and it reared its ugly head!!

I am referring to life. I have been itching for the last several weeks to post some photos or something here, but it seems that life intrudes and foils my plans on a daily basis. I have wanted to work on painting some Afrika corps Germans and some AWI figures from some plastic sets I purchased. By the time my wife and I get the kids settled I find its almost time for us to go to sleep. So I guess part of the challenge of this or any hobby, is to find a balance between family and your favorite obsession. On a lighter note I ordered some Eureka Amazons last week. I have allways loved the romantic image of Amazons and thought it would be a hoot to field some in a game. Most of the ones I ordered are nude. I just wanted to see the reaction of my opponents when I fielded this force. I wonder if they will be so distracted by the ladies that they will forget to put up a fight. Besides that I will enjoy painting up lot's of tiny naked women.

Cheers

Björn Free

I was just browsing another blog that a gentleman named Björn, has set up to showcase the norman army he is working on. If the photos he has posted of the first two figures are any indication, then this will be one very impressive army. After seeing his, I am tempted to order some normans and have a go at them myself. Hmmm. Maybe I should finish some of my other projects first. Man its still pretty tempting though. head on over to Björn's Blog Normans of Stockholm and check out the pics. They are well worth the effort.
