The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Never a dull moment

It has been quite a while since I last updated, and in the interim I have been keeping myself quite occupied. I'm sure a number of you were probably wondering if the lack of updates was due to me killing myself in a horrible pressure casting accident, but I can assure you that not only is that not the case, I have had wondrous success with the whole process. In any event, an absence of nearly two months is inexcusable, but I'm going to try and explain anyway.

Its been an exceptionally busy time for me! Finals, law school, and graduation have all been keeping my free time fairly well tied up, but I am happy to say that my courses are all done with and I have successfully run the gauntlet of graduation at Rutgers.

Its not been just school keeping me busy, either; I've been caring for a baby squirrel! The little dude took a big fall out of his nest and landed on his head, but fortunately someone was around to see him take the dive. Since both of my folks are vets, he was brought to us. Because of his little 'incident' he is blind in one eye, but damn if he still isn't the cutest thing I've ever seen. We've not yet named him, but the lack of an eye and the drunken swagger suggests a pirate theme. I need to craft him a jaunty eyepatch.

Moving on.

With any luck, I will be at Gamesday Baltimore on June 14th to enter a fully painted gargant into the vehicle category. I've been withholding pictures of it's painted state so far to build the tension, though I realize my absence has probably not done much to help with that. I may throw out a picture or two as the day approaches, but I am hoping it's first public, painted outing will be there, at Gamesday. I don't expect to win or even come close, but it'll be a nice way to start off my first Gamesday ever.

In anticipation for the event, I've made myself a completely ridiculous T-shirt. Behold!

Like I said, completely ridiculous, but it should be fun to wear at Gamesday despite the fact that I am sure nobody will have any idea what it means. Surprisingly enough, a couple people I showed it to were interested in getting their own, so I uploaded a high resolution version to zazzle.com that you can order as a Dark T-shirt in a variety of colors and sizes. I didn't honestly expect anyone to buy these, but a couple people who are going to GD Balt already have, and I think it would be absolutely hilarious if we got a bunch of people down there wearing them. I wonder how many it would take for GW to start noticing.

The one I crafted for myself has the logo for The Warforge shamelessly emblazoned on the front, with the turbosquig on the back. I encourage anyone who recognizes me with this to come up and say hello, because I've somehow managed to trick my girlfriend into thinking that a trip to Baltimore is a vacation. She'll be with me at the event and I think if she still loves me after hearing all the super-nerd-talk that I will invariably engage in, I will be a lucky man.

There's much more to talk about, but at least I've made a start.
