http://commander-nearsight.blogspot.com/2012/10/figure-salvage-part-3.html
The Adventures of Commander Nearsight. Sunday, October 7, 2012. Figure Salvage, part 3. I was interviewed by Pat from the 11th Company Podcast. This evening, talking about this blog and my series on removing paint from old figures. I appreciate Pat's interest in this series of articles and I hope you find the interview informative. What material is the figure made of? What sort of paint has been applied to the figure? The other part of the process is gap-filling. Putting together figures takes some s...

The Adventures of Commander Nearsight. Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Review: Paulson Games' Mecha Bits. Greetings everyone, sorry for the delay in posts. As usual that whole 'real life' thing got in the way. Rest assured I've been working away on my new Tau army and am getting closer to being able to have a playable force ready to go. In addition to the Tau Battleforce box I acquired to start my army, a friend (Thanks Tim! First up, the railguns. I ordered both the 'long' and 'short' models of the rai...

The Adventures of Commander Nearsight: Figure Salvage, Part 1
http://commander-nearsight.blogspot.com/2012/09/figure-salvage-part-1.html
The Adventures of Commander Nearsight. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Figure Salvage, Part 1. As I was saying, gamers like to save cash, and one way people do that is by buying used figures. There are many places you can get good deals online on used figures including eBay. 1 Metal Tau Ethereal. 2 Metal Tau Pathfinders with Rail Rifles. 22 Assembled Fire Warriors. Not too shabby, and a hell of a lot cheaper than buying every thing new. 40 of Used Tau. Note the irregular paint jobs. From what I've heard.

The Adventures of Commander Nearsight: A few updates
http://commander-nearsight.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-few-updates.html
The Adventures of Commander Nearsight. Saturday, August 11, 2012. Real life intrudes and keeps me from crafting large blog posts let alone figures. Apologies for the delay in a second post. Work has heated up for me along with the summer youth sports season, which has meant my Tuesday night forays to Armored Ogre have been delayed until September. In the meantime, here are a few notes about what I've been working on. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogs for the Greater Good. TFP: The Badab Project.

The Adventures of Commander Nearsight: The Genesis of Warhammer 40K
http://commander-nearsight.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-genesis-of-warhammer-40k.html
The Adventures of Commander Nearsight. Friday, September 21, 2012. The Genesis of Warhammer 40K. The Warhammer family of tabletop games has been around for a long time, with the original Warhammer 40K (aka Rogue Trader) being released in 1987. What many gamers may not know was that some of the original concepts behind the game and the universe were formed well before that year, even before the original Warhammer Fantasy Battle rules were published. And the Inquisition as well. Laserburn and Imperial comm...

The Adventures of Commander Nearsight: July 2012
http://commander-nearsight.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Commander Nearsight. Saturday, July 21, 2012. Welcome to my new blog, everyone. I set this blog up to cover my re-entrance into Games Workshop games after a few decades away from them. I've been gaming since the early 1980's, mostly doing historical miniatures but I've dabbled in lots of periods and types of gaming over that time. I've played RPG's, board games, fantasy, sci-fi and of course historicals during the course of my gaming 'career.'. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Adventures of Commander Nearsight: Figure Salvage, Part 2
http://commander-nearsight.blogspot.com/2012/09/figure-salvage-part-2.html
The Adventures of Commander Nearsight. Friday, September 28, 2012. Figure Salvage, Part 2. In our last post I showed you some used Tau figures I picked up in a deal recently. The first step towards cleaning them up and repainting them to match my army is to strip off the old coats of paint. Here are shots of the figures after 24 hours in Simple Green:. Plastic Fire Warriors after Simple Green. The metal figures were even worse. You can hardly tell any difference. With Simple Green not cutting the mustard...
