In anticipation of a new terrain build – 15mm interiors something along the lines of Tiny Solitary Soldiers – here are a few pieces of scatter cover.  First up, three plastic trees.  These are repainted Toob Trees primed black and dry brushed up.   The bases of the trees are fortification pieces from...

My big birthday present this year turned out to be a new miniature carrying case.  The Almost Awesome Storage Case just wasn’t cutting the proverbial mustard any more.  My collection is getting wider and more varied, so it was time for a change.  Behold the Plano 1362 2-by Rack...

It’s time for the 10mm sci-fi figures in my collection to shuffle out of the regular rotation.  For a variety of reasons, I’m abandoning the scale.  There are too many great looking 15mm figures out there for me to ever buy and paint them all.  The selection is broader....

Man, I have got to find some decent scenarios for Flying Lead.  The boy and I lined up 450 points worth of evenly matched forces against each other and just did a shoot-em-til-they’re-dead match.  This time it was his space mercs (GZG) attacking my police force.  After more than...

Fat fingers?  Not me – I actually have tiny little girl hands, which serves a modeler like me well when it comes to putting together fiddly bits of terrain and figures.  Fiddly bits like these measuring sticks for the Song of… series.   Fat fingers or no, sometimes you...

The best local game shops in town is one of those cramped little shops crammed full of all sorts of odds and ends the store owner has collected over the last two decades.  It’s all too easy to while away a full hour digging through boxes of random game...

Yep.  So.  Got some paint on the farm fields.  Just need some dull coat to take the shine down a notch.  These fields give me three easily stored square-ish terrain blocks that will do a fine job blocking line of sight and travel times for ground pounders. This one...

Whatever you call the new version of D&D (“Next”, “Fifth Edition”, or just “D&D”), I’ve got my first RPG character in over five years.  My new group met last Friday night to roll up characters, and my son and I wound up with the spellcasters.  He’s got the boom-boom...

The single most important tool in a wargaming arsenal is probably one of the more over-looked – the humble table.  The last thirteen months Team Abox lived in a dingy and tiny little rental house while saving up for a mortgage.  Last month that dream came true, and my...
