Secret Santa - Thank you!

Well, time for the Christmas follow up post...

First I want to say thank you to Catherine for running another Secret Santa with Ian. Second, I would like to thank my Secret Santa that hooked me up with great Crossover Miniatures! I always love Rusty's stuff and I cannot recommend his miniatures enough if you are a superhero fan.

First I would like to show off my Secret Santa gift from last year that Leif was kind enough to send to me. A real treat here as I was eyeing this for some time but always other items went higher on the list. A great choice on his part and I have enjoyed this, so much I am doing more with it and still not finished as other projects have shadowed finishing it.

Front - need to wash and trim the green  and brown some.

Side shot

Shot of the rear. You may ask what next? Well the rough was made to remove. I plan to put it on a plastic sheet base, then use wood coffee sticks for the floor and detail up the inside and paint it. I love interiors for buildings and this like the barn deserves that extra attention.

My Crossover goodies! I got the Ninjas with sword, the leader with sword and pistol along with the guard. Sweet! Who does not love Ninjas? Thanks again Secret Santa!

This cherry was from my friend Chris, he bought one for him and ordered my gift a few months back. This is my first Rubicon model but I have seen others that people have purchased and these are fine model kits. I love this one as the frame can be removed to use as a normal 251 or the ambulance version. This is again another plus for Rubicon as they help you get the most for your buck with kits,

Ninjas already filed, heads added and based! I already did the texture and primered them yesterday!
I am thinking perhaps a purple suit with a nice accent color.

This was a gift to me as well as for my buddy Chris. I was walking in Wal-Mart after Black Friday and this was on an endcap. After checking the price this was a "must have purchase" as we both use these for scenery painting all the time. Save the good paint for your models! This stuff does great for your general painting needs and it works out to less than .50 cents a bottle! Whooo!

Dear Secret Santa

Well, Catherine has dropped the names and the links, so on with the show! So, what ideas to toss out to my Secret Santa?



My blog is all over the place, I do love WW2, but I also frankly have a good bit of stuff, perhaps more than I can deal with now. So having other problems would be better!

Short list items that I could suggest:

1) RAFM Call of Cthulu Line - I am playing Strange Aeons now, so there are some figs in the line I am interested in:

Crazed Clergy
Townsfolk
Tentacle Man
Great Race of Yith
Servitor of the Outer Gods
Flying Polyp
Byakhee
Elder Thing
Gug
Lesser Other God
Y'Golonac Great old one
Leng Spider
Tcho-Tcho


2) There is also the Dr Who miniature game about to be released by Warlord, I have no figs as of yet, I know Black Tree Designs has a Dr Who line I have looked at as well as Crooked Dice, there are some other companies, always been a fan and looking forward to the new game. Not real picky on any particular figs....

3) I am also a huge super hero fan, there are a bunch of figs in the Supersystem line that I would love to collect still. I know Old Glory sells them and there are other companies out there that retail them as well. Here are a few I want:

Emerald Alien
Mistress Nightmare
Spine Strike
Ox
Giantess
The Siberian
KreigHunde
Zoya
Stone Flower
Fireflight
T-34
Mecha Samurai
Devils Night  Henchmen
Elasi Ape
Gibbon Glider
Megapulse
Fastlane
High Gear
The Glock Roach
Elasti Woman
Paragons
Ape Austin

4) Crossover Miniatures makes some figures I have yet to add, most are the minions mostly but there are some great options here and I always love to send Rusty some customers.

Ninja Guard (cowl)
Ninja Boss with Gun (cowl)
Ninjas with Weapons (4) (cowl)
Thug Leader (ski masks)
Ninjas (4) (cowl)
Thugs (4) (ski masks)
Ninjas with Guns (4) (cowl)

5) Other Cthulu items and misc items are in the Reaper Miniatures Range, a good company I can recommend is Miniature Giant, they discount their Reaper stuff and I have dealt with them many times.

Crosswire (Super Villain)
Jake Ryan (Hero Explorer)
Zombie Boss with Chainsaw
Lab Mutant
Vermina, Rat Queen
Agetha Fox, Female Spy
Astrid Berger, Cold War Spy
Mega Mutant
Krampus
Weapon Pack III
Buck Fannin, Cowboy
Bonnie, Muumuu Zombie
Max Graves, Pulp Era Investigator
Wild West, Wizard of Oz Scarecrow


Looking forward to seeing what my victim....er, chosen gent or lady will be for me to buy for!
