The Historical Miniaturist

Welcome! With a historical premise, this blog quickly degenerates into miscellaneous trivia and other serendipitous tidbits regarding miniatures gaming that runs the gamut from historical to whacky to whatever-the-hell genre I’m into at the moment. "Squirrel!" I’ll populate this blog with eye candy and images to water the eye of any visitor whether an unsuspecting layperson or veteran miniature gamer. Please enjoy your visit and thanks for hangin’ out.

Merry Christmas from all the gang!

Well, tis truly is the Season and the toys ALL wanted to get together and do an obligatory group photo. I said to the guys, "Are you nuts?! There's no room to fit y'all - I don't care if you are all minis. And besides the coordination nightmare, we all have to make sure that everybody gets along. This'll be just like herding kittens."

But a few nano seconds later I felt the sting of a humbug and relented. "OK, fine, let's go ahead do a photo but y'all have to pick representatives from each group..."

"Here we go, no crowding around and everyone squeeze together."

Take 1: Here' s the gang (or at least a SMITTERING of them as my Cuban gaming buddy, Uncle Greasy, would say). That pretty much represents most of everyone, I thought.

Take 2: OK, a few more lumbered in and flew by...

Take 3: ...and rode in...

Take 4: ...crawling thru...

Take 5: Now the ships came in!

Take 6: "Droids! We don't allow your kind here..."

Take 7: But of course, if the Droids join then the rest of the Star Wars knuckleheads have to crowd in... "And, I thought they smelled bad on the outside..."
