The beginning of the week I was in Costa Rica on a family vacation, so I didn’t do much in the way of hobby stuff. \u00a0On Saturday, I did manage to work on a few odds and ends type figures while the kids were out with their buddies. \u00a0In short bursts I can paint the odd figure, but I like to work on painting units when I know I have a couple of hours of uninterrupted time.<\/p>\n

My daughter actually painted these figures right before we left on vacation. \u00a0The guy on the left we dubbed “the banana man.” \u00a0These are both from Wargames Supply Dump in their Dirk Garrison range. \u00a0For someone who doesn’t like to paint figures, but likes to paint terrain, I think she did a really nice job on these.<\/p>\n

I had seen this figure advertised, but at 2.50 GBP it was too expensive to order from the UK. \u00a0When I was at Partizan, I picked it up. \u00a0Most of the figures in this range are ridiculous, but I like this one and the one below, because they look like WWII nose art. \u00a0I’m not sure what I will do with them, but they were sort of fun to paint. \u00a0I thought I might put them in my next Captain America game where the Cap is doing a USO tour when the fighting breaks out.<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago, I saw this figure of John Wayne in a magazine or Web page. \u00a0It is a limited edition release from Northstar. \u00a0I had been coveting the figure. \u00a0My recent attendance at Partizan gave me a chance to pick one up. \u00a0Actually, I got two for myself and one for a buddy. \u00a0I think they did a very good job of making it look like John Wayne, especially on a 28mm figure. \u00a0I am very happy with the way he turned out.<\/p>\n

My daughter painted these robots too. \u00a0They are also from the Dirk Garrison range. \u00a0I think they would have been nicer with a little more color, but they turned out okay.<\/p>\n

At Nashcon, Don or Greg found this figure in a bin of figures someone was selling. \u00a0I thought she would look good as a fighter to go along with my sigilist in our Frostgrave campaign. \u00a0She had a pointing thing on the front of her habit, but after I filed that off, I think she matches the sigilist well.<\/p>\n

So… not much accomplished this week. \u00a0I have some Wargames Supply Dump figures partially completed on the gaming table. \u00a0They are supposed to be reminiscent of warriors from Arboria in the Flash Gordon comics. \u00a0I’ll post some pictures when they are done.<\/p>\n
