It's the end of May and things have finally started to warm up in my neck of the woods.  Monster May(hem) continues over at the Angry Piper.  And I will continue to paint a monster or two to support this effort.

This past week see me paint up some monsters of the "smaller" variety.   They are commission pieces to I'm not sure of the manufacturer of one of them.  But without further ado....

 This Displacer Beast is a metal figure.  I'm not sure of the maker but I can say that it didn't go together quite right and needed some filling to cover the seams.  Still, I like the face on this one and the lean nature of the cat..

                                            Here is the same beast along side another one.

 This is the second Displacer Beast.  It is a DnD miniature made by Wizards of the Coast.  It's made out of a sort of plastic material.  They claim you can paint straight on it without priming.  But I primed anyway.  I like the muscular nature of this figure and the dynamic tentacles.

Finally, I have a minotaur by Reaper Miniatures.  He's a big fellow.  I'm not a fan of the choice of weapons.  Minotaurs need something two handed to fight with!  Still, it's a nice figure and it was fun to paint. The Greek Hoplite and the rabbit were thrown in just for fun.  But the Greek is a Warlord plastic figure and the rabbit is a Skull and Crown figure.  I like rabbits.....

Enjoy....

I'm not Drag-on

Over at Dead Dick's Tavern and Temporary Lodging (angrypiper.com), there is a monster theme going on for the month of May.  Now, I've been known to paint a monster or two on occasion so I thought it would be fun to participate.  And it gives me a reason to get a few projects back on course.

I've had this miniature for quite a long time now.  It's a Grenadier miniature, 25mm scale (although how can one really determine "scale" on something like this?).  This miniature has a bit of a long history.  I believe I purchased it decades ago, one day painted it is a gift, that gift made it back to me in pieces, and then I striped off the old paint and gave it new life.  I like it better this way.  Hopefully you will like it too....

The young lady is for size reference only.  But, if you're interested, she's a 25mm figure from Reaper Miniatures.  One of those "Bones" figures.  Not sure how I feel about that material but that is a discussion for another day.  Make sure you head on over to www.angypiper.com to see all the other cool miniatures being painted.  Enjoy....

Back at it...

Looking to get the blog revived.  And to do that will require some investment in time and energy on my part.  There are only so many hours in the day and much of my free time is spent on painting or on hobby related projects.  But I do find myself on social media more than I would like.  So my plan is to reduce social media time and increase sharing time here on the blog.  And maybe use the extra spare time to paint more miniatures. 

Here are a few things that I painted to get ready for Huzzah!, Maine's premier gaming convention.  Unfortunately, with viruses and shut down orders, Huzzah! 2020 was cancelled.   But I continue to work on the projects with the hopes that one day the games will happen again.  Enjoy!
