Paladin From Reaper

Check it out - flames turned out well.  The armor actually looks much better in person - the camera doesnt do it justice.

Last zombie hunter from The Scene

Cool little fig (similar poses to the last 2 Ive done) - paint job on it was 'blah' but, I splattered gore on him, which was fun, but also kinda sucked :)  Jack Black or Ash?

Probably my last 15mm guy for a while.  I think Ive decided I like the bigger figures better - more opportunities for shading, etc.

LEGO Dork

Hi.  Im Jay.  And Im a LEGO dork.

I freely admit it now.  I played with LEGOs when I was a kid - I got my first set around 1977.  It was a Lunar Lander, before they had LEGO minifigs.  I was into the SPACE series and the CASTLE series.  I probably played with them until I was 13 or so, and the 'cool' factor caught up to me. 

I had forgotten about LEGOs until fairly recently when I happened to be in the toy section of a department store, and was amazed by all the cool sets they had come out with.  The Millenium Falcon and AT AT Walkers both caught my eye.

Well, I was over at a friend's house over the Christmas break and she had the LEGO Eiffel Tower (which looks like it sells for about $700 bucks IF you can find one!)  After that, I started looking around on the 'Net just for fun, and there is this entire LEGO subculture I had no idea about!

Ive loved the Space Shuttle program, and now that it is going away, I felt like it was time to relive my LEGO dorkism...

LEGO Shuttle Adventure - 1204 pieces

Now that is a lot of pieces!

Ill throw some more pics up as it starts to build up...I think my wife is looking forward to this too!
