Matakishi's Tea House

It's too cold to paint in my little room at the moment. I've painted 4 miniatures in November so far but the total for the year is good so I don't mind. I've been spending my time on other things.

Partly I've been thinking about next year's projects. The first one, Pulp Sci Fi is underway already. I want this to be my game at BLAM 2011 and I've been putting together ideas since this year's BLAM in October. Three of the four painted figures for November have been for this. The other one was President for Life Hasira Kiboko and my Babatundean line of miniatures has been occupying a large part of my time recently.  Obviously I hope this will continue to expand and feature prominently in the coming years.

The Malayan Emergency figures have been started as well, they will be a sizable historical project for next year. Dave at Britannia is producing more for this range all the time.

Apart from these I have no firm plans. Post Apocalyptic vehicle gaming has been bubbling under for a while and may see some action. I'd like to return to my Boxer Rebellion project and add to it, I've been buying the figures as I've seen them. Dune would be nice but I think I'm going to have to commisssion my own figures so this will be left on hold most likely. WWII Germans might make an appearance, I need some more for Crossfire and I might paint a company in a different style for Weird World War Two. If I do this may spark me redoing my WWII Crossfire figure colllection completely.

I will plug away adding stuff to my Invasion of the Saucer People set and Hellfire too. I'm hoping to produce proper rules for both. Both also need scenery items made.

As always, new stuff will appear over the year to tempt me as well.

Some superb projects there,the "Dune" project sounds interesting i was more a fan of the David lynch/tv mini series than the books.Are you going to do a range of miniatures for it ??.Also the "Malayan Emergency" sounds great,are the "Babatundean" going to be your own range of miniatures as well,because i would like to see how this range develops:).

For me the "Post Apoc setting" is going to be keeping me busy:)and i am happy with that,a constant project with background and details is really exciting me.Its all going to be "home made" rather than store bought as i am really tired buying of books.My working title will be "Cyborgs and Mutants",going to be working on a "post apoc map"

as i used to do it when i played dungeons/dragons.Also buiding the first tunnels/corriders for my "complex" which all my "stalkers" can explore  and search for relics and battle creatures/monsters in HOORAY!!.

So i am happy doing that now,so Hooray!! thats about it really,i just wanna get stuff done HOORAY!!.

Keeping within my own little realm is gonna be great and stops me going all over the place.Cheera all:).
