Hello, Dave?

A quick post to show a couple of models I painted for Crooked Dice a few of weeks ago. There's the Hurdy Gurdy Man which in these 'enlightened' times seemed to confuse a couple of people on Facebook who weren't familiar with a certain British comedy series.


And my favourite, the Crow King.

  1. Gotta love these enlightened times... I got grief from a couple of non-gamers when I posted a Confederate ACW unit on Facebook and was told I shouldn't be promoting THAT flag by several non-gamers (and really non-friends... not sure how my page became cluttered with so many people I don't really know)...

    Great paint job on these minis!

    1. Context is everything. There can also be a fair bit of hypocrisy from some people too. I remember years ago now a few on one forum being rather critical of people painting WWII SS units but being perfectly fine with busty pulp nazi girls with swastikas.

    1. Thanks :) I can't say the bird shit was my idea but it came out quite nicely, for shit anyway.

  3. These are local miniatures for local people... David Mitchell recently wrote an interesting article acout peoples' perceptions of the world and took the time to disparage those amongst us who feel they have the right not to be offended.

    1. It's easy to be offended if we want to. It's even easier to then complain in public on social media. Everyone has a voice now but very little worth saying so we feel we're making a difference or being profound if we point and shout some sort of 'ism'.
