\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Typically, I only watch one football game each year. \u00a0That’s the Army-Navy game. \u00a0It’s been a disappointing decade (11 years actually). \u00a0Occasionally we watch the Super Bowl, because we get invited to a party or my wife wants to see the commercials. \u00a0This year we weren’t invited to any Super Bowl parties, but the kids were. \u00a0With taking kids to Super Bowl events, church, and going up to Delaware for a friend’s promotion party, Sunday was largely shot. \u00a0Saturday, on the other hand, provided a good opportunity for some light painting between other kid taxiing events. \u00a0I used the time to work on some odds and ends that have been in my project box for a while.<\/p>\n

\"RAFM<\/a>
RAFM Call of Cthulu roadster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Before he created Pulp Figures, Bob Murch sculpted for RAFM. \u00a0His old Call of Cthulu figures are more 25mm compared to his current 28mm figures, but I think they are interesting and have some nice aspects to them. \u00a0This roadster has been calling my name for a long time. \u00a0I got it for Christmas and painted it up this weekend. \u00a0The casting on the roadster (lead) was poor and required a lot of putty work. \u00a0I think the final product turned out pretty good though.<\/p>\n

\"RAFM<\/a>

In that same Call of Cthulu line are these neat policemen on motorcycles. \u00a0I especially like the side car with the officer armed with a shotgun. \u00a0In my Granville pulp games, the police tend to be outgunned by Venusians, gangsters, soldiers, sailors, and robots. \u00a0These will help redress the balance a bit.<\/p>\n

\"Pulp<\/a>

What’s not to like about female cultists to go along with the other cultists. \u00a0I’m thinking the cultists will have a major role in the next Duke Morrison adventure.<\/p>\n

\"Prince<\/a>

In an earlier post, I showed pictures of the Sergeants Three from Pulp Figures. \u00a0There are two Sergeants Three sets: \u00a0one with “toad face” from Gunga Din<\/em>. \u00a0The other comes with these two characters from The Drum<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Reaper<\/a>

I’m thinking these Cub Scouts will have a major role in the next Granville game as well!<\/p>\n

\"Eureka<\/a>

When we were getting ready to release The GASLIGHT Compendium, we had been in discussions with Nic Robson at Eureka Miniatures about a custom figure. \u00a0They already had this one in the pipeline that was similar to what we wanted. \u00a0I have a unit of 10.<\/p>\n

\"Hydra<\/a>

When I ordered the flight stands for the FASA Hangar 18 ships from my previous post, I also ordered these larger Hydra pirate ships for War Rocket. \u00a0The pirates haven’t seen action yet.<\/p>\n
