iraqi insurgency vignette
Posted by camo junkie on Sunday, September 12, 2010 8:14 AM

hey guys. been awhile. havent had time to build much or do much with work and all. got this thing together for a show yesturday...was surprised i took first as i didnt do my "normal work" on it. some may like it some may not. regardless i have my first 1st place win and i can die a happy man now. the figures are both warriors and verlinden. the building/base was constructed from hydrocal. some of you might recognize the figures and a few details from my old but now defunct "mayhem in the hood" dio. met and unfortunate water accident (leaky pipe in basement). so i salvaged what i could from it. thanks for looking and as always comments and critiques appreciated.

First of all, let me echo the congrats on the first place win.  Well done and well deserved.

 

To the above:

Jeff,

There is a show in Maine - 'DownEastCon'.  It is held in the fall timeframe (I'd have to get you specific dates), in Southern Maine.  Shoot me a 'Conversation' if you want me to get you some specifics.
