My Big Project for 2008

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Wednesday, December 31, 2008,
Sometime you pick a project and sometimes it picks you. This is one of those times.

Last year after watching 300 and all of it's assorted features I decided it was time to do Spartans for Wargods of AEgyptus. So i jumped in and started with a few units. I knew a fellow that was getting out of it and wanted to get rid of his. I got a very good deal on it and before I knew it I had a lot of Spartans and some Mycenaens.

At that point I decided to get a bunch of friends together and do a large fig...

Just a few days to go

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Monday, December 22, 2008,
So here we are with a few days to go to Christmas.
I am busy trying to get all of my end of year projects done as well as getting stuff posted here for sale.

Something else that I have gotten into (or back into) is Star Wars minis. It wouldn't be my first choice of game but my daughter likes it and if i can get my daughter into miniature games then it is worth it.

So I am starting to think about my personal gaming goals for 2009. I think the first thing should be to get my Wargods Spartans don...

Walking Down Memory Lane

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Thursday, December 4, 2008,
As I have been going through my old pictures and deciding what I wanted to up up on my website I have been looking at all of the old Urban War Stuff that I sold off a few years back. As I do this I am finding myself looking into getting back into it again.

I have always been a fan of the Scifi Gaming Genre and the UW imagery have a lot of the stuff that I like with a Japanese/Chinese themed force and a Soviet themed force and all kinds of other stuff that looks interesting.

The thing that alwa...

My Thoughts On Gaming Conventions

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Tuesday, December 2, 2008,
Last September I posted this on a local group in regards to local conventions. I thought that it was worth putting up here:

I didn't go to Conquest. Why? Because there really wasn't anything on the
schedule that I wanted to do. The only thing that was interesting to me was
the Flea Market but I am not going to shell out for a badge just to do that.
There will be people that say "Well if you don't see something on the
schedule that you like volunteer to run something". The answer to that is

British para troops

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Monday, December 1, 2008,
Not much in the way of an update today. I am finishing up some late war British Para Troops in 28mm. Most of them are from Artizan although there are a few from Crusader and Westwinds. I did these for some playtesting that I was doing. now that I am finished I do not need them any more. I am going through my collection right at the moment to figure out what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of. Needless to say if you like stuff that i do and would like to pick up something let me know...
