SNOOPY FLIES!

 Happy Halloween everyone.

I am quickly putting on two of the finished images of a yard display I have worked on this month.

All materials (other than the screws and fender washers - which I already had) were sourced from scrap materials or other odds'n'ends that were otherwise going to dry up (the modeling paste) or become unusable, much of the wood was from a couple of packing crates that were junked at Sayward dump days.

Snoopy all pilot like
this one will go up on November 1

the main event for Halloween
Snoopy fighting the Red Baron!

The gunner Snoopy will be lit with a 200 lumen light with a red filter ... unless it is too hard to see (my son gets to make that call) then the red filter gets taken off.

Have a great night everyone!

workbench progress

 I have come to realize that I will not get another opportunity to post anything here in October.

There are a number of things I have been working on, a whole village of complete and burn out versions of buildings, that were found in the 15mm collection - they were stiff card, so either left overs from Jeff or possibly some that Dave was shedding in the last two years.  They are going to be ready to use in November, though the work has gone slowly after a fast start at the beginning of the month.  

We discovered that there were needs for repairs at the old house, still for sale, and that more of the scrap wood and other things needed to be dumped, so out we went to do all of that.  Along the way I found some scrap pieces that could finally create something of a yard display that I have always wanted to do.

just a teaser ...

 The entire project is almost done and I only need to do up some mounting items and get the first of it ready for Halloween Day, then a fast change into Halloween Night (in time for the tricks'n'treats).  The full project details will be shared early in November, likely with the buildings previously mentioned and possibly the completion of the Alpian Wars game.

Alpian Wars to rise again!

 At a minimum there will be at least one tabletop game using the Alpian Wars miniatures game set from the hand of Bluebear Jeff, there is a rumor that a mini-campaign - which was designed for use by these miniatures in 2012 - will be started ...

Stagonian Command from 2023

At the very least there will be an after action report here following the first game in October or November.
