My collection at the moment

Ok,well I've been busy with school and helping getting this years garden going but I just got some figures from my friend Sean who is a LotR TMG player from Toronto,Ontario,Canada (which I googled by the way and its 394 miles away (quikest route) and 6 hours and 49 minutes,but I doubt thats including traffic or customs).Anyhoo,so I layed out all my non-duplicates on the floor and sorted them by alignment and faction,then I had an idea to take a picture of my smallish but growing collection but I couldn't get a good shot so I smushed em all together and and then took a picture with all the "Official" LotR TMG dice I have as well.Anyhoo,hope yall enjoy,but now that I have 3 extra starter Lurtzs I think I'm going to turn em into Uruk-Hai warriors or something (simple really,print out the proper base stats,paint a hand on his shield to tell him apart and maybe move the limbs around a little bit for added differentness).Cheers --Nate--

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.

Some WarHammer terrain

Ok,its official,I finally caved..WarHammer Fantasy is one of my new hobbies (filling the once LotR SBG slot).So my army of choice is Skaven and last night I decided to begin construction on some terrain for em (I have a few months before I'll even get money to buy any Skaven) and this is what I got so far:

Another wonderful update

Well I spent a few hours tonight working on the tomb and I think it looks pretty swell.All it needs now is some paint on the new features and some walls and we can start bashing some goblins...well,I need to get some first..that and the rest of the Fellowship..and a Cave Troll wouldn't hurt too..Ok,its clearly obvious that my collection is a little limited at the moment but hopefully Ebay may provide.Anyhoo,heres the progress so far

Chamber of Records and Balrog of Morgoth

Ok,finally been able to begin some serious construction on my Balin's tomb now,using the same construction methods as my Hall.Ok,and with the Balrog my cat Dusty(or Basement Cat for you "Lolzcats" lovers) decided to play in my tomb last night.

Not much to report

Well it has been a bit since my last posting(sorry,some unexpected things came up so yeah),anyhoo,as of before I went to write this I had 499 pageviews and two followers(which ain't bad in my honest opinion).Alrighty,earlier I had installed the drive shaft into my 21 year old ford ranger but I still gotta drain and refill the tranie fluid and change/reconnect the battery cables as well then she'll be drivable(Yay!).Now for a Mines of Moria update,I've been able to cut out the wood part of the board and glue on the gate on top of the hex map(same printoff as last time) and have the outer raised up "shelf" with the stairs by the main gate all installed.I'm gonna have to spray paint the foam part but that shouldn't be to hard,also to make everything else look good i'm going to spray paint the outer walls and any exposed area of the boards that isn't part of it so to say black so it'll all look MUCH better(the interiors are nice but the exterior..  :^p  blagh).Ok then,i'm gonna go work on it for the first time in a week(well maybe almost,idr)

Stair Case of DOOM:part 2

Ok,once again in record time(thanks much to the help of a artistically gifted little sister) another section of moria has been completed,I posted pics of when it was primed earlier(black with what was left of my gray..Thank God for making spray paint) and then did a healthy drybrush (well it was pretty wet so idk) of a dark gray on the brick work(and a lot on the ruined part I added on after it was sprayed).Then last but not least a lighter gray on the tiles/hexes with dark gray lines for hexes where there was multiple next to each other,all I got to do is seal it in the morning.
