Squid Trooper and Hoppalong Sidekick

I finished the Squid Trooper. A lot of it was just me playing around with some colors and techniques.




Also painted a rabbit from a pack of familiars. Orange, of course.



Wrapping up a dragon (commission) some Empire stuff and some ECW. Still trying to figure out what I want to pain for myself after all that.

It's Official; plus: Actual Painted Figures

It's official, I am now a married man.


We risked in outdoor wedding in October and everything turned out great. We had a wonderful time, and the next day, we hit the road...



...to a cabin in the woods in south-western Ohio for four days. It's my favorite area for vigorous driving. We also spent a good deal of time hiking around state parks & caves, grilling outside and we even rented some ATVs one afternoon. It was definitely a city boy's adventure out of his element. And a lot of fun.


We came back and I got a little bit of time at the painting desk, though we've both caught some post-wedding plague, so I've been a bit out of it the past few days.

Below is a WIP shot of one of Wargames Factory's Shock Trooper models (or "shock squid" as I'm calling this one.) I got a sample sprue in with a recent package, and thought I'd paint a couple up just for fun.

You can also see a few sample figures from the upcoming War of Spanish Succession kit that I painted for them, at their web page. Better photos are forthcoming -- these were just a bit of a teaser photo. I've been holding out for someone to do some later 18th century kits (like AWI or SYW) but I think I may end up tempted into the WSS after all.
