Time to celebrate the 4th of July, and the upcoming Historicon with some war gaming!

What’s on the agenda?

  • Terrain Building -  ‘cuz  ya know,  range hurts.
  • Painting

All this week I want to try to get some exposure to the genre, and share my experiences.

I welcome your comments on the subject, and if you’d like to submit something on the topic drop me a line here  in the comments, or…

Two hours with a master sculptor!  And I end up with a mud golem…

Last year, Origins began offering new events in the form of an Art College.  This second year offers over 100 different events in this same school.

I saw that Sandra Garrity was  going to be teaching a 101 sculpting class, and promptly signed up!  I love her work, and thought it would be a fantastic opportunity to see how it’s done.

I settle in, ready to create my masterpiece.

A friend from work brought me a couple of pewter pieces to make some repairs to, and then paint.

The first piece is called “The Book of Spells”, s/n 3004, produced by WAPW, in the UK.  The sculptors name is on the bottom, it looks to be Roger ? but I’ve not been able to figure out the last name, and haven’t found any reference to it in my searches thus far.  As you can see from the picture, one of the hands are missing.  The original sculpt had a plate, with a crystal on it.  I’m going to try to sculpt a new hand for it.
