Where has the time gone!?

Hey guys,sorry that my posts have been increasingly lacking.Lets see here,what's happened lately is this:God gave me a job as a 3rd shift stocker at Meijer's,I went on a missions trip to Kokomo Indiana with my youthgroup and have had God change me and my views in lots of crazy ways,I made some actual friends (no offense to any of you guys if you read this (I doubt it)),I've been making a rough 28mm scale Firefly class miniature,I've watched the Firefly TV series and am hooked (Serenity is next),I have received my "Worldwide Gothic" book in the mail (it is 5 stars by the way),I've received my Solar Cabin homesteading book in the mail too,I've FINALLY received my two TechCommander starters in the mail,I've been doing sewing/mending,and yeah...That is about it for now,I've also been prepping for college which I think is going to be..Hmm,what is the word...Epic in all aspects.Oh,I've been also saving up money to by a vehicle of my own that actually runs and has good gas millage (compared to my truck or my grandparents truck)...Anyhoo,GLYASDI! --Nate--

Some pictures

 Part of my Plague Doctor outfit/costume (with out the mask or pack it is a out fit)

 Standing against the sign I assembled on the last day (the Chuck Taylors really give a sense of SteamPunkness don't they? Lol)

Origins 2011

Well I've been to Origins and volunteering there was one of the funnest things I've done in my life (aside from every time I'm with God,CloudLand Canyon trips,Miniature Donkey shows,or mission trips).I met so many people and made a lot of new friends.I plan (assuming God lets me but I think it is alright with Him) on going next year but this time I'll be actually there the whole time (Wednesday (or Tuesday) through Sunday NIGHT..Ugh,I missed quite a bit with leaving early and getting there late...Noot next time).They have moved the dates to the first week of June for the next couple of years but GRCC's semesters should be done by then (I pray and hope so).Anyhoo,I played a LOT of games.I tried SmallWorld,played WereWolf (by the one and only Loony Labs),and a bunch of other things.

  I went to get rid of hobbies (I was gonna get rid of BattleTech and still plan on it...VERY soon at that as well) but came back with several more.WereWolf,MechWarrior (which I have tried before and detested but they had a Age of Destruction starter for $6 (then two days later I found another vendor that had it for $4..Ugh,I guess the saying is true..There is someplace that always has it cheaper (Okay,I know it physically impossible for that to be true but always someplace minus 1)) so I bought it and tried my hand again at it and I REALLY like it.I bought 3 WolfStrike boosters,1 Falcons Prey,3 Age of Destruction,and 1 Death from Above..Yeah,I wish I hadn't bought the FP and DFA and had bought the Ares 3-pack (for only $9 at one place,no Poseidon though..They even had Solaris VII action packs for $9 a piece or sets of 2 for $14..UGH and lol).I also tried my hand at Amtgard but I don't like the Magic aspect of it so I'm probably going with Dagorhir instead.Plus there are Dagorhir players in Grand Rapids as well compared to none from Amtgard that I know of.I told my younger sister about it (she is in her teens) and she REALLY REALLY loves it and I also got my neighbor kid interested in it (13 I think) so it is gonna be a fun summer.Anyhoo,I'll be posting more tomorrow and later on.I actually have 23 more thank-you cards to write.--Nate--

More figures and Game Con volunteering

Well today in the mail I got my figures from Elven Archer and pixel97504 from off the Snaggle Tooth Games forum.I have a cavetroll now and a bunch of other "crunchible minionsies"

 What I recieved

 Evil Collection(minus Hero duplicates)

Good Collection(minus Hero duplicates)

Also,I'm volunteering this year at Origins Game Fair in Columbus,Ohio and another joy or surprise is that its also going to be Victoriana and SteamPunk themed this year and they're even having a SP costume contest(I am really considering a field medic because I have a "bloody" dress shirt from an old Sweeney Todd costume and I'm also filing down a 6" round saw blade).Anyhoo,I shall post pics of what ever costume I decide to bring in addition to my normal SP clothes.Cheers --Nate--

Of conventions and bargains

Well I went to my first "official" Gaming convention yesterday and while I was there I found a "Deluxe Edition Lord of the Rings Tradeable Miniatures Game Starter set" for $20! I bought that and have greatly increased my supply of troops and also dressed steampunk(which I love btw) so here are some pics of me playing SBG as well:

Apologies

Ok,its been a while since I've posted so I must apologize about that.Things have been busy,I got my license,I took hunter safety,my sister's birthday came up,been broke,have had a job interview(12:45 this morning) and the second interview for the position is tomorrow night at 11:30 so wish me luck.Lets see,I haven't done much for modeling except I FINALLY painted my Chamber of Records...But according to Murphey's Law my little cousin stepped on the throne area only 2 days after I painted it so that was kinda annoying.Okay then,also my folks got a bunch of games (Rebuilding San Jaun,Carcasonne(more like crackasonne),another one I can't remember,etc..) and one of them was Risk 2210 so we've played it a couple of times and I really REALLY like that game.So one thing I did was to look up expansions and I found that you can pretty much conquer half the solar system and a bunch of commanders...The best part is that its all free (except for the printing cost...I'm gonna get another cartridge before I print off mars or any of the territory cards...  :^/ ).Anyhoo,oh yeah,like I was typing,I love boardgamegeek.com for all their goodness,anyhoo,I gotta go and get ready for WinterJam tonight so toodles and ciao.
