    Odd Trios

    August 29, 2020 / No Comments

    Today we have a few recent completions, all of which came in groups of three. First up, some ancient Eureka Miniatures Hardlove Steam Driven Impervious Suits. Apparently unpopular or at least unphotogenic, inspirational searches for them on the web were…

    Good to Know

    July 9, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Gadding about the internet, as one does, he daily encounters innumerable morsels of guidance and advice. Some are retained for later use; others flutter harmlessly through the void betwixt the ears. My first-ever purchased 54mm figures from Armies in Plastic…

    A bit of a jag

    April 1, 2020 / 2 Comments

    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.…

    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…
