A year later my cousin Sven sculpted this dog and 
received an honorable mention from Kev Adams and Brian and Wendy Froud, the jury of the FU-UK Pro-Am Sculpting Competition 2007.

This Blog

This blog will be about collecting miniatures, sculpting, painting and gaming. Some posts will be in German, most in English.

I meet about once a week with a friend to play 40K, Warhammer Fantasy or Hordes of the Things. I also used to play a lot of Pirates! by Flagship Games and DBA and would like to get into ancient wargaming again.

I can spend hours looking at old miniature catalogues or surfing miniature company sites.

I also like to sculpt and paint, but I'm rather slow at that.

Being a struggling filmmaker with three little kids, maybe I shouldn't spend so much time on this hobby at all, but then it's so addictive ...
