Holiday Haul

I must have been pretty good in 2025.  Part of my Holiday Haul was a 2 player set from the new Heroscape Line Age of Annihilation (Battle for the Wellspring) which I look forward to playing with my son.  I also got 2 boxes of Honolulu Cookies.  I love them!!!  Best shortbread cookies in the world!!!!  Not pictured was a Joe Cool Snoopy T-Shirt - awesome!!  

The holidays were great.  I got to spend some quality time with family and friends.  Plenty of food, drink, and merriment. As the new year approaches, I think this will be the last post of 2025. I like to wish all of you lots of happiness, good health, prosperity, and peace in 2026. Take care and stay safe out there!

 

C'Mon Ride the Train

For the month of  December, I decided to get a little holiday spirit (normally I'm pretty much of a Grinch).  Growing up, my father always had a toy train running through a small village beneath the tree.  To that end, I painted a 3D printed Gothic train set I purchased  back in 2019.  

I did a few modifications to it. The troop transport got a pair of gun turrets added to the top.  The engine received a set of exhaust vents to the back of the cab.  The flatbed was converted to a tanker car. I attached the big gun to the car so that it can rotate 360. 

I went with a black, silver, and cooper color scheme.  I think it looks pretty decent.  Take a gander.

I like to thank you for taking the time to check out my humble little blog.  Enjoy the holidays and stay safe out there!

It's Been Buggin' Me

All the way back in 2022 I bought a set of Arthropods which I finally built and painted in 2023 (see earlier posts). When I finished them, I kept thinking to myself that one was missing.  After looking around for it for a bit, I wrote it off as a false memory.  WRONG!

Last week while looking for something different to paint, I came across the long lost little bugger in a bag with a bunch of other minis that I haven't gotten around to dealing with yet.

So behold Arthropod #4; assembled, painted, and positioned on a custom base I made for said creature.  It looks quite menacing.  Rally the troopers!  "Everybody fights.  No one quits."

The Newbies

Some recent purchases.  I got these guys for a great price and am really happy with them.  I've wanted a Banshee for quite some time now.  The One Shot model will complete my set of Soda Pop Miniatures Black Diamond Faction.  The holidays came early for this old Grinch.  Take care out there!  Peace out!
