Weekly Update

Last Week at Wargaming Tradecraft

Great work on my Runeshapers this week, also put together my Champions and those pics will come this week. I've also primed my Mauler... so it's time to start airbrushing :)

Also, Lost Hemisphere Radio interviewed Norbert of the Orange Crush Foodmachine charity drive. It also included a mention of my contribution, which was kinda cool. I'm not actually sure who won... the draw's past, but there wasn't an announcement. If you want to jump to the interview about the project, hop to 1:57:30.

MWC's been looking at counterfeit models... obviously a questionable practice, and while the quality's not perfect, it's amusing to note that they seem to turn out better than Finecast.
