1. MDF buildings are great. Mad Mech Guy has some excellent products. On the other hand, shipping is not, and I'm going to have to hold off for more until there's a US Distributor.
2. I painted a platoon of Rebel Minis Titan Marines (like everyone else it seems). I'll post a photo later on these, but the best part was I completed these guys in an afternoon (with some overflow). It feels good to be able to paint fast when there's actually time.
3. I finally got to play Tomorrow's War, a two and a half hour game for the Pilot Rescue Scenario (done in 28mm with the AT-43 figs I have laying around bought when FF stopped carrying them). I like the theory, but this is a game set that has certain ideal dice pools, and due to a slight change to the group mix, we had fireteams shooting at each other at inches apart from each other. I think it's still a system with potential, ,but as much as we tried we could not actually cause any casualties to each other.
-Of course we might be missing something in the rules. I like them, but it's about appropriate dice pools. I'm still
4. I'm trying the Guild Challenge. I've been distracted by my BSOS (Bright Shiny Object Syndrome), but have completed four of the Space Battleship Yamato ships in preparation for my Battle for Planet Earth project. I'd like to do a 5th, as it's almost done, but between a BC Hockey Game I have to go out to watch and a eight week old, progress is unrealistic to put it mildly.
Cruiser Ceres-Terran ship, good old C4 (Big Mamma Boom) that was on a shakeout cruise with the Mimas (D19) and Deep Fleet Destroyer Pallas (D37) when they encountered a pair of raiders.

One of the two Raiders identified from the incident, Labled as Raider TYR in the encounter Database. (Yes, this is a Earther ship from the series, but I'm not using Star Blazers as a basis for anything).
