Welcome to the Windy City!


Finally, the day has arrived. As this posts I'm doing the final scramble to get to the airport and fly off to Chicago for AdeptiCon. I'm obviously super-excited for the show, primarily because I get to see lots of good friends I only see once a year!

I'm also excited to see hundreds of thousands of miniatures on the tabletop and in the cabinets, all lovingly assembled and painted with care. Speaking of which, here's my finished model for the Crystal Brush, The Toad. I've shown you a few WIPs before but here he is now, complete and sporting a crumpled broadsheet decrying him as "The Devil of the Docklands".

The Toad is from Infamy Miniatures, and will play a major role in my collection for the game Infamy: Welcome to the Big Smoke. I hope you like him.

  3. Love all the fine little details on this one. Pin stripes on the shirt, the newspaper, cracks in the piston hammer. Very nicely done sir! I can't wait to get mine. I may just actually get some paint on them!

  4. Fantastic standard of painting (the devil is in the detail and there's a lot of detailing on that figure). Good luck at the show.

  6. I do really like the range of models they have done for this game, was seriously tempted to go in when it was on Kickstarter.

    Love what you have done with him, that newspaper is a brilliant touch.
