Family Diorama

I finally finished the diorama of my Great Great Grandfather in time to give it to my father on Christmas. Grandfather was part of the Powhatan Artillery from Powhatan VA. commanded by Capt Dance. Their unit was stationed in the defenses around Richmond when Union force nearly overran his battery, if not for the timely arrival of a Tennessee unit. In the fighting my Grandfather lost his arm and his brother. In memory of their sacrifice I wanted to capture the battle in a diorama and give it to my father as a gift. It was my first diorama I have ever made. In the center are two costume made miniatures of my ancestors by a sculptor in Russia. As an exact account of the battle is not available I took some cinematic liberties. We do come up pone a letter written by another soldier who was at the battle and I have used it as a guide.

First up is the letter about the battle.

Next here are some of the Work In Progress pictures.

And finally the finished product:

Frostgrave is back

After 3d printing and painting a bunch ruins I finally got another game of Frostgrave in. Have to say I really loves these set of rules and they play so well on a nice crowded table.

First some shots of the table setup:

My Warband ready to go.

Action shots. In the end I ended up having to men knocked out (one later died) but got away with 1 more treasure. 

Eastern Ukraine game

Some photos from late last year where Pro-Russian Separatist where trying to keep Government forces from capturing a Russian "adviser".

More 3D Printed terrain.

Continuing to work on Printer quality and start some new projects.

The start to a Anglo-Saxon village wall

A section of ruined building for Frostgrave and D&D.

7 of 9 boats I'm printing for trade for a bunch of Galloping Major packs.

4 Grounds WW1 Terrain

One of the Black Friday deals I took advantage of was a sale at 4 Grounds. Got their Eastern European collection and a Ruined House for use in my WW1 games. Never had much terrain for that theater but with 2 respectable armies I thought it was about time.

The largest of the 3. Nice thing about all of them is the exterior doors all work.

The roof is not quite done. I need to go over it with some watered down PVA glue and put the chimney on.

And finally the ruined house, just to add a feeling of combat to the battle field.
