Mass MoCA-chino

Hi,

So on Saturday I went out to North Adams to visit the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. As always it was a fantastic time.

And here's what we saw )

After that, it was time to drive home...through the twisty mountain roads...in the dark. But I'm posting so obviously we made it. But yeah, Mass MoCA has some great stuff going on and if you can get out to see it, you should.

Tiny Construction Work

Hi,

So I've been remiss in not updating my various miniature gaming projects. So let's take stock of what I've been doing this summer. There's two parts so there's going to be two posts. First up, more terrain.

So I've greatly expanded the range of buildings and urban terrain I have available for my games. I can probably do some of the denser urban scenarios which should be a lot of fun. Hopefully this will all get to the table soon.

Garish little dudes

Hi,

So I did more than paint buildings this summer. I also painted (and am still painting) some little dudes.

There's a company out of Poland called Assault Publishing that puts out wargame rules and miniatures. They do a line of 15mm sci fi and the human faction is called the New Vistula Legion. A fellow gamer was selling off a huge lot of them at discount prices so I snapped it up. I figure they'll be good opponents for my professionally painted group and just good sci-fi figures in general.

I've gone though about half the figures and have enough of them organized that I can show them off. So let's see what I've done so far...

The Poor Bloody Infantry )

Anyway, that's all the figures so far. Next up are the snipers/scouts/LRRP teams, then the support weapon teams and finally the company HQ and a set of TV crews. Should be a lot of fun.
