Future project?!?

 Not certain what I will do with this, but who doesn't need a 16" Godzilla!

Godzilla resting on my easy chair in the game room, after all if you are Godzilla you pretty much sit where you want to!

Another nice item from Value Village (the radar dish is from my parts box)

This certainly has seen better days, but I think there is enough to make something from it. It is missing some doors, and maybe some weapons (I see holes that I assume would hold weapons)
Certainly good bones, and doors and weapons can easily be replaced.

What to do, what to do? (Subtitle: A privilege problem)

As 2019 draws to a close, I ponder the imponderable, what shall I do in the new year?
This is no mere traditional end of a year/new year resolution thing (I do not like traditions, particularly the whole tradition of New Year resolutions). It is true, that I am assessing my involvement in the gaming hobby, evaluating my interest level and trying to come up with some idea of what I will do in the new year. I'm sure you know the thought patterns; what will I work on, should I just play board games, how do I motivate myself to tackle the unpainted pile, how do I become more productive, will I ever pick up a paint brush again, that sort of thing.

Beyond the whole gaming introverted navel gazing, another non gaming matter is impacting on my life, namely that as of January 2020 I transition from the ranks of the employed to a retired man of leisure.

UPDATE 12/22

It's a bug hunt

This past weekends game day turned out to be a board game day. While the siege game was indeed still set up, the participants decided to forgo playing it out to it's conclusion. Instead the Aliens board game occupied most of the afternoon! Who am I to argue?

It's baaackk!

The powers that be have seen fit to return the missing part. Keen eyes will no doubt note that this is essentially the same picture that I previously used, just filtered a bit differently. Rest assured the actual part has returned to me, appearing before my eyes on the floor. The fact that I was finally cleaning my room just prior to a Saturday game day surly had nothing to do with it, as I still maintain that it was poltergeists!  Certainly where it appeared was at least three feet, and on the other side of the table from where I sat and where I had placed the part originally.

Once found I immediately reunited the part with the other piece in the pictured container.

I would of course show you a picture of the two together, if not for the fact that two days after the return of the missing part, I , well, I seem to have somehow mislaid the container. Surely the spirits would not be so cruel as to take it a second time.

Well at least they are together once again, somewhere in my room....

Sigh!

ULLA!

No one would have believed in the last days of November 2019, that Martian forces that had for so long remained unassembled, and buried in boxes would soon see the light of day as fully built and primed models. Few friends even considered the possibility that I could start and finish a project, and yet for reasons only minds immeasurably superior to mine, could fathom, I started to think about the game All Quiet on the Martian Front. I started to regard the pictures of the great work done by other gamers, with envious eyes, and slowly, and surely, I drew up my plans, to work on my collection.

First I got the music to listen to while I worked. Next I located the unassembled miniatures, all that was remained was the motivation.

Guess what, I found that too!

Excuse for only priming about 30 figures today

Another great day for priming, something like 5 degrees Celsius, so with the heater on in the garage it would be okay, but  it was also a good day to decorate the house. I gave in and went with the house decorating, should annoy the neighbors a lot more and for longer...

Saturday, primarily a priming day

Who knew you could over exert oneself snipping bits of metal off of the feet of metal miniatures...?

Bombs awaaaayyyy! The siege has begun.

The long delayed siege game was started at last.

We used Tactica siege rules, and translated Orcs and Dwarfs into the system. All the siege towers were scratch built many, many years ago, as was the hoarding, and the mantlets.  Some items weather the ravages of time better than others, but none escaped any damage. The walls are of course the old Warhammer mighty fortress walls. GW also supplied the defenders weapons, most of the attackers and defenders, and the classic cardboard buildings.

Day two of the great search

Well, 24 hours later and still no sign of the missing part!
As you can see, I have carefully placed the remaining piece in a sealed plastic container.

It's happened again...

Scene of the extra dimensional event

...but this time I know I did not move!
Therefore I can assume I have finally witnessed, and can confirm the existence of micro wormholes.
