Still no
camera. Working on getting one, but no luck yet. Painting a
bit, and working on transport boxes, nice quality paint rack cabinets,
and a foot-pedal operated DC fan so I can stop blowing on minis.
It's fun!
On a very bright note, multiple sword winner and
all-around great guy Todd Swanson is going to share this web space.
The gallery has now been split into "Todd" and "Zach" and "both"
instead of by manufacturer. I'm very glad to have him and I think
it will give both me and the site a shot in the arm.

This
is a great link for making a really nice looking base. It's in
German but you can get the gist of it from the pictures. I've got
a lot of uprooted vines and small trees in my yard so I should be able
to find some of the natural materials easily enough. Tree Base

The
classes were really good, and I hope/think everyone got a lot out of
them. I'll put some of the class materials up on the tips section
soon.
One clarification- my magnet supplier is AMAZING magnets, and
they are very good. Pics of my GD entry Galadriel and GenCon
entry from Dark Sword soon.
5/22/2008
The
"HOME" link now goes to the blog- just testing it out to see if it's
any good and if anyone actually looks at it before I make more changes.
5/15/2008
Added
both pieces from Baltimore Gamesday 2008 in the gallery. Also
added a tutorial on how I do NMM in the tips section. There are
some large pictures though, so if you have a slow connection you will
want to give it some time to load.
5/7/2008
Added
pics of Kelian Durek, from GenCon 2007. Last 2 pieces were for
Baltimore Games Day 2007. They'll be up soon and then, sadly
enough, I'll be all caught up.

Ok,
house is sort of in better shape and the new baby is old enough to sit for
a few minutes without screaming, so I can get back to the important
stuff. Of course I still don't have a great camera- we spent all
this money on a new one last year but the macro function isn't anywhere
near as good as the old Nikon I had. So I am still working on pictures
of last years Golden Demon entries, for fantasy single and LoTR single as well as the last 2 Rackham pieces that I did, over a year ago now!

Sorry it's been so long since updates, but work has been brutal! It's
taken me two months to finish, but here is the first of many (I'm
sure!) of Rackham's Cadwallon line. So much character in these sculpts
and the quality is great. My old camera died and I had to get a new
one, so it took me a couple of tries to get good pics. I actually had
some up a few days ago, but have replaced them tonight. I have the
whole line of Rackham paints now, and have had the opportunity to try
the new P3 paints as well. I hope to have a review up soon.
8/17/2006
GenCon was a lot of fun, as always. I was asked at
the last minute to participate in the Aces of Painting- speed painting
for charity. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though I'd never done it before.
My entry placed 5th in the contest, pics are now up in the gallery.
6/7/2006
Finally put Ehjin and the Lothlorien archer up on
ebay. You can finds links on the "for sale" page. New mini is Eschelius
the Ardent, from Rackham.
5/18/2006
Official Baltimore coverage is up on the GW site. I also put Ehjin de Vanth and a LoTR elf up in the "for sale" page.
5/17/2006
Baltimore was a lot of fun. I came away with gold
in both 40k single and LoTR single. Those figs are in the gallery now.
I'll have Ehjin de vanth and one of Haldir's rangers up for sale soon-
hopefully tomorrow.
5/06/2006
Only a few more days to go until Baltimore. I've
still got a lot of work to do, but I have 2 entries nearly done. Sorry
for the delay with no updates, but it's been tough gettng any painting
time lately.
3/04/06
Added pics of Ayane and Grimaldus to the gallery page.
2/22/06
Selling 2 unpainted Cynwall novas on Ebay. Check the
link from the for sale page. Also finished up Ayane for Rackham and
Grimaldus. Pics should be up soon."
2/07/06
Added a review of the Dragon Forge Design cables in the tips section.

I have completed switching hosts and it all looks
good! Email is up and now I have real forums! See the temporary link
above until I get a more permanent modification.
1/27/06
I'm changing web hosts, so please bear with me if
there's any downtime. I'll have pictures of the finished bishop up
within a day or two, and I'll reformat the review to be more readable.
Forums coming soon.
1/8/06
I have a ton of stuff in progress. Put a picture of
the finished Sessair archer I did for Rackham in the gallery. I should
have both the painted figure and the review done for the Bishop soon.
I'm also working on some cast resin bases, a Golden Demon piece and I
have taken on two commissions for the first time in a long time. More
to come soon.
12/14/05
It's been a bit since my last update, but it's been
busy! I have had a ton to do with work, but that's cleared up a bit
with the holidays so I should have some time to do some painting. I'll
have another Confrontation piece started soon and a review of the
Revelation Miniatures Bishop up in the tips page within a few days.
Also sent off the last parts of my NMM tutorial for the Darkson Designs
Vol II book.
10/26/05
I've put Phidias up on Ebay. Link from the "For Sale" page.
10/25/05
As promised, pictures of up of Varghar the wolfen and Dayak of a Hundred Lives.
10/19/05
Been a while since I posted any updates, been pretty
busy at work. However, I have finished Varghar and nearly done with
avangorok, both for Rackham. I'll have some pics posted within a week,
hopefully.
9/03/05
Finally revamped the "for sale" page. Added Phidias de Basarac to the Gallery and the "for sale" page.
9/01/05
I won the Golden Toadstools this month with the Queen
of the Clones. I consider myslef lucky since this is always a tough
competition, thanks everyone for the votes and comments. I added a few
larger pics and will try and enlarge the rest soon. I also put up two
new things in the gallery, both from the Toronto Golden Demons in 2004.
8/22/05
GenCon is over and we had a really good time. There
were some really, really good entries in the painting contest this
year, and I was lucky enough to get third place in both single figure
(with my converted Queen of the clones) and third in unit as well.
There's a convention report up on the tips page.
