Good Morning All!

I’m back to the grind. Didn’t have time to take any individual shots of mini’s last night as I crashed almost immediately when I got home. I was shy on sleep from the rave on the weekend, and was sunf*cked from being outside all weekend. I keep forgetting I’m not in my 20’s and 30′ anymore,  when I could happily hump a rucksuck through the hubs of hell or spend all day on the beach.

@limburger The right grip on a motorcycle is the throttle, so you need to use that hand to steer. That’s also where the front brake is. The left is just a grip, and the clutch is on that side. Still, you could have a weapon in your left hand if you’re not changing gears. In the end, I guess it’s better than those idiotic fork mounted weapons *rolls eyes*. I would rather have the weapons tucked away, or only used if one or both feet are on the ground i.e. the bike is stopped.

@rasmus I feel your pain when it comes to Kickstarters! “Hmmm… should I eat this week or support this medieval alien/Halfling hybrid series of miniatures?”  No brainer. I’m kinda proud of my restraint: I actually only supported one Kickstarter this year, the Rampart Cathedral thingie. Pledged three sets initially, but bought a fourth in the pledge manager — plastic crack.

@unclejimmy Rufus is a sweetie! I like those kind of quirky traits in animals. Joplin took a round out of our dog yesterday when she got too close to her kittens. They’re three months old now, but she is still very protective, and a barn rescue, so knows how to look after business. The cats have figured out how to work around the dog. Most of the time they live in the old chicken coop, where I’ve put their food and water, but I also have goodies for them on the table in the back yard. This morning all three of them greeted me from the roof of the house. I just need to figure out a way to get them socialized before winter. Any suggestions? Anyone?

Here’s some of the Victoria Miniatures bits I used for my navy crewmen:

I picked up the  female versions as well, as we have had several female players in the past. Some don’t enjoy gaming, but it’s the best way of keeping track of their husband, and they can get fed and get snoggered for free on our homemade wine and ‘shine.

I think most of the weapons and arms came from Victoria Miniatures as well.

@crazyredcoat Great job on those mini’s! Is there any chance of getting a closer look? 🙂

@horati0nosebl0wer Do you have any pics of your shop? I have to live vicariously through you and @rasmus until I can find space for mine!

@seldon9 Good to see you here! Are you still making dazzling Infinity terrain?

Back to work. 30+ Celsius again today. That’s 90+ Celsius for those of you keeping track at home. I shouldn’t whine. That’s probably sweater weather for @oriskany and @gladesrunner .
