10 days goes fast


Has it already been ten days since my last post?? (I don't know- is ten days a long time to go without blogging?)

Anyway, I've been busy at work this week- and took it easy last week to prepare for this week, so I hadn't been getting a lot of painting or converting done. I DO, however, have a few things on my table that I actually touched today -- some 15mm chariots for playing Charioteer, some Mice and Mystics figures that I'll be doing some minor conversions on, and an unfinished orc Dreadball team that I finally threw a little paint on. All that and I'm entertaining the possibility of purchasing yet more 42mm samurai figures (I have some ideas for a couple ninja conversions.)

So hang in there, and hopefully I'll get something cobbled together for your viewing pleasure. Maybe, if I have the energy, I'll throw together another samurai skirmish soon.

In the mean time, here's some new eye candy:




Silly ninjas, Ichi is blind so why are you wearing black?

    1. I use mostly Wargames Foundry, some Privateer Press and a touch of Vallejo (mostly for red.)

  2. Mmmm rainbow candy canes. Wait, not the candy you were talking about? ;)

    Looking forward to the chariots, something about them seems very compeling.

  3. Thanks for the update and the eye candy. I see by doing a search that you are a photographer. I was going to ask because your figures, besides being well sculpted and beautifully painted, are photographed really well. I'll study your pictures more and try to glean what I should be doing from them.

  5. Superb, as always.

    am i right in thinking that foundry paints are coat'darms? ie the old, old citadel manufacturer?

    1. I'm unsure. There are a lot of good colors in Foundry, but some are inconsistent- my base flesh and ducky flesh are all watery, as are a couple other random pots. But I've managed to work around the problems.

      When my Foundry Paints run out, I was thinking about trying Coat d'armes due to its connection with the old Citadels (though, I've heard the paints are not the same as Citadel's, only the company connection). I may try some CdA soon anyway since a couple of Foundry triads are getting low.
