Captain's Log... No updates...

Jake the Cow

Basking in all my glory has made me tired and I'm gonna vegitate in front of the picter thingy.

Captain's Log... 24 Hours of Glory...

I would like to thank Casey Christopher for asking me to be his partner in the Team Tournament at FTW Games in Richmond, VA. I wasn't going to go and then at the last minute I ran into him and he needed a partner... the rest is as they say... history.


I would also like to thank Tom, Wes, Blue, Josh, Bert, Thabbit, Rob, and Jake for a great day!

I'll be in other corners...

Captain's Log... Sunday, Sunday, Sunday...

2012 

While typical sports fans may be watching NCAA March Madness (VCU is out soooo...) or NASCAR I'm doing what 'we' do best... play with toy soldiers.

I do enjoy football and am following where Peyton Manning is going to sign. I really hope, along with my wife, that he doesn't pull a 'Farve' by bouncing around to differing teams at less then 100% till he knows he can't perform at an 'elite' level. I'm rooting for him to be healthy and to sign with the Bronco's so Tebow can learn under him and play an even better game when Manning retires officially. I wouldn't mind the Titan's either just to see if Manning can turn an average team into something better. Just musing though...

Just some candid pics this week after the break... the speeder, both my count-as rune priests inprogress, and my chooser of the slain token with new flock to match the rest of the army...

Captain's Log... Comparison...


Back from being out of town for work but a project I was starting didn't make it past the test model. I'm building some 'guys' for a forum I belong to and the 'hand' and arm bitz aren't working out like I visualized... more of that later though.

Today I took some shots of an old Rogue Trader 'Beakie' Missile Launcher and the new Forge World retro-grade side by side to show a bit of comparison.

Captain's Log... Meanwhile...

Yep, I got a few.

The unit this week is anther devistator squad with parts ordered from Forge World. I originally had a 'sergeant' with a 'halberd' type of weapon but built a couple of guys so the only 'halberds' in my list are actually power weapons.

I managed to work on my landspeeder and a 'chooser of the slain' marker but for some reason I can't get the lighting correct tonight. I'm not happy with the pictures but wanted to update just to do something and relax.

As expected... more pictures of grey plastic painted grey...
