Hobby stuff has been happening, but blogging has been lagging. Work and life get in the way of things and blogging gets the short end. I can paint and create without blogging, but it would be tough to blog about painting without actually painting. Odd, that. The terrain for the first three Episodes are complete....

We interrupt your regularly scheduled and irregularly appearing blog posts to bring you the following unboxing. While still working on the Lurker from the Deep and still staring at the pile of Dracula and knowing I never really touched the Orsa the Fearless Feature Packs, I have received another 7TV Feature Pack. That's how addictions... Continue Reading →
"One detail that annoyed me was the distribution of the few faint sounds I heard. They ought naturally to have come wholly from the visibly inhabited houses, yet in reality were often strongest inside the most rigidly boarded-up facades. There were creakings, scurryings, and hoarse doubtful noises; and I thought uncomfortably about the hidden tunnels... Continue Reading →
Ok, the board for Episode 3 of Lurkers is quite full already. But, I have these other buildings that need to be built and painted. And I do mean need. They require it. Why do they require it? Mostly because I own them and they are great. To start, let's look at the houses that... Continue Reading →
A break from all of the terrain painting. There are always more miniatures that need painting. All of those Dracula minis from Crooked Dice aren't going to paint themselves, are they? And thank God they won't. How weird would that be? The Kickstarter came with four Asylum Inmates. There is also a miniature for Renfield.... Continue Reading →
Episode Two is built, but unplayed. We'll get to that soon, I'm sure. That just means there's time to look at the third Episode. This one sees the action move out of the industrial settings of the earlier Episodes and into town. This requires some more generic terrain, buildings that can be used in a... Continue Reading →
For the Lurkers from the Deep, Episode 2, the buildings and other large terrain are done. But the board itself is still lacking. The entire board is supposed to be an industrial dock. This means the main part of the board has to be elevated above water level. I've not worked with pink foam extensively... Continue Reading →
There is a lot of stuff going on in Episode 2 and lots of details on the board. By God, I'm going to make all of them. Except that little crane. F that crane. No time for that. Unless I can find one for cheap. Skip it. There is a boat. I have a boat.... Continue Reading →
Time to get back to Episode 1 and finish that board. It's been 95% complete for weeks now, with buildings and scatter and other terrain ready to go. All except the trains. A significant part of the board is tracks and there are some train cars taking up space and blocking line of sight. Sarrisa... Continue Reading →
Another small break from the Lurkers terrain building. I'm never going to finish with all of these breaks to paint other things. But the minis are just more fun to paint than the terrain. We start with a polar bear that doesn't really look like a polar bear. The odd shape and unrealistic look is... Continue Reading →
