In the red

So I'm not doing myself any favors regarding my 2009 pledge. Yesterday a new figure arrived, Cool Mini or Not's limited edition "Army Brat". The figure is a Werner Klocke sculpt, and, typical of some of his best work, the figure is more than a bit cheesecake. But I really liked Klocke's work, and always a sucker for artificial scarcity, the limited edition aspect made it a must buy for me.

Unfortunately, while I was hoping for the figure to be in the 28mm scale of the Reaper models that he sculpts, it is instead in the much larger 30-32mm scale of Klocke's boutique company, Freebooter Miniatures - far too out of scale with most of my figures for her to even qualify as some sort of Amazon. So, she'll probably just end up being a display model for me, provided my respect for her "limited edition" status doesn't see me keeping her locked away inside her blister packaging. :p

I still have a space marine tactical demi-squad well under way on my painting desk and with any luck I'll be in the black by the end of the weekend (I know, I know, I said that about last week too).

  1. Ahh I know the feeling.

    Thank you for the tips. I didn't look at it from that perspective. I confess I was ignorant about the asking people to click part. Oh well, no big.

    Still I don;t like not being able to promote something I am invilved in so I'm just nixing the ads althgether. I took your advice and removed the posts.

    Good looking out and thank you!

  2. Glad no offense was taken! I realized after submitting the comment that it might of come across a bit as "Duh, what were you thinking?". But the terms and conditions that just carry along with a lot of software applications are a bugger like that and unfortunately many people have no clue what they're signing up for.

    Anyways, like I noted before, get back to providing some more good updates! As you can see, I'm terrible at doing that myself so I live vicariously through other more diligent bloggers. :)
