It's been far too long since I updated here. Sadly, the lack of updates is not because I've been too busy playing games, or painting until my fingers bleed. No, it's simply that Real Life(©®) keeps getting in my way. Job. Kids. Wife. All that important stuff. The usual story. *sigh*
Ironically, I was very busy over the Summer (which ended a few months ago, I know) constructing terrain. Yay! Here are some pictures of what I managed to accomplish. Some of this terrain will find its way onto my Sci-Fi table, and some of it will be used on my Colonial/Fantasy/VSF table (for pictures of those games, see my other blog: Kelroy Was Here
Click the pics to enlarge them. Please enjoy, and if you feel the least bit inspired by my handiwork, leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

| All my new bright and shiny river sections. And I mean shiny in the literal sense. See next picture. |

| The rivers have a glossy sheen, just like the real stuff! |
