The greatest gaming convention Brookville Maryland has ever seen returned in 2025 returned twice as big and ready to rumble! More to come on the con itself, but thought I would start with a little after action report for the 1941 Raiders of the Malta Convoy game I ran on Saturday. I’ll do a post […]

In anticipation of Unioncon 2025, the second edition of the greatest gaming convention ever held in Brookeville Maryland, I’ve been rapidly finishing my forces for the Battle of Monocacy, 1864!

I’m getting ready for the next convention game I’m planning to host, a chance for players to learn more about and engage with the Battle of Monocacy, a battle in the US Civil War that occurred just outside of Fredrick Maryland.

As I’ve gotten more into painting display models, I’ve also got more into bases, plinths and diorama building. These serve a critical role to either frame the piece (in the case of a simple plinth) or complete the story (in the case of a scenic base or diorama). These days, there are endless products, manufacturers

Here is a quick little scene I painted for the Badger Games Rob Baker Memorial Painting Contest. We all painted the same little Viking duo this lovely sculptor had put together for them. I’ve been painting a lot of vikings over the last few years, and it was fun to play around with the fire
