Raggy Paints

Well I have finished my SWAT team. There are 8 miniatures in all, 4 from the USX Range by RAFM (the taller miniatures) and the other 4 from West Wind\’s Road Kill range. In my mind the USX are nicer sculpts but are at least 32mm scale and although it isn\’t a massive issue you…

Well I have gotten as far as I can with the Islamic Federation Ships without seeing the originals to compare them to. I think I have missed out some highlighting on the wings in skull white, and on the body in scorpion green. – Raggy, signing out

Well folks, I figured it was about time I posted an update. Not made a lot of progress recently as I have been away in London. I went to Salute for the first time, a great experience where I spent a load of money I don\’t have on minis I can\’t afford! I have however…

I am going to Salute for the first time this Saturday and I\’m really looking forward to it. Although I\’m not sure if I\’ll have any spending money… and I REALLY want some spending money! There is a load of stuff that I am dying to get my grubby mitts on… fingers crossed I can…

The reason it is proving so problematic is people don\’t look the same… an obvious enough statement really. With a regiment, uniforms are…

Well folks, some news… but still nothing to do with minis… I help out with a local charity called Stray Aid (www.strayaid.co.uk) anyways we eventually succumbed and got another dog… his name was Calvin but we have renamed him Havloc. If you want to see photos, head on over to the new site and have…

Another rant, enjoy: I am not by any means dumb, I am a geek, a nerd and have an addiction to learning pretty well anything. I have played on if not owned every console since the Commodore 64… with 2 exceptions. The PS3 is on my to buy list… once it doesn\’t require me to…

Yeah, not been doing any painting recently… I have instead been web designing… for charity! Check it outhttp://www.strayaid.co.uk/supportersThe site won\’t go properly live for another week (hence the lack of dogs – see http://www.strayaid.co.uk for them) but until then it is a work-in-progress so any and all comments welcome and helpful!
