The best things in life are actually really expensive. Success is just failure that hasn’t happened yet. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it. Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines. Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe. I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally. I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is you’re stupid and make bad decisions. Everyone has a purpose in life. Perhaps yours is watching television. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. I’ve developed a new philosophy. I only dread one day at a time.

Terrain and Miniatures

Over the weekend I applied a stippled paintjob and some half-assed weathering to my recently printed 15mm buildings. I need to add further details to make them appear more lived-in, but at least they’re now acceptable for the tabletop.

The larger building off to the right is a Norman house from Patrick Miniatures. I still need to clean it up a bit, but that’s really only from the brim I chose to print with; otherwise, it’s fair to say that the piece printed wonderfully (considering the uncalibrated state of my printers!).

The house (and a few companion pieces) go with these items, which comprise the start of a 28mm WWII project intended for playing out platoon (+) actions in NW Europe, ~1944:
