Rysm Tower

An old stone tower covered with moss and ivy stands on the edge of an ancient forest. When you open the stout wooden door a sitting room with a warm fire blazing in the hearth is revealed. Books are stacked everywhere with parchment, ink, and quills laying about. The chairs look welcoming. Cider and tea have been laid out. You can flip through a book or share a story by the hearth with a friend. I only ask that you don't mistreat the books and that you keep your voice down.

My First Finecast Miniature and My Painting Improvements

I was really excited to put this Finecast Commissar together. The went was easy to build, the detail was amazing, and it fit all together like a dream. It wasn't long before I was neglecting my tournament prep painting to jump on painting the Commissar up. In fairness I decided that this would be my Commissar Ibram Gaunt, hence the camouflage cloak. I will continue to work on the camo cloak more. I am happy with the blended look but I was hoping for a little more contrast.

Man down! Medic! Bring the super glue. While cleaning up, Gaunt fell from the table onto my hardwood floor. The joint where his wrist is, for the hand holding the bolt pistol, is so detailed that I guess it couldn't handle the fall. The detail is impressive on the model, and the hand was easily glued back into place.
