It has been a busy few weeks, and the things I want to share are beginning to pile-up. Here's a quick catch up with the companion piece to The Hundred Handed One.

    Wow what a great process!
    She's one angry lassie.. I almost feel sorry for the dragon.
    What I love about this is all the accoutrements on the figures... they actually look like they could do some travelling and the knife thrower actually carries enough knives to make it worthwhile.
    But what is the guy on the floaty shield doing... he's not exactly being 'helpful' now is he?

    Thanks Tommi.

    I do usually have fun thinking baout, and adding, all the necessaryadventuring cacoutrements. I tend to think of my own characters and all the little bits and bobs they have. A single belt pouch just wouldn't hack it!

    lol - gotta agree - polishing your sword sends off a fairly belligerent signal ;)

    Cacodaemonia; I am never quite happy with my rendering of feathers, but I reckon these are the best so far ;)

    Thanks again Atom. I have certainly been enjoying the weather. Had a great day Saturday at the Otley Show - a local annual agricultural fair.

    Thanks very much Julkillo.
