists often depicted Alexander with blond hair, likely due to cultural symbolism associating blondness with virtue and heroism, instead with reddish brown hair. Also I have forgone all that purple silliness and went with more natural colors for uniforms.






As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

    A fine looking stand of outstandingly painted figures! That touch of green really sets him off. The saddle blanket looks EXCELLENT!!

    WHAT? No purple! Blasphemy!
