My first diorama...

Long ago in a painting studio far far away (ok, it's actually the exact same spot), I set out to make my first diorama.  I had this female archer figure (from Spyglass at the time), and I wanted to do something more that just put it on a regular base with com branches or rocks.

I got some sculpey, and created the tree.  It seemed to need something else, so I also sculpted the little bird :-)  This piece was probably done in 2003.

Glory Shots! A sneak preview of what is to come for theAngels Solarus

Since most of the infantry units for the Angels Solarus have been posted already, I thought it was time to use a few "Glory Shots" to give you a taste of future posts. 

These were taken at the Chicago Battle Bunker a few months ago.  I don't get a chance to shoot pictures of my painted stuff on tables very often, but when I get the chance, it is always great to have them!  I love setting up little scenes, trying to get interesting angles and such.  My only wish is that I still have all the vehicles when I took these.  That would be the stormraven, a few Baal Predators, and the Forgeworld speeders.  I didn;t have the dreadnoughts with me either when I took these images...

If you like dreadnoughts, and dreadnought drop pods, you will be delirious with some of these future posts. :-)
