Updates coming, I promise!

    Ok, the blog has been idle for a lot of 2020 but I'm working on changing that.  General funkiness has just sapped any drive to do much, although I did force myself to pick up a brush and get cracking.  By mid 2020 I had gotten a desire to finish some stuff laying around so buildings were made and some model builds for friends have been completed.  As contrition for 2020 I present the list of completed stuff through 12/31/20 for gaming.  Pics will come later, just getting the numbers out there (everything is 28mm size unless noted).  Most of it needs a pic to really explain it, especially the "blobs" and those will be coming in dribs and drabs.

Painting during the virus months

Another month of painting . . .

     Another month of pseudo-quarantine has gone by and my interest shifted to terrain as the weather warms.  It's easier to spray paint terrain and now that Wisconsin is out of the thaw I can spray without the wet and cold weather influences.  So after a month of painting for another group challenge I've completed a decent amount of items.

Terrain:

    I'm working on an imagination Africa project and this will encompass Vietnam gaming as well so I need to have jungle and vegetation to break up LOS and allow things to hide.  In 2019 I had ordered a bunch of palm trees from China via ebay and the bug hit me to start getting these painted and based.  Most of the basing is done using 1/4" x 2" fender washers for single, double, and some triple trees, but I also had some "strips" of mdf about 1.5" by 4", 6", and 12" in size from a failed wall project.  These strips are designed to be boundaries between properties, create trails by acting as borders, and be just general jungle pieces not on perfectly round bases.
