Guardian Angel

I finished my second son of the emperor.  The model is a Reaper Avatar of Aurelius.  When I first saw it online, I loved the pose of the figure and knew that I needed to have it.  Putting the wings on the model was a bit difficult, but overall, the build went well.  I am a little disappointed in the figures left hand...the fingers are somewhat disproportionate.The base is mostly custom.  I added a few more skulls,  a horn, a knife, and the severed head of a demon.   I went with a red and gold paint scheme.  The overall paint job turned out decently well.  So it's two down and eighteen to go (counting the emperor).

I ate lunch today at Ladles in Springdale, PA.  I had a grilled cheese sandwich called the Polishman.  The sandwich had a piece of sliced ham in it and a perogie.  Gotta say it was delicious!  The New England Clam Chowder that I had with it was amazing as well as was the Almond Tort that I had to top it all off.  The service was decent and the atmosphere is quaint.  It's not the first time that I have eaten at Ladles and I can assure you that it won't be the last.  They have a great menu and I have never had a bad meal there.  They also have a pretty nice bar with a good selection.  I recommend this little gem highly!
