Latest addistion to my very humble LBH-library

The very small LittleBigHorn-library is growing. Very slowly and unsteady, but growing. Latest addition is Troopers with Custer by E.A. Brininstool. As with the other books I will read it. Eventually, got some other books to read too.

Making a djungle

Hi again! This blog is apparently very much asleep. Have realised that the Gataskog-dio will be huge so it will have to wait a little. Maybe a couple of different scenes. I have a little djungle adventure going, set about 1900. I needed to make a djungle. Searched a little on the net and couldn't find anything that fitted more than palm trees, so I'm making my own djungle. Green paper, a pencil, scissors and a drinking straw for the plants. For the trees I bought two cheap plastic plants. I need to do more, but it's coming along. And Mr Butterbur is posing as a scale reference.

More books!

I added two more books to my very small LittleBigHorn-library. They look very promising. Maybe I even make a new dio about it some day.

Gataskog - Defenders and Attackers

Hi again!

I've been working on this project for some years now and now I'm getting close to something. And since the original battle was in March 1365 I realise that I'm getting very close to some kind of anniversary. But I think I settle on finishing the dio for the real anniversary in 2365. I mean, that should give me enough time. I hope. Some pictures on the figures. The base is just painted yet and I realise I need more bases. And pics with the cellphone so not very good.

First the defenders, Swedes and Norwegians.

Last pic? Yes, I added bowstring on some of the archers. Have four left.

And the attackers, Swedes and Germans. And some casualties that I'm going to put arrows in.

That was all this time. See ya!

Another actor to play Sir Toby

Hi again! Now it is back to basics. Still working on my little expedition-story. Changed plans and saved a lot of money. Discovered that I have a lot of stuff at home that I can use and have very fun fun. And I have also hired yet another actor to play Sir Toby.

When I went to a plastic party

Many years ago me and some friends were in Stockholm to watch a show with a pretty big Swedish comedian. After the show we felt that a beer would be nice. We found a place at some back street. They had nice beer, some ordinary people as customers, but if you put your glass on the table it got stuck! Everything looked allright, but the tables were so dirty they were sticky. Yuck. Anyway, we had our beer and heard that there was a party downstairs (in the basement). Free entry. We heard someone mention plastic party, but didn't think much of it. We had all heard of Tupperwear parties. Well, this was quite different! Some people were dressed like us, just ordinary blokes, some were dressed in plastic and rubber, some were not dressed at all. We all felt pretty akward, but everybody was nice and realised that we didn't really belong there so they just talked to us and were nice. After that I am a little cautious when I hear the word plastic party. :-) Just a little story while you wait for something paint related to appear here.

Old stuff

Hi again! Dug out some old stuff. Haven't painted these figures myself, but I like them. They are pretty old now and a little worn.

First Aristocats. Think I've got all in this little series.

Then Lucky Luke. Lucky himself disappeared sometime (I think his legs was too fragile and got lost or something), but I think I've got the rest of the figures.

And then Tintin. Maybe there were more in this series, but these are the important ones.

Yes, I still got Snowy (Milou). He was lost for a while, but I found him again. Got more Disney-figures, but they will have to rest awhile.
