  • The days of painting Salamanders for Adepticon have waned. In the immortal words of Alice C., “School’s out for Summer!” And, for the moment, I’m still unemployed. Throw in a much-appreciated invitation to participate in an Apocalyptic reprisal of the 3rd Battle for Armageddon, and it’s time to do some...

  • I have written and deleted a half dozen witty blog posts about this Land Raider but, in retrospect, none of the them have been sufficient.  I’ll stop stumbling through my futile attempts at prose, and let the pictures speak for themselves.  Before I go, however, there are three things you...
