Kickstarter Watch - Bob Naismith's Overrunners

 What can I say but Wow! These are the kind of Sci-Fi minis that I have really been looking for, although Reaper's IMEF minis were pretty darn close. This one is a bit pricey so I'm not sure I can get in on it especially with a big vacation coming up in May. The renders look amazing, I would like to see some prints though and see how that compares to the renders. On the other hand I have always been a fan of his regular sculpts so I doubt you could go wrong with these anyway.

Care Package from Hasslefree

Last week turned out to be a little rougher than I expected. I changed internet providers on Wednesday, the tech came out and, in theory, hooked everything up. To his credit he did make the change at the main box correctly. It took six days for another technician to make it out to take a look. Took him less than 10 minutes to get it working again. 

I also ended up helping a friend get projects done around their house to get it ready to sell, hopefully this Friday. That kept me away from my hobbies for the rest of the week. Of course I could have had the Hasslefree box if I had been in on Saturday, instead I had to go to the post office and pick it up today.

This box contain my selections of minis from my $200 gift certificate for winning the Best Hasslefree entry at ReaperCon. I'm looking forward to sitting down and working on some of these. I will need to finish off that TD Company first though.

Now, on to the box opening!

Nothing quite as exciting as a box from the UK

Okay I admit it, there was candy in there, that disappeared pretty quick.

The first 15 minis, mostly sci/fi military adventurer types, including the Not-Scooby Gang. 

The next 13.

And the big piece, Crystal 54mm in Resin

Looking forward to painting this one.

Diorama - Building the Base IV

I'm getting close to finally wrapping up the building portion on the base. I'm filling in some of the imperfections and crumbling other things to get the "feel" I want. The only thing I'm on the fence about is whether I should put something in the windows or not. There is already a lot going on and I don't want the story to lose focus. Sometimes I think its a good idea and sometimes I don't! Either way though I need to get curtains in the window to at least serve as a view block to the interior of the building. I have downloaded some period posters that I'll use to help further set the time period. The end is in sight!
