I would not be surprised to find out no one even has a link to my blog anymore. But, in case you do, here's what I've been doing.
The blog went into "benign neglect" shortly after I moved from Texas to the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. We were living in a completely lovely 16th floor penthouse apartment with an amazing view. We could even see the Washington Monument on a clear day. What I couldn't see, though, were my books and miniatures: they were all in off-site storage. Of all the benefits of that apartment, "space" was not one of them.
Fast forward to now and we own a nice home with a large finished basement. It needed a lot of work, but I included a 5' x 10' cabinet. Here you can see a game of All The King's Men 54mm AWI set up, as well as an idea how it looks without a game.
Each of those cabinets has four pull-out drawers. On the side nearest it contains my 28mm Napoleonic collection, while the far side has the 28mm Seven Years War figures.
My best friend has visited from Georgia on a couple occasions. Ray has a couple high quality 3D printers, and together we have invested in (cough) a "few" STLs. My favorites are the ones from
Piano Wargames. Lucas is very talented and his interest in the Campaign of 1809 corresponds with my favorite campaign. So far I have his Württemberg, Hessen-Darmstadt, Tyrolian, and Danube campaign figures.
Currently I have Piano's Würzburg figures on my painting table. The Hessians are next--I've always wanted to have this small army.
I plan to follow up in the next few weeks with pictures and other posts about what I've been doing and what is currently planned. Here's a hint of what's to come:
Thanks for waiting so patiently!
