Life in a snow globe

It is days like this that make me happy that my former employer pushed me into early retirement!
Many employees in Ottawa were told to work from home, had I still been employed that would not have been an option for me, as I was more directly involved in face to face interactions with my clients. Just thinking about how this type of day played out in the past sends shivers through me and once again reconfirms that I really needed to get away from my previous working life. 

From Value village and elsewhere...

Two different kids toys, the top one is some weird collectable set, each contains a different figure (of no use to me) but I think the containers, especially with the goo, and the 'useless' figures, look like vats with strange experimental subjects in them.

The other item are two Paw Patrol hovercrafts that I found at a value village.

Some classic Parroom Station minatures

Parroom Station tripods finally got some paint on them, other than the primer that was done years ago (maybe 5+)

The round cages were added for an AQMF game scenario the Harvest. They are based for Earth action, because of AQMF should they show up on Mars they will need to be re-based. Only one of them has been given a weapon, in this case a black smoke discharger. I have a heat ray for each of the other tripods that I will add once I am done with them for AQMF.

Here they are against some 18mm armoured infantry. They were nice models to build and paint it is a pity that the line is no longer available.

Sarissa - Arches, terrace homes and gaslamp alley buildings

I sense a trip to England this year for our pulp adventures!

This has been a rather productive week as I have managed to assemble 12 structures. Among the grouping is a church, three arches (two more to be built), add on bits for the arches to convert them to shops, numerous terrace houses, three gaslamp buildings including a pub, oh and one bandstand.

Eclipse, 4x at it's best

We got to play one of my all time favorite games, last night (early morning)
