I received a few gaming-related gifts for Christmas.  These included a starter fleet for Uncharted Seas, in this case the Iron Dwarves.  In addition, I received a Captain America figures painted to match the recent movie.

I have been wanting some of the old Call of Cthulu RAFM sets.  I received a couple for Christmas.  I haven’t painted them yet, but here are some pictures from the RAFM Web site.

Some weeks ago, I acquired some British toy Centaurans from Dr. Who.  I finally finished painting them.

The figures are a bit crude, but they’ll work for a Dr. Who game.

At the Fall In convention I picked up a few figures from the flea market.  I finally got around to painting them up for some Pulp games.

I have a couple more days of vacation before heading back to work.  I’m in the process of priming 24 battalions of 10mm Prussians and hope to make a good dent in them before vacation ends.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone!  It has been a busy year for us, with lots of surprises, some good, and some not so good.  On balance, it’s been a very good year.  I hope the same is true for you and yours.
