Last post by Alex - Today at 03:14:01 AMI honestly do not enjoy painting, although I've recently been making efforts to paint up some of my figures more historically accurate and do a little shading on them. My NKVD Soviets, Italian Bersagliari and Blackshirts have been getting that treatment.
What eras of figures do you collect and paint just out of curiosity? Other than my WW2 stuff (British (European, African, and Asian theatres of war), Germans (European and African), Japanese, Italian, US (European and Pacific), Soviets, Hungarians as well as Polish (and all my fantasy and sci-fi stuff), I also have a colonial-era British force, Zulus, American Civil War and a Japanese force from the Warring States period. One of these days, I am going to get around to doing a Roman army too.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

I had never heard of this, but it popped up in the Netflix 'leaving soon' list, and it had an alien, so I clicked.
It is about an old man, living alone and very set in his ways whose life is upturned when a flying saucer crashes in his backyard, ruining his azaleas.
As I said, I went in completely blank and was pleasantly surprised. In fact, the alien is just a gimmick to talk about loneliness and aging. Now, this is essentially a feel good movie, so you might find it tame or sentimental, but it does deal with some serious problems in a delicate and compassionate way. It is also helped by the performances of Ben Kingsley, Harriet Samson Harris and Jane Curtin. Then there is a personal dimension, as the people I know from my parent's generation are dealing with these issues, which brings it closer to home. Not a great classic but a pleasant little movie.

Last post by Dr. Whom - April 06, 2026, 03:20:55 PMGood for you! Covid made far less a dent in my backlog than I thought it would, but then I was kept pretty busy workwise, so I didn't paint much more than usual. The real problem is of course that it is far easier to buy figures than paint them.
