In addition to final prep for Barrage, I also managed to get a few figures painted.  The first were some science fiction civilians I ordered a month or so ago.  These were kind of fun to paint, since I really used mostly block painting to give them a cartoon look.

In addition, I finally painted the Steampunk George Stephenson figure that I received at Partizan last year.  Partizan is held in the George Stephenson exhibit hall.  I don’t think he really had a mechanical arm.  🙂

Finally, I had this little elephant pendant (about an inch long) that my buddy Ma’k gave me to see what I might do with it.  I made it a heavy weapon platform for my space ducks.

Barrage is tomorrow in Havre de Grace, Maryland.  See http://www.hawks-barrage.org for more information, directions, etc.

Tomorrow and Saturday will be great days for gaming.  The weather will be too cold to be outside working on your honey-do list.  It has snowed recently, but the roads are clear and dry.  We have food available on site for a reasonable price, so once you get hear you won’t have to go out in the cold.

We have a terrific slate of games on offer.  Why not sped the day doing what you love with a great bunch of fellow gamers?  Come for both days.  Can’t take off Friday, come after work.  But don’t miss all the fun.

 

The best little wargaming convention on the East Coast is in JUST TWO DAYS.  Come to two days of non-stop gaming fun at Barrage.  See http://www.hawks-barrage.org for more details.

I purchased a number of Pulp Figures packs at Historicon, and I finally got around to painting them.  My unpaired lead collection is getting dangerously low.  I like these figures.  They have the stereotypical Bob Murch style and animation, which I love.  My only complaint is that there aren’t enough poses to make a nice unit for skirmish gaming.

I also purchased a pack of the masked avengers figures.  It turns out that I already had this set, but I painted it anyway, this time in different colors than the first set.

I have been slowly painting the Star Wars buildings I got from Imperial Terrain.  My daughter painted the first one (see previous post).  I knocked this one out this weekend.

These are staged with Matchbox scout troopers on speeder bikes.  These can be found on Ebay for a couple of dollars, while the Collectable Miniatures figures are $10 or more — if you can even find them.

Finally, I knocked out these Crooked Dice female cultists that I picked up some time ago.
