The next building I plan on making will be the Stoelzel's Farmhouse. I want it to go with the Barn I made recently. Colossus is high on my "to do" list. As is Scott Manor.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-39012800680402748392014-12-02T20:05:35.830+00:002014-12-02T20:05:35.830+00:00The MA terrain looks great, what card terrain are ...The MA terrain looks great, what card terrain are you working on next?

Big heads with big eyes meant I HAD to get them right. I'll be posting lots of SDE pictures in the new year so you can judge for yourself.<br /><br />A little change is fine but there is no fear of me diversifying too much. I'll always come back to painting zombies and doing stuff for my zombie apocalypse campaign.

I think they really fit your painting style, but I'd be dreaded to paint the eyes, I just know it! <br /><br />Change is good, it really is, but the problem is that sometimes, if you let a drop in, a whole wave of changes starts rushing in. And this is bad :D.Mathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-68824544458917568202014-12-01T15:37:33.504+00:002014-12-01T15:37:33.504+00:00You're not wrong there, Joe.

Even little girls will love this. SDE is a game that can be played by all of the family. As you rightly say, I have lots of new stuff to paint.

SDE is a change of pace for me and a very welcome change. But have no fear. There is no way I could give up my passion for collecting the biggest horde of 28mm scale zombies possible.

I'll credit you and the WWG forum for starting me on PDF( too much fun), Ray and Fran for blogging, Ray and Fran( again)plus Clint and Curt for the Painting Challenge, and last but not least the internet for 15mm SciFi!<br />Even as I played battle tech, traveler, and GW; I always wanted my own Alien Legion.
