This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

By Eric Hotz, he of Harnmaster.

Ancient wargames usually leave me cold, but man do I wish I had the manual skillz and patience it takes to assemble those paper models.

Check out the Enfilade 2006 gallery and the historical port diorama. Drool.

Very nice.

When I have time, though, I should post a pic of the cardboard & toothpick Greek trireme I made back in 7th grade.

Can´t find it right now, but there´s minis for that stuff, too.

You mean minis as in ships?

I tremble at the thought of what a 1/300 pewter trireme might retail for. On the website, EH says a small fleet would cost around $1000.

But fuck, I´ve seen some way these go for just 1 or two bucks. Something like flattened, elliptical bases...if I only could find it...

The first ones are tres cool. Not even THAT expensive... for those who, unlike me, know how to paint.
