Been a non-starter of a year for me, thanks to work and general life. Sucks, because I have people waiting on me to get stuff painted for them - Jacob at Ral Partha Legacy for one. I managed to get a couple big pieces done for him, just so he doesn't have to wait forever to get something. By the way, Jacob Fathbruckner is a top-shelf, patient guy and you should buy tons of miniatures from him.

| The cannon was fun to paint. The tiny crew? Less fun. |
First off, here's a steam cannon with human crew. Once I figured out how to assemble it, I really liked painting the cannon itself. The crew, on the other hand, were a bit of a chore as old RP sculpts are SUPER tiny compared to today's miniatures. On top of that, my eyes aren't quite up to the task anymore (see older post with glasses), so I regretfully have to forgo things like eyes on most of these - in fact, only the leader has them as the sculpt has larger, accessible eyes. Still, happy with how they turned out, despite how crappy the picture looks (also see older posts concerning my inability to take good pictures. The camera on my Galaxy 21 is a pox...)

| What's worse than a bunch of goblins? Blurry goblins. |
These got done too, and are kind of the reverse of the steam cannon - the crew and wolves went quick, but the chariots were tedious. Probably because of all the stuff I tacked onto them, like shields, weapons and heads. Me being me, I just couldn't glue them to the chariots - oh no, I had to PIN the suckers on (these tiny, tiny pieces). Worth it, as (once again) the models look great in real life over my pictures. I/m probably going to poach the pictures Jacob takes and put them up here later, just so I don't look so bad ;)
