Introduction

I decided to resurrect some of my miniatures gaming web pages ("Plastic Wars" army men gaming web site topics), as well as documenting some current projects which might be of use to my fellow gamers.  I hope you enjoy it, and find it of some use for your hobby interests.  Cheers!


12 July 2023
Updated many pages; added new projects for Toy Dragon conversions (Draco-Lich and AD&D Brass Dragon); added new Schleich Fruit Bats as Goblin Cavalry, which replaced the crude, low quality toy rubber bats used years ago; added new photos to the Wooden Fort conversion page -- it received a facelift, much needed, making it stronger, more durable, and better looking, as well.

Terrain Crafting Projects Page 1 has been updated with some improved techniques using curved TP cardboard tubes for the parapet construction process, along with using full sheet label paper.

Siege Pieces page has been updated with new techniques (3mm thick cardboard from a frame shop).

Vinyl Floor Tile Projects have been updated:  I no longer use this product for much as I found it to be problematic, warping over time.  I've upgraded to using primarily laser-cut MDF, in its place.

I cleaned up the Wooden Palisades page, removing the redundant posts on the pumpkin stem towers, which is fully documented on the Terrain Crafting Projects Page 1.

More updates to follow.  Cheers!

Added some photo's to the bottom of the Terrain Crafting Projects:  Page 1, showing perspective views of the latest Towers to be completed.  Added Terrain Crafting Projects:  Page 2, featuring Ice Stalagmites.

Final update on the Hobgoblin Guard Tower project.  Moved it to the new Terrain Projects Page 1.  Posted several new photo's of the five completed Towers, which demonstrate the details added to the bases.

Posted a new page, Terrain Project: Page 1.  Features a mixed media project, using 2-D and 3-D elements, from card stock terrain stuff, to make 3-D Towers.

Added Toob Native American figures, converted for use as Hill Giants to the toy conversion page, covering Giant figures.
