Pimp Your Super Hero Blog Here
« on: April 05, 2010, 10:12:12 PM »
Bubba242's new forays into the world of bloging set my mind to thinking- how many other people out there have blogs dedicated to superhero minis?

rather than hijack bubba242's thread, I thought it best if I start my own. I have been blogging about my growing colletion of superhero minis for about two years now, and have come across a few more bloggers with similar interests, but not many. I bet there are more of you out there!

My blog is http://fourcoloursupers.blogspot.com/ (which is not to be confused with Fourcoloufigs blog with a similar name and content- an unfortunate coincidence I am sure. It is mainly conserned with superheros, villains, thugs and henchmen, but occationally some random scifi, conan or cowboys sneak in under the radar.

If you blog about your super hero minis, post your details on this thread, along with a brief description of you blog and it's contents. We bloggers should stick togeather. :D
Theres more 28mm Superhero Madness at my blog, http://fourcoloursupers.blogspot.com/

I love your blog, Rob! Sorry about the closeness of our two blogs' names! I've had the fourcolorfigs moniker since 2001, so it seemed natural to go with it for the Blog as well, but I didn't check closely enough to see you had your blog going since 2008.

Anyway, I dig your stuff and I will keep watching for your new posts.

Thanks!

Thanks for starting the thread, Rob.

You know I get to out-do both of you - I follow both of your blogs!  :)

I love superhero minis. After such a barren period of slim pickings I was really happy to see the Superfigs line however many years ago, painting dozens upon dozens of Superfigs minis (the Paragons pack alone has formed the basis of various conversions and colour schemes - I suspect I have painted 5 each of those two minis!).

With my best friend and closest gaming buddy Rob going the more 'generalised' supers route with his blog, I started my own late last year. The Pulp Citizen set out to document my plan to paint every available mini from a single game line (Pulp City), within a period of a smidgeon over a year, as well as other minis from time to time and scenery building, and related hobby thoughts and ideas, and also some tangential posting.


Please feel free check out my blog: Pulp Citizen

Great to see the stuff you do, Baron.


On another note, if anyone is interested I have just updated my blog with my latest minis and some commentary: Pulp Citizen.

I have a spare unpainted Pulp City June Summers mini that I am making available through a contest. The deadline for entries runs until 23:59 GMT on June 21st.

See this blog post on the Pulp Citizen (here) for the rules of entry.

Good luck to any entrants, and special thanks to Beermonkey, Varagon and John S. for agreeing to judge it.

Alright here we go, inspired by all you guys I made a blog too:

http://steelcitysupers.blogspot.com/

Its a work in progress, the next step will be for me to set up more links, and now that I have a log in and all that, I can properly "follow" everyone else's blog. Besides the minis, I'd like to provide some links and maybe a post or two so that a reader might get some flavor for Steel City, Supersystem's fictional Pittsburgh.

Thanks all!
