Kobold Army - and a few goblins

I had the worst time with the auto-focus trying to take these pictures. They're in scale to the D&D miniatures we use... about an inch tall. I made the kobolds for my son. The blue goblins were a gift for my game DM. If I make any more I'll put a smidge of orange in the blue to dull it. I think the scraps of salvaged chain mail came out fabulous.

Your son mentioned his army of custom kobolds on my blog.

Nice job! I'm jealous, now :)

Thank you. :-)

I wish they showed better in the pictures. I had so much fun with them. One of the kobolds looks like it's raising its hand to ask a question and one has "forgotten" its weapon. "Oh noes! I has forgot my spears!" One of the goblins has the "sword" (bits of paper-clip) on the base as if it had a critical fumble.

I don't quite know how little guys without all that much detail can look like they've got such individual expression... maybe I just have a really good imagination! LOL.

I certainly had way too much fun.

It's Not Projection

Take the case of "fascism". When you can see clear as day that the person who is accusing you of fascism is a fascist, they aren't projecting. They're talking about something ELSE. Basically, in the case of fascism, the basic set of fascist government controls are the default assumption of reality for a whole lot of people. The government is supposed to control every part of your life. The government is supposed to make you moral and good and reflect "justice". The government is supposed to do this by picking winners from the good people and losers from the bad people. The government is supposed to control the way people do business, how businesses (and farmers) function and what they produce. And people should be made to cooperate with this control because they are part of society and society is dependent on everyone being in compliance. This is simply the Truth. It's how the world works and how the world is supposed to work. The Socialist Nationalism,

What You Know That Isn't So

The saying goes like this, It's not what you *don't* know that is going to trip you up, it's what you know that isn't so. I believe that the first lady might possibly have been feigning helplessness, just a little bit. She already had concept art and visuals, so I think she'll be okay. But someone might truly be so new that they know nothing about science fiction as a genre or how it works in the world. That person, the truly "new" person, might not realize that the second lady, no matter how assured she seems to be that she's passing on vital Wisdom, is wrong. So lets unwrap her backpack a little (to steal a metaphor). Stories about space pirates are Space Opera, generally. "Soft" science in science fiction usually refers to sociology or psychology, social "science". A story about space pirates might be "soft". But that's picking nits. The first big boo-boo is this: "not as popular *because* it is women
