SANTA WAS HERE!!!!

Yep, the big guy in the red suit and his reindeer made an appearance last night and dropped off some wonderful goodies for the family.  My little one received the bike and keyboard she wanted and she was beyond excited.

Santa also left me some gaming goodies.  First off my Secret Santa gift exchange, which Chris Stoessen arranged.  Santa dropped off 3 bases of 10mm Carthaginians for my Punic Wars project.  THANK YOU SANTA!!!!!








Next up my family gave me some goodies.  They are GMT's Saints in Armor, X-Wing and the book The Brusilov Offensive.  Can't wait to dive into all three of these.




I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and were able to spend it with family and friends.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!


FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS, WE WISH YOU A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY AND A JOYOUS NEW YEAR!!!!

New Painting Racks

For some time I've been trying to decide how to change the way I store my paints.  I have quite a mix between Folkart, Ceramcoat, Vallejo, Foundry, Winton Oils and Amsterdam acrylic tubes that it was starting to get out of hand.  The system I was using had 12 small plastic boxes with all of the paints sorted by color. I'm color blind and keeping them labeled helps me greatly.  
The biggest amount of paint I owe comes from Vallejo.  So after asking around on TMP and Lead Adventure Forum this company was suggested: Kraken Skulls.   Their painting racks hold 48 bottles of paint of the Vallejo size and are rather inexpensive at $15 a piece.  So I ordered 3 of them.
The racks come unassembled but are easy to put together.  You need to glue them together to help with keeping them rigid.   The other nice thing about them is the ability to hang them on a wall.  I've saved some cabinet space and can add some more terrain in there.
