Title: Figure the Odds!
Post by: AxolotAl on 10 September 2011, 05:43:38 PM
Yup, I'm another refugee. To celebrate my landing in a new clime I have retired my old username from that other place, hoping to start fresh without nine years of baggage.

I've decided to get back to what works, making terrain and painting figures, with hopes to then play with them, and talking to folks who wish to do the same.

Doh! Current projects:
making more card model buildings for modern/near future 28mm gaming
making more 1/300 skyscrapers (also card)

painting 28mm western figures (got a bunch of civilians from Old Glory plus more cowboys to do)
painting more 28mm Gangsters and civilians
painting more pulp-era figures

longer term project - making watercraft for 'Prohibition War at Sea' - was going to be card models but now I'm thinking about going to Shapeways 3D instead...

I forgot, the skyscrapers were freebies from Smash Monster Rampage! The figures next to them are the Bandai figures, about 6 inches tall.

I love the IKEA!

I'd send a platoon to secure it just for the $2.99 meatball lunch special.

Those look great.

Now I have the Ikea song by Jonathan Coulton running through my head, though.

Um, did I remember to say welcome?  If not, welcome!
