painted lately. \u00a0This Sunday I had a few minutes, so I completed some things that had been sitting on the painting table for a couple of weeks. \u00a0The first two items were these two science fiction &#8220;computer cars.&#8221; \u00a0I found them at the local hobby shop. \u00a0I think they are for <em>Infinity<\/em>. \u00a0I don&#8217;t use slot bases, so I took the ones that came with the ducks (see below) and made a science fiction shipping container.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5992\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5992\" style=\"width: 376px\" class=\"wp-caption

the foundation of my gang in our Frostgrave games. \u00a0Everyone else has their Frostgrave figures mounted on snow bases. \u00a0I ordered a second set of figures, painted them, and mounted them on snow bases for our upcoming second Frostgrave campaign.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5994\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

the bases. \u00a0First, I painted the bases light blue. \u00a0Then I applied snow flocking. \u00a0On top of that I added a little of this white flakey stuff O got from Scenic Express. \u00a0When I sprayed the figures will dull coat, the white flocking became translucent, with too much of the light blue showing through. \u00a0So I dabbed on more glue and added more of the white flocking. \u00a0The look is okay, but not quite what I wanted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5996\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5996\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
