I've Been Painting and Playing D&D (and Collecting T-Shirts)

Okay, okay - it's gone on long enough - I'm surprised myself that I haven't posted in over a year - but I've been painting miniatures, playing d&d, collecting t-shirts like these below, and I received a brand new toy for Christmas in an airbrush - very exciting.


I started with the basic box way back in 1979 (I received the box with chits instead of dice because there was a dice shortage as the game started to grow in popularity).  The rules book had a blue cover with the blue and white drawing of adventurers attacking a dragon sitting on his hoard of treasure - when I saw that t-shirt it was an instant purchase.  If you want to play more D&D, then you need an I Love My Wife t-shirt - she can't say no when you're wearing that t-shirt, lol!

Oh, the airbrush - yes!  I've been thinking about an airbrush for years but was always hesitant - well that changed when one was gifted under the tree this past holiday - so I had a new light installed in the garage where I setup a card table and do my thing.  I have everything in two bins and can be airbrushing within five minutes...


Expect to see more posts as I've started to get the camera out - I'm going to backdate several posts both in 2022 and at the beginning of 2023.  I'll do my best to slot them in order of being painted and as I do so I'll link them and edit this post with links to all the backposts.  I'll also do a posting of airbrushing thoughts as I watched a lot of videos and did quite a bit of accessory purchasing in January prior to actually starting to airbrush in February.
