If you must, feel free to insert a cliched “not dead yet” joke here. (That’s what most bloggers do when they return after an extended absence.)   Instead of that, I’m just going to stick with a meta-not-dead-yet joke instead. At any rate…here are a couple of shots of the...

Happy Independence Day! Here’s a couple of quick shots of the new public utilities board from the tabletop:...

Two posts in one week?  I’m just the eager little beaver.  Good wife willing and the creek don’t rise, I may get a chunk more done this three day weekend. Part of my seedy underbelly board got reclaimed by my daughter this past week.  That forced me to add...

Couple of quick shots of what my little mans are going to be seeing when they fight over these nine square feet of battlefield....

More dropped weapons today.  This time it’s the smokescreens first previewed here.  First up, a distant shot to show what they look like from a distance, and then a close up view of the texture. As always, click images for more details. These are scraps of soft, but stiff, packing...
