THE TIBETAN CORPSE RACING OLYMPIAD: I have found the perfect Ox Cart for this game. Amazon Miniatures carries exactly what I'm looking for, and cheap enough that it's worth my while to buy instead of build:
As you may remember from a few strategic FALL IN purchases, I have the cute
Victorian Children from Westwind and Wagon Drivers from Dixon.
I'm going to make a concerted effort to find Tibetan heads for the drivers, if possible.
Lastly, I have made a verbal agreement with a certain eccentric transplanted English gentleman to paint and convert some GW plastic zombies into rotting zombie jockeys, replete with silks.
More as the game develops.

RETURN TO LILLIPUTThis is a game idea that is pretty close to finishing up; it stalled because I lacked funds for some really nice terrain. I'm rethinking the terrain idea, based upon the new terrain hex tiles I received from Lost Battalion games. Seems to me that a couple of sets of the hex tiles would provide me with everything I need to make the game work. I will likely run this at COLD WARS.
Rules: about 90% done, need playtesting.
Figures: Pirates: 100% done, Lilliputians: about 60% done-- I need to base and flock a bunch of the little folks, and acquire and paint more of them.
That's where I'm at right now!
