  • Eagle Project update

    No pictures yet, but we appear to be finally in the home stretch of George’s Eagle Project for Scouts. This has been a long time coming, and we are eager to be finally finished with the effort. As previously posted, he is conducting a project to produce and install several book libraries, for a local…

  • The Beast of Lepidstadt

    If you have been following along with our Carrion Crown campaign, the group has been heavily involved in the trial of the century, the trial of a creature known as the Beast of Lepidstadt. A flesh golem with apparent low-level intelligence, the monster is said to have terrorized the local countryside for the last 40…

  • Obi-wan’s Army

    Highlighting a bit of my son’s force with the Galactic Republic, as his entry into our Skirmish league. With some encouragement, he has been racing to paint his entire force, and managed to complete all figures except 1 in time (a single solo white primed rocket clone). He opted to paint them in the color…

  • A-A5 Speeder Truck, phase 2

    Decided to get a bit more complex on the Speeder truck, and paint specific sections and stripes. Using some tape, I was able to block off several key sections, then highlight them with paint using a piece of sponge. Opted for complementary colors – some dark green (Army Painter Elf Green), black, and a bright…

  • A-A5 Speeder Truck, phase 1

    Started on the painting of my final skirmish piece, the A-A5 Speeder Truck last night, and managed to get most of the shell completed. As you can likely tell, I am going non-standard, and continuing my desert camouflage theme with darker browns rather than the light grey I have been seeing. Vehicle is pictured next…

  • Send in the Clones

    Wanted to highlight some of my son’s efforts, as well as my own. While I have been busy painting up Rebels for Legion, he has been working on technique and practise with a collection of Galactic Republic Clones. We will both be participating in the upcoming skirmish league, so have motivation to finalize our painting.…

  • The next big thing

    Grinding thru the painting for my skirmish league army, and just about done with the various troopers. The final large project is the A-A5 Speeder Truck, shown here with an optional extra print of a Gonk Droid (unofficial). Our standard design includes the gonk droid upgrade (to provide shields), so I wanted to add him…

  • Darth Maul

    The third model I have been working on painting this week is Darth Maul – a piece that was actually back-ordered for a very long time. I had even gone to the extent of 3d printing a proxy model, though I never ended up painting or using it. The model as pictured isn’t quite finished.…
