Today the whole Baltimore-Washington area was blanketed by sleet and snow. \u00a0As a result, work was closed. \u00a0That gave me time to spend four hours on my consulting job and to shovel a ton of snow. \u00a0I also had time to finish a couple of small projects I started after I finished painting 16 battalions of 10mm Russian grenadiers for Fate of Battle.<\/em><\/p>\n

I only watch about three or four hours of television a week. \u00a0I consistently struggle to find things that we can all watch as a family without worrying about excessive language or people yanking off their clothes. \u00a0Netflix has been a godsend. \u00a0Lately we’ve been having fun watching old episodes of the A-Team. \u00a0The first four seasons are fun. \u00a0The fifth season isn’t nearly as good.<\/p>\n

I got the bug to find the van and paint figures to use in my town of Granville for pulp-style games. \u00a0The van I found by Ertl on Ebay. \u00a0The figures are from Foundry. \u00a0They were fun to paint and a nice diversion after all those white belts and red turn backs.<\/p>\n

I’ve also begun picking away at some of the larger Bones figures from Reaper. \u00a0It was these large figures that enticed me into the Kickstarter project. \u00a0Many of the regular fantasy figures I ended up selling in the flea market at Historicon. \u00a0I wanted the larger creatures to work into my GASLIGHT games. \u00a0This tree monster didn’t take a lot of time or finesse, but I think it turned out okay.<\/p>\n
