    At Long Last …

    December 31, 2022 / No Comments

    Whoops! There went a year. I was busy painting but not posting for the entire duration of 2022. I do hope to motivate myself to share some of my progress in 2023. I shall begin with a major accomplishment —…

    Painting Progress

    August 3, 2020 / No Comments

    Here are my latest figures to go into the “completed” column: An admittedly odd pair — a Blitz Bowl / Blood Bowl orc and a 3D-printed owlbear-skin rug from Fat Dragon Games. Continuing with fantasy, we have two well-armed lasses…

    A bit of a jag

    April 1, 2020 / 2 Comments

    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…

    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 / No Comments

    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…

    Lots of Grots

    February 16, 2020 / 1 Comment

    I’ve sojourned so far down the goblin rabbit hole that I’m starting to look for non-Games Workshop sources for interesting, new miniatures. There are, as one would expect, a variety of interpretations of “goblin.” For example, I have two different…

    Odds & Sods

    January 20, 2020 / No Comments

    Missed the traditional Saturday, but I submit a brief painting update. First up we have the first painted fellow from my recently-won WHFB 6/e starter set. I hereby revise my assessment of the sculpts from “aren’t my favorite” to “absolutely…

    This Doesn’t (Usually) Happen to Me II

    January 12, 2020 / No Comments

    I have sporadically dipped into the well of eBay through the years, either “Buy(ing) It Now!” or bidding in an auction or two. A decade or more ago, I recall having my heart broken, posting the high bid on some…

    A Man Out of Time

    December 29, 2019 / 2 Comments

    For whatever reason, I nearly always find myself out of step with current tastes. I do certainly fall prey to “shiny objects” dangled by miniatures companies. In general, however, I have definite interests — as well as strong dislikes —…
