This fellow's models are simply mind boggling. And after a 3 1/2 year hiatus, he's back at it again!

Just a sample of what he's up to now, in order to get you hungry for more...

The Tally Thus Far...

   Midway through August, just about two-thirds of the year gone. Time to review my project progress, I think. And, it seems pretty good, actually! I am grading the year on four criteria: Painting accomplished, money spent, blog posts made, and games played.

   I have already painted more 25mm, 6mm, and fleet scale miniatures this year than in all of 2012. I am very close with 15mm, as well. More terrain has been readied for play, and more vehicles. In all, the only category that I am lagging behind in is re-basing, and that mostly because I did the majority of what was necessary last year!

   Expenditures are pretty high, granted. But that includes a good bit for a round trip airfare, hotel and car rental to attend Historicon. Plus the hefty spending done there. So, not too bad, and certainly less than I would have spent on a hunting lease or a fishing boat.

   Games played: I did not track these very well last year, but I would hazard a guess as to say I am playing more as well. Which was the point of tracking them - a spur to activity!

   Finally, I am already over the 2012 mark on posts this year. Thanks to those of you who follow regularly, and to those who occasionally pop in but don't actively follow: why not? What would you like to see mroe of here?

OGRE Terrain Boards over on Ogre Miniatures

First, here's the link: First Ogre Miniatures Game on the New Terrain Boards.

Second, here's one picture just to whet your appetite:

Now go and check it out. Good stuff going on there, and it looks like he's just getting ramped up for more Ogre-y goodness.

Is Ogre-y a word? I suppose it should be Ogrish. Whatever.

And look, two posts in the same day!

   PanzerKaput's Painted Review: Welsh Flags without Writing: Here is a second and requested Welsh flag for the use of. I hope you like it :D

Winter of '79

   If you haven't run across it before, and you're interested in Alternate History gaming, you might find this blog very interesting: Winter of '79. Currently, they are chronicling the Welsh Rising of 1979. I hope it goes well for the Taffys.

   You might recall that my Very British Civil War faction is Welsh Nationalists. So it is interesting to see the results coming through.

   Anyway, if you are into Cold War-era gaming, you will probably enjoy it.
