Look!! A Shiny New Toy!!!

The title above would usually mean new miniatures that I don't have time to paint. Usually.

However, this time it means something else. And that is:

http://webogre.wordpress.com/

This might mean a new hideout for the Webogre, but it is only currently in the test phase. I will probably post to both for a month or so. After that I should make an annoucement about which way I've decided.

My first thoughts are that I have a lot more flexibility in how I arrange some things and in how I can make them appear on the page. On the con side, this flexibility means a little more complexity. But nothing too overblown that only a code-monkey could understand. (Sorry for the code-monkey reference Mike and any other code-monkeys.) (It comes from a router-monkey; it could be worse and come from a Windows-server-monkey...)

So. I'll say goodbye for now and drop me a line on what yo think of the new blog.

It's Been Awhile...

No, really. Almost two weeks. Whew. Well the main reason is that I was trying to get 1352 StuG Abteilung done in time for the tournament that was on the 15th.

If you look to the left at The Pipeline you should notice they are not marked as done. There is much progress though. But, honestly, I sat down at the paint table on Wednesday evening and just realized that I wasn't going to have all of the StuG's done to the standard of the other three I already have and I wasn't going to do that.

You see, I made something of a commitment awhile ago that I wasn't going to field anything unless it was painted. Especially in a competition. This has been a little hard to accomplish as I am not very fast when it comes to painting. I am getting somewhat better as the 10.5 Howitzers that there is a photo of below I got painted in about 4 days not counting getting them based and primed. That is very quick for me.

Also below is the Secret Project - A Tiger II!

This is the old model; my new one has a concave hull that needs to be replaced.

Hopefully, I can get the StuG's done soon so it doesn't take me 2 weeks to post again.

My secret is out...

End of a lovely three day weekend and was perusing 'Blogland', as Dave Woodward refers to it, and discoverd that my plot to obtain the much-touted and highly secretive Musketeer Miniatures Ghulams has been outed by a somewhat overzealous minion. I shall have to ponder what to do with this unexpected turn of events. Do I continue to have Bob keep Mike captive and wait for the ghulams? What about Bill? Should he live to sculpt another pirate or more saxons? (Those saxons are very lovely...) Am I hungry?Is it time for lunch? Do I attempt to sweep the whole thing under the rug and paint up my Stug company?

Many questions are asked and a couple deserve answers. I am hungry and the Stugs are based and are only in need of primer.

Mwa Ha Ha!
