Crisis 2016 convention report

Now that I am back from a very nice weekend in Antwerp I would like to show you some pictures of Crisis 2016. I took about 330 pictures therefore it took me a wile to sort them all out therefore the report is only up now. Feel free to leave comments .

So here are the pictures. To start with a few pictures of the venue:

First is an absolutely stunning game showing Romans against Barbarians . What I think is really outstanding is the boats on the river!

So this is it for Crisis 2016. It was a very good show again and it was even bigger then last year! Go on like this Tin soldiers of Antwerp ! I will be back next year!

Tyrion Lannister

A few years back ( I think in 2013) my son converted a Tyrion Lannister out of Perry plastic parts and modeling putty. He gave the figure to me for painting as he himself didn’t want to paint him . Now I will start painting the figure shortly and I thought to show you some pictures of the unpainted figure first . To show how the conversion was done.

TL1

Here you see that he shortened the arms and sculpted new hands. The legs were built up out of modeling putty and wire . The hair was sculpted on.
