    Inaugural Combat

    October 8, 2016 / 1 Comment

    Following an unplanned hiatus, I have every intention of resuming semi-regular posting to this blog. Part of my time away was spent on some 1:1 terrain building. Inspired by Eric the Shed, specifically expansion of his eponymous structure, I endeavored…

    Buildings from the Big City

    April 3, 2015 / 1 Comment

    Here are some shots of the first three, very-nearly-done, buildings for my 25/28/32mm figures. (Note that the spread for the miniature size is due to the fact that I didn’t realize that the Reaper Bones figures would be so tall.…

    Paint Table Annex

    April 1, 2015 / No Comments

    One of the great joys of my day is chatting with my wife as she prepares dinner. Cooking is her hobby, as miniatures (and guitar and carpentry and farming and sailing … oh, well, perhaps I have too many hobbies)…

    A Town in Two Scales

    March 23, 2015 / 1 Comment

    Should you have examined my brain a couple of weeks ago, it would have seemed evident that the “28mm” synapses were firing perfectly. A smattering of the many, many Reaper Bones I now own were being painted, and I was…

    Paint Table Saturday + 48

    March 23, 2015 / No Comments

    Following the blizzard of productivity which coincided with February’s blizzards (well, o.k., they weren’t really blizzards, but a half-foot of snow is a lot for North Carolina), things have been slow, hobby-wise, for the past month. I did finally manage…

    Jumping the Queue

    February 28, 2015 / No Comments

    Paint Table Saturday features flagrant queue jumpers. Looking back yesterday at A) the Major General’s page and 2) my aged stage-set mountains, rendered me nostalgic for VSF and afflicted with remorse for my long-suffering 15mm figures. As things stand, I…

    Paint Table Saturday + 24

    January 11, 2015 / 1 Comment

    Here’s the paint table as of yesterday. A frenetic hodgepodge mirroring the mind of the painter (but not really in that good creative way, more’s the pity). Scattered about you see several Hirst Arts pieces in various states of completion.…

    The GULP

    January 4, 2015 / 3 Comments

    The very first minis I purchased in my adulthood were a passel of western figures from Monday Knight Productions. They turned out to be a mixture of 25 and 28mm, as I really didn’t know the difference then, and the…

    Sawyer’s Playmobil

    January 1, 2013 / No Comments

    Despite the seriousness with which many pursue the cause of wargaming — devoting hours to painting figures and constructing terrain; then devoting hours more to arguing over the proper number of buttons or color of facings — one should never…

    Prufrock in Peril!

    December 2, 2012 / No Comments

    The Colonial Angle is a website devoted to miniature wargames (my new passion). It contains a photographic battle report of The Demise of Professor Prufrock, a tale of supernatural mystery and desert intrigue. I didn’t realize in 2002 that the…
