Had some insomnia last night. I started watching the amazing tutorial videos on Papercuts and couldn't stop. The dioramas this guy makes are seriously unbelievable. I know I will never be as good (I don't have the patience) as this artist, but I can dream. Click the link below to check out some way awesome stuff.
A bit too hot for our liking today. Decided to have some inside fun. Went down to Jacksonville to a place called Autobahn Indoor Speedway. Great time had by all.
We did some axe throwing which was funny and fun. I had my issues. My youngest took to it like a pro.
Next, we did some Go-Karting. (NASCAR drivers, you can all feel safe!)
The place is nice. There are arcade games. You can get food and beverages (the adult kind too). They had Corn Hole set up as well. If you're looking for something to do while in the Jacksonville area, check it out.
While on vacation in Florida (temps in the 90s), I decided to spend some time in the AC and get a few miniatures painted. All 10 of them are made of metal (which is unusual for me to want/have). I plan to use all of them with my growing Starship Troopers collection.
The 1st group is a set of 4 Corsair Scouts. Two are equipped with flamethrowers and 2 with rocket launchers. I got these guys from Khurasan Miniatures several years ago. I thought they were cool looking but wasn't sure what I'd do with them.
Group 2 is a set of 3 Cougar Exosuits. These guys are produced by Rebel Minis. Each suit has a rotary cannon and a Firestorm Missile Launcher. One suit has a flamethrower and another has a javelin launcher.
The 3rd set is made up of Grizzly Exosuits (also made by Rebel Minis). Each suit has a jump pack, a rotary cannon and a Firestorm Missile Launcher. In addition, 1 suit has a flamethrower and another has a javelin launcher.
All in all there is a ton of armor and firepower here to make this group completely bad a$$ on the gaming table. Bugs beware, you've been put on notice.
