Hallo...



Here are the two entries I posted for the WYRD Rotten Harvest Contest....not good enough to place or anything, but I got several nice comments...

You can click on them for bigger pics....The top ones are some maniacs called the Twins, produced by The Wargames Foundry. I tried to make the base look like they were in a junkyard. The lower fella is called 'The Cutter'. Very unusual miniature from Jim Bowen. I liked the creepy feel it had to it.

Still working on various minis, but not getting the time I need or want to do that. I kind of gave up on the novel contest, I got 3000 words done, but soon got bored....Oh well.

Ready for Winter....

I figured there won't be to many days left to go outside and prime minis, so I best get a bunch done while I can.The humans are all Alpha Forge crewmembers. There is a big half assembled Alpha Forge Demo bot in the back (waiting for some more conversion work I am doing) and two SuperFigs! minis. The cool looking robot to the left should be fun to paint. Haven't decided on schemes for any of them.

I did manage to finish and upload two entries to the WYRD Rotten Harvest 2 Contest. They pale in comparision to what else is there, but its fun to compete nonetheless. I can't identify which are mine, per contest rules, until after the judging is complete.

I also finished one of the CRYPTO Critters from Crunch Waffle, the Jack-a-lope. Cute little bugger....I'll take photos when I am finished with the rest of them.

I also decided to enter a crazy 'writers' contest. The month of November is designated National Novel Writers Month. The contest is simply to come up with a 50,000 word novel in 1 month. Doesn't matter what the topic is, if its good, or anything. The goal is to FINISH the novel. I doubt anyone will ever read it, but I am writing one...

So, who knows? By the end of this month, I could be a novelist....
