HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOWARD P. LOVECRAFT

I would like to wish a very happy intentionally belated birthday to Mr. Lovecraft!

Does anyone find it most curious that the month of Howie's B-Day is always full of celestial events?

The Stars Were Right On August 20,1890...

BOSS' ELDRITCH HORROR EXTREME SKIRMISH GAME... INTRODUCTION!

Kris and I had a nice talk this weekend about our ELDRITCH HORROR Gaming Projects. If you are thinking about upgrading Mansions Of Madness and similarly themed board games like The Others into a more action packed Miniatures Skirmish Game you will likely enjoy listening in on our conversation. We cover options for cool models and terrain, and taking the rules into a more energetic direction... kinda FUN my Dark Ones!

CREEP Boss out!

SFMA ON THE BENCH LIVE HANGOUT MARCH 10 2014

This week we had a fun hangout, as usual, and talked about some very cool modeling projects.

The highlight for me this week was meeting Mr.Jerry Hedgecock the owner of HDA MODELWORX. Jerry specializes in super high quality LED and SMD lighting and other related fine model products

Other topics this week included previews of several of the SFMA Spring Builds, including Armies Falcon, and my Borg Destroyer. We also talked a good bit about how to use Jerry's new SMD with Ralph's control boards. Boyd, Ralph, and I discussed lighting the YAMATO 2199 1/1000 Scale kits. Boyd and I had a good talk about how to solidly base models with a rotating metal rod assembly to use with wiring for lighted models, with help from Armando (Army...Ha, Ha!). BIG Wally shot his Phaser too...

These "On The Bench" Hangouts are always cool. Jim and Jeff, we missed you.

Boss out

SFMA LIVE ON THE BENCH HANGOUT FEBRUARY 25 2014

This week we talked a bit about the upcoming SFMA Members Spring Builds, and all manner of other projects and modeling tips.

Some of the highlights from this hangout were Ralph of TenaControls discussing some finer aspects of his control boards and model lighting. Ralph and Jim also talked about using small scale electric motors in models for moving parts.
Bob and I talked about using florescent paints on backdrops. Boyd and I talked about plastic adhesion promoter and it's uses. This is a good product for cleanly enhancing prepainted models. When you use this spray you can paint over painted models to improve their quality, without having to completely strip and prime them.

Chris presented a current list of The SFMA Spring Build participants, so far we are at twenty three entries, and Boyd clarified some of the contest rules and announced the opening of an all new members events board just for the Spring Build Contest.

Boss out.

SFMA LIVE HANGOUT FEBRUARY 17 2014

I  have been watching Sci-Fi Model Action (SFMA) hangouts for a few weeks, and decided to participate last night. We are all gearing up for our SFMA Spring Build Members Contest. In this episode we talked about Star Wars, Star Trek, and generally cool science fiction and modeling topics.

I had a nice little moment in this hangout at time talking about some of my thoughts and goals for my Boss' BIG STAW Project. The guys at SFMA came to the rescue with some cool possibilities for how to perhaps light the smaller 1/2500 scale ships. I need to think about all of these options for a while yet, because I want everything to be consistent over the entire collection.

The SFMA members that I have interacted with are some of the most REAL and cool people that I have met on the internet. It was a hell of a lot of fun chatting with them.

I suppose being the new guy, you get your pretty face up on the video banner.
Brave men they are...yes.

Ha, Ha!!!

Boss out.
