Curious George And The Man In The Yellow Hat

As a kid, I loved the Curious George books. This was long before there was a television show, and there weren't that many to read. The Man In The Yellow Hat kind of reminded me of my father; he was an outdoorsy guy who brought home strange pets and always seemed to know how to fix situations that had gone wrong.

Anyway, a few years back on the Lead Adventure Forum, someone suggested Curious George and the Man In The Yellow Hat as a Duo for the Pulp Alley game. I don't play that game, but it struck me as a splendid idea to get a couple of appropriate miniatures and paint them up as this pair. And after I acquired them, they sat in a drawer for a couple of years. But I decided I really wanted to finish them up, so here they are.



The Man In The Yellow Hat is from Reaper, and Curious George is from Eureka.

Matchbox Car Scenery

  OK, so a while back I bought a Matchbox car of a 1974 Volkswagen Thing for a dollar, just to see if it was the right size to be a Kubelwagen for background scenery in 28mm WWII gaming. I measured it, and it is 1:58 scale while 28mm is normally considered 1:56 scale (thank you, Warlord Games for standardizing this!) So, close enough for a scenic item, am I right? I know the front end is all wrong, but it should be fine for a bit of background color. It took me a couple of hours to get painted, but I think it turned out well. I need to acquire some decals at some point, and get the windshield frame painted (my hands are too shaky tonight to fo that.) Maybe steal a matching wheel from another toy car to throw on the hood as a spare. But it's finished enough for now. My DAK infantry models are from Artizan Designs, but are still unpainted. Instead, I have a British soldier from the same range shown for scale. The vehicle looks the right dize, with the top of the door being just a

Temperate Forest Scenery Completed!

Image
I have completed another 20 pieces of "Temperate Forest" terrain for 28mm wargaming. I have used a variety of materials, from unflocked Christmas Village trees to product ordered from overseas to aquarium plants to stuff found in Ikea and second stores. It's nice to be finally done with all of these, I feel like I have been collecting this stuff for over 15 years now (which is true, I bought some of the trees while I was managing at Dollar Tree.) These are the terrain stands I completed today. And here is all of the Temperate Forest together. As I play on a 3'x3' game board. this gives me enough to cover pretty much the entire thing. If I leave some open areas, I can run multiple scenarios have different combinations of forest stands every time. Thank you for reading!
