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.

Punic Wars commission (A) for Saga game: Romans

This showing puts me about halfway through the commission (which I only do for friends). These guys will be fighting my Carthaginians soon, so I had to mix in a little voodoo magic into the paints I used so my opponent will have cursed dice;)

These are 28mm Gripping beast figures. Kind of hard to paint as these are older style sculpts and kind of scrunched up compared to todays minis. Nor are they as detailed as todays minis, but I still like them. 







As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

    Nicely done, older figures can be challenging, especially when you are painting to your level. With OG minis I am happy to give them the basic block-painting we did back in the 1980s
