year end retrospective...


The past year has seen something of a rebirth of my interest in the hobby—mostly due to three factors. First, I had shifted my hobby focus to the fine art of card modeling as exhibited at papermodelers.com. It is a satisfying hobby. I designed models of a pre-WWI Zeppelin (free download from the Landships II site) and have a Chesapeake Bay skipjack design in the works.

The warrior woman delivered the goods. I'm amazed how bright LED lights are these days. I can clearly remember (not too many years ago) when they were sold as auxiliary lights for inside closets, under cabinets, etc., and they were simply useless. Not so any more!

Internet shopping is amazing. Two days after my last post regarding photographing figures, I've got a small cell phone tripod, a remote shutter release and a macro lens with which to experiment.

As I revive my gaming interests I've decided I need to up my game in terms of miniatures photography. I've got two options here: rely on my trusty Nikon CoolPix which I've used for years; or, use my new Blu smart phone.
