Hello everyone, I finally got some time to work on a painting project that I've been itching to do. Many months ago I bought several 54mm white metal Viking castings. They are from Miles Publius' Runecraft range. I just started in on my favorite one, a particularly menacing looking figure...

Hi all, I recently completed a 54mm diorama and wanted to share some photos. This was a commission piece based on another version of the same concept I composed several year ago. The figures are Aeroart. I hope you enjoy the photos! Joe

I'll never forget listening to my 8 track tape of Van Halen I in my bedroom, and the way the sound jumped from the speakers like nothing else. Eddie had a game changing tone, complete command and innovative flash like no other. I'm so thankful I got to see him live. Like all the great ones he...

My endless winter diorama featuring the beleaguered French on the retreat after being chased out of Russia in 1812 is finally done! What I believe to be First Legions's finest ever figures and Tolstoy's War and Peace were the inspiration to produce the composition. At times I felt as if I was...

I always look forward to the women's world cup. It so refreshing to watch soccer without all the ridiculous diving and pleading for calls that is rampant in the men's game. The women dive too, but it's very rare (aside from Brazil). I've watched most of the matches and have been giving my dvr...

It was a great surprise to see Nicholas from Crown Military Miniatures at the show! He has a wide array of St George's Cross figures and FL and others. As he so often does, Nick really gets into it and arrived decked out a full uniform!!! Check out his badass self in the pics!
