Privateer Press DVD Teaser

This DVD looks like it may be worth buying. I wish I'd had this 20+ years ago when I started painting!

Long time, no update.

It's been a while since I updated this page. Nothing new to report on the web site or painting front. No motivation.

I did finally get in a game of DBA a few weeks back. The Middle Imperial Romans finally made their debut. It was the Battle of the Teutoberger Wald all over again. Not pretty.

Might try to get some painting in this weekend if I get the time.

Making progress!

OK, I've spent some time today working on the gallery for LittleMetalMen.com. Functionality seems to be working, more or less, but I'll probably still need to do some tweaking of the CSS once I start getting some decent photos of models.

I'm also trying to determine standard dimensions for the photos. That will be entertaining when adding photos of larger models.

Anyhoo, the site is that much closer to being back online!

A method for Goblin flesh I'm finally happy with!

Reaper Master Series Olive triad finished off with Citadel's Thraka Green wash!

PERFECT!

Working on the site again

OK,

Months have gone by and I've not really been motivated to work on LittleMetalMen.com, but I'm feeling like a wild man this weekend and actually doing some code. Maybe the site will be back up sometime in 2009. lol

Other than that, I haven't really been motivated to paint for a while, so my 2008 painting challenge kinda fell by the wayside. Maybe that also will pick up in 2009.

New Citadel inks

OK. I gave in and picked up a set of the new Citadel inks... oops.. washes today. I've heard a lot of good things about them. Hoping it's not just GW fanboy drool. If they really do dry flat, I'm going to be very happy.

I also picked up a couple of bottles of the foundation paints to give them a try... orcish colors after last nights discovery of even more greenskin models. I'm guessing I've probably got close to 5,000 points, or more, of orcs and goblins; a good number of the goblins are mid-1980's - early-1990's era Citadel METAL, too!

Also picked up the latest Orc & Goblin army book and the new Daemons of Chaos book. It's too humid to prime today and weather is supposed to be bad tomorrow, so maybe I can get some stuff painted once I get laundry, etc. done...

Got the urge...

...but wasn't really motivated to jump back into the 15mm Early Franks, so got back to work on some long neglected 25/28mm Dacians and plastic Citadel Orc Archers. The Dacians are also archers, so instead of wasting paint, I went ahead and got out a few of the orc models I'd primed ages ago and started painting the bows on those as well.

I'm going to do a little experiment and see if working on several different projects at once will help my motivation by breaking up the monotony.

Looks like rain this weekend, so I'll have a good excuse to paint!
