Saturday Painting - 03051: Orin Ramheim, Dwarf Warrior
Sat down today to do something very different from painting WWI US Marines. I finally went to work on my character miniature for our Saturday night game. I prepped him last night. Did the typical file work, added him to a base, converted his chainmail to leather with some greenstuff and sculpted the base to match the rocks he is standing on. Heading down to the workshop about 10 this morning and had him finished 4-5 hours later. He's just drying long enough for me to seal him and get him into the game tonight!

Kickstarter - Bones II The Return of Mr Bones - Pledge and Shipping Calculator
If you haven't at least taken a look at this new Kickstarter from Reaper you must be hiding under a rock or your internet connection has been down. Now approaching 1.5 million dollars with 17 days to go, its moving along a very steady pace. One of the controversies has been around Reaper's decision to charge ROW (Rest of the World) backers actual shipping charges. Everything up to this point has been only an estimate but today Kit unleashed his newly updated "Pledge Calculator". With this handy little device you can choose your options and determine what the shipping charge is likely to be. It also ties in directly with Kickstarter so you can actually update your pledge directly from the calculator and when the Bones II ends it will become the Pledge Manager so you won't have to do much but confirm your choices when its all said and done. I imagine it also will be giving Reaper a big heads up right up front on what kind of production numbers they will need for each piece. Pretty clever folks over there. So go take a look and decide if this is the Kickstarter for you. Oh, the piece count is not as high as it was for Bones I but the miniatures in the core seat are significantly larger, so no big swarms of tiny little kobolds and goblins, this time you get the big stuff.

Birthday Week - Giveaway
Here is the loot that will be randomly given away:
1) Reaper Mouslings: Two of these are currently in production 3577 Asiago Jones and 3576 Lara Craft. The third I can't find so I think he is the Convention Mousling from 2011. All I can tell you is he is wearing a badge.
2) And now a book: The Southern Pacific in Los Angeles. I had picked this up thinking that it would have some information on the ATSF Warehouse district. There were a couple of references to the ATSF in the book but not what I had hoped for.
3) McVey Studios - Vianna. I bought this one when it first came out and set it aside, the detail is so fine that it kind of scared me. Later Marike Reimer won the first Crystal Brush with this piece and I bought it again forgetting that I already had it.
4) Sante Fe...Steel Rails Through California, quite frankly I'm not sure where or when I picked this one up but it doesn't cover the area I'm interested in!
5) Victoria Lamb Miniatures Torgo's Trench Raiders. I love Victoria Lamb's work and I just picked these up from her when she came down to Texas after ReaperCon. If they had been her Imperial Guard minis I would have kept them but I can't think of anything I'm going to do with them. Hopefully somebody can use these beautiful pieces. She does great work.
6) Another book! The Polar Bears: Monty's Left Flank, Patrick Delaforce. Somehow along the line I managed to pick up two copies of this one.
7) Defiance Games UAMC Infantry. When this hit the market I was very excited about it because I was thinking about doing Traveller in 28mm. I have since changed my mind and have gone to 15mm instead. So these are surplus. And no I never received the special edition Marine Sgt that was supposed to be shipped because I pre-ordered it.
8) Okay, something a little different for the model railroaders. An Exact Rail, Platinum Series Southern Pacific 62' Insulated Box Car in HO Scale. I bought this for my ATSF Warehouse District without paying attention to the length and its a bit to long for the layout. It won't make the curve in the brick canyon I have planned.
9) From Dark Sword Miniatures a Keith Parkinson MAsterworks Box DSM 2002. I have intended to paint these for years but the sculpts just don't appeal to me.
10) And now another Exact Rail, Platinum Series 62' Insulated Box Car for the D&RGW in HO Scale.
11) The last item up is another Dark Sword Miniatures Caldwell DSM 3001. Again something I intended to paint but the sculpts don't appeal to me. Maybe they will appeal to someone else.
12) The last one is a book I stumbled across and I think its a must if you are interested in WWI,
"His Time in Hell, A Texas Marine in France". The World War I memoir of Warren R Jackson. He fought from Verdun through Belleau Wood to the end of the War as part of the 6th Marine Regiment. A fascinating memoir that simply needs to be shared. I hope somebody out there will enjoy it.
So there are a dozen items, my gifts to you.
Here are the rules (because I'm a gamer and there must be rules).
1) You must be a public follower of my blog (just click that nifty follower button on the right if you aren't a follower all ready). Sounds kind of like a cult but that's the rule.
2) Make a comment in this post (Like Santa Claus I will be cross checking followers to comments) and tell me what bits of loot you are interesting in (yes, you can just be in for all of them). This comment gets you one entry into the drawing for each item you are interested in.
3) There are no bonuses for additional comments! I have enough to do without counting how many times you manage to comment ;-)
4) There is a bonus for linking this post on your own blogs though. That will get two additional entries into each of the drawings you are interested in. Although you do have to tell me about it, especially if you are brand new, shiny follower.
5) The cut-off date is May 29th and I'll announce the winners a couple of days after that. Hopefully I'll be able to ship everything out during the first week of June or so.
Thanks and Good Luck!
