You light up my life


Given all the mayhem that has occurred on the streets of Wappeville after sundown, the City officials determined that the only solution was to set up a string of RJ-1027 powered lights!!

The Burn in Designs streetlamp set was just perfect for this task.

It comes with a variety of options.


Here's one of the lights with the various pieces dry fit into place.


While you don't have to use the pieces in any exact way, I decided to match what Lathan had done in his images.


I used regular Elmer's glue, hoping that some would seep out around the edges.  I used a brush to spread out the glue to hide the seams between sections.


The underside of the boardwalk sections has to be planned out carefully if you want the sections to line up correctly.


One of the long support pieces has notches for the streetlamps.  If you want one section to have the lamps closer to the street as opposed to the buildings, it will be easier for the folks walking along it to take cover.


Lamps glued in place!


The boardwalk on the top is complete.  Now I will reverse everything to make a section for the opposite side of the street.


I put a sign post on the end of each section, since I want to designate street names now.  Wappelville is becoming quite the metropolis, after all!!


The opposing section under way.  You can also see the street signs down in the corner.


Look!  These new boardwalk sections line up perfectly with the original smaller versions which we already have.  Now I just have to paint them to match... so stay tuned!


Even a Legend needs a pal


Even when you are a legend, a man still needs his best friend. 


Legendary Wyatt has two buddies, the new, very potent K-9 Mercenary dogs.


Not only do they offer massive additional firepower, but they are his "eyes and ears", seeking out targets, providing line of sight.


This will be devastating, since Wyatt will not have to use his many action points to move into position.  No longer will he have to march down the middle of the street!


I think the streets of Wappelville just got a lot safer!!!


In addition, these two K-9's can "reach out and touch someone"... they can charge a potentially nasty enemy shooter, keeping them tied up so that the rest of the Lawmen can advance.


There's a total of ten action points here, and that's going to come in VERY handy.


I cannot wait to try out this fearsome trio!!


They will lay waste to the Enemies of Justice.


Stay tuned for a possible battle report after GenCon!!!

Standing tall


While this pose is not hyper dynamic like many sculpts can be these days, it does have that 'just right' bit of attitude in the posture.

It gives you the impression that he is specifically challenging you...


Bring it on!!!


There you have it. :-)


This definitely ain't no Bull!!!


The week of Legends continues!

Today we have Legendary Sitting Bull of the Warrior Nation.

His bark and his bite are equally nasty, rest assured.


In keeping with the previous characters such as Geronimo and Sky Spirit,  I went with a black color scheme.


The shredded containers of RJ-1027 were a lot of fun.  I mixed in the fluorescent paints with water effects, to give it more viscosity.


Stay tuned... because Legends Week ain't done yet!!!

Demon Blade


I enjoyed this Mierce Miniatures figure a great deal.  The pose is very dynamic, and the weapons were certainly something unusual!


I couldn't resist doing the Eye which I have been painting on all the figures of this type.


I do hope to get a chance to paint more of the Mierce monstrous infantry in the future!!!


Running Amok


Today we check out some of the 'regular' sized figures from Infamy Miniatures.  They are about 32mm, somewhere in that range.  The bases sizes are 30mm and 40mm for comparison.

I don't have all of them shown in this post, as I didn't have the right sort of bases for them.


This little girl is not only cute, but she is quite mischievous!  Leaping over that sewer water!


Monkeys!!!!!


Tesla in 32mm.  Just as detailed as the 54mm version, and the giant bust!!


This is freaking amazing!  I am going to do the blast effect just like the Willa Shaw Iron Horse.


This is an incredible group of minis.  It will be soooooo much fun painting these!!!

That will all play out on the pages of this blog, so stay tuned!

Legend's Week begins!!!!!!!!!


OK, it's Tuesday, but it's never too late to bring in the LAW!

This Legendary Lawman is Wyatt Earp, and he is supremely nasty.


Oh yeah, and the miniature is mighty fine as well.  I'm really looking forward to seeing this Legend of the Wild West on the table, joined by his two doggies!


However, this is just the beginning of a week of legends.  I can already hear the baying of a wolf in the background...  what could that be?
