    Spring Update: “Bits & Pieces of Everything”

    April 23, 2021 /

    While things do progress apace on the painting front, I have been a thoroughly lax chronicler of my activity… In addition, I’ve been recalled to the classroom for in-person kindergarten. I have to be grateful — my family remained healthy,…

    Packing Away the Year

    December 31, 2020 /

    This one has been a mess for so many. I feel fortunate to have remained healthy, employed, and amongst family. I hope the new year brings better things to everyone. Here is a good bit of my painting progress of…

    Hobby Giving

    December 30, 2020 /

    Heretofore, hobbying has been a personal pursuit for me. The vast majority of my time is consumed by painting miniatures, building terrain, and questing for the perfect organizational system for same. Occasionally I get in a game. This year, my…

    Wisdom of the Ages (WotA)

    December 2, 2020 /

    Good to Know

    July 9, 2020 /

    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…

    Sweet Jane

    June 11, 2020 /

    Here’s a roundup of some recent completions. First up is what I consider to be one of those silly Reaper fantasy figures that I will likely never use. A bard, I presume, whose “axe” is every bit a modern-day guitar,…

    Ascaria

    April 13, 2020 /

    Part I: Ascodal I mentioned in my last post the bags of random figures I received in my Christmas Haul from Armies in Plastic. Amongst them were a smattering of Napoleonics, an era which has never, for some reason, “grabbed”…

    A bit of a jag

    April 1, 2020 /

    Even before the recent “sheltering in place,” I seem to have gone on a bit of a painting jag — the term is, apparently, an Americanism: “a bout of unrestrained activity or emotion, especially drinking, crying, or laughing.” There is…

    More GW Goblin Goodness … and a Guest

    April 1, 2020 /

    Fairly recent eBay sleuthing resulted in two pertinent finds, which I instantly acquired: This Goblin Regiment was new, still in shrink-wrap, at a somewhat reasonable price. The flanking fellows are — now that I think of it —my first, and…

    Random Progress

    February 16, 2020 /

    Rather than working steadily towards an attainable goal, I seem to pick up miniatures to paint as they strike my fancy. Those in the “done” box this weekend include: Four of the 6 chibi adventurers from one of my many…
