Because I heard you were bored: Book #22 The Host by Stephanie Meyer
http://nonboring.blogspot.com/2009/07/book-22-host-by-stephanie-meyer.html
Because I heard you were bored. Stop by when no one's looking. including you. July 16, 2009. Book #22 The Host by Stephanie Meyer. The twenty-second book I read since May 2008 is:. Note: spoiler alert* *. I love a good story that explores what it means to be a person. The movie Blade Runner is one of the classic tales that ponders whether or not being born makes you human, or if it is something more. And this book held that possibility, with a reverse-telling of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Also unfor...

Because I heard you were bored. Stop by when no one's looking. including you. June 16, 2009. Book #21: Leading Geeks. The twenty-first book I read since May 2008 is:. I actually saw Glen speak a few years ago, and was promised a copy of his book at the time. I never got that copy, and turns out I didn't miss much. The book is decent, but I didn't learn anything in it that he didn't cover in his presentation. Labels: all about me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Your New England Patriots!

Randy's Craft: LARP Chest
http://randyfow.blogspot.com/2015/08/larp-chest.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. I made this chest for my son and I to share at LARP. I made a removable center divider in case we need one big chest. It also doubles as a sitting stool in the tent. Posted by Randy Carboni. August 13, 2015 at 4:30 AM. You are such a great craftsman Randy. Wish I had the sense of precision youve got. Are you going to put a finish on the chest? Or are you going to let it weather? Maybe a distressed finish would be cool. August 13, 2015 at 11:26 AM. American War for Independence.

Tim's Tanks: May 2014
http://timstanks.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 May 2014. Plastic Soldier Company 15mm Stuart Light Tank. The Hereford Model Centre has a box around the back that contains a small selection of PSC single sprue kits for £5. The choice doesn't change too often, but a few weeks ago I spotted both the Stuart and Cromwell kits, so I grabbed them quick. The Stuart sprue intrigued me as it contains no less than three different upper hulls and two sets of tracks. This got me thinking. Maybe, but I couldn't get the blooming new hull out in one piece!

Tim's Tanks: PSC's The Great War - speed painting the figures
http://timstanks.blogspot.com/2015/07/psc-great-war_5.html
Sunday, 5 July 2015. PSCs The Great War - speed painting the figures. Next step with the figures has been to block in all the main colours. Everything has been given a coat of paint except the flesh areas and the bases. To do both sprues has taken collectively about 4 hours. Now the figures will receive a coat of slightly diluted Vallejo Sepia wash. When that is dry the flesh areas will be painted and washed and the bases too. Let's hope I've got some time to spare tomorrow,. 6 July 2015 at 08:14.

Tim's Tanks: PSC's The Great War - Painting the figures almost complete
http://timstanks.blogspot.com/2015/07/psc-great-war-painting-almost-complete.html
Saturday, 11 July 2015. PSCs The Great War - Painting the figures almost complete. I've reached the point where all the figures have been removed from the sprue, and touched up, ready for varnish spray. I managed to remove all the Brits without breaking a single bayonet. The secret is to cut this connection to the sprue FIRST. Use decent side cutters to do so and you remove the tension from the figure, so when you gut the other sprue connections the natural springiness won't break the bayonet. Border Rei...

Tim's Tanks: PSC the Great War
http://timstanks.blogspot.com/2015/07/psc-great-war_13.html
Monday, 13 July 2015. PSC the Great War. Just surfing on the interweb and came across this quote from The Great War's c reator Will Townshend, PSC Games on February 17. The metal command figures set is an exclusive reward to Kickstarter backers. It comprises 8 x 15mm/ 1 100th scale general figures beautifully sculpted by a talented sculptor I know. There will be a British/ANZAC/Commonwealth, French, German, Russian, US, Austro-Hungarian, Italian, and Turkish General in the set. They'll be quicker to depl...

Tim's Tanks: July 2014
http://timstanks.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 July 2014. I've long held a wargaming dream of re fighting the coup de main attack on Pegasus Bridge on the night before D-Day 1944. Now I'm finally close to living the dream. I've slowly but surely been beavering away on the models I require to achieve this. Nevertheless it looks the part and will make a fine objective. The control building is a little too big, but can accommodate based figures inside. Next I'm working on dug in Germans and some barbed wire entanglements. Links to this post.

Tim's Tanks: June 2015
http://timstanks.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 June 2015. Peter Laing - 15mm Miniatures. I was looking on the Internet the other day an saw several references to the figures of Peter Laing. Many were complementary of their charm and simplicity but inevitably there were the usual comments from some TrollGamers about them being the worst figures ever. He was a dear old chap, probably in his 60's then, and took the time to show me his manufacturing process. In those early days, the likes of Milliput and Green Stuff hadn't been dreamt up yet, ...
