I’ve posted the beginning of my first Project Log. YW7 Project Log :: Castigator
It’s a piece that I’m painting for Tim “absath” Buckley. Follow along, won’t you?

I thought I would show my latest creative effort. It’s an Ork themed Pinewood Derby car. It didn’t start out that way, but as I went along my inner Mekboy took over and this was the result:
More closeup shots and discussion can be found on the forum.

Now that S6 got the theme working, I’m free to develop the remainder of the site. Today marked the addition of the Gallery feature, along with a handy widget that shows the latest models added to the gallery on the sidebar. Right now, only the raw metal shots from PRD have been brought over, but that will gain momentum now that the kinks are worked out.
If you spot any funky bugs in the Gallery, be sure to post them.

I finally had time to amalgamate the research that YW7 did with WordPress plugins, Dead Dogg’s iconography wizardry, and Frank’s CSS work on the forums, to come up with a new theme for our blog.
Hope you enjoy the new look!

I’ve been keeping my posts about my cancer situation confined to my personal blog, but I feel that this one is important enough to share here. I’ll link to my posting for those who wish to read some very good news: Mistake or Miracle?

Come on by and say Howdy. We don’t bite… much.

First off, the forums are nearly ready to open to the public. We’re aiming for the 22nd of September (this Monday) to be finished with the tweaking. I’m sure that will continue past the launch, but the majority of the look and feel will be in place and ready to go for the opening.
Second, as some of you have noticed, our content has started its migration here to this site. That will continue. Expect some major look and feel changes very shortly. I suspect we’ll develop this side of the site “live” so you as the public will get to watch the changes as they happen if you happen to be here at the time. The reasons for doing this are many, but the primary one is we don’t want to keep you waiting any more for the new site. If we wait until everything is “perfect”, then it will never open.
So stay tuned to this space and/or your favorite minis forums. Odds are you’ll see an announcement from us or someone else mentioning that our forums are open for business…

While it may seem on the surface that we’ve been dormant, underneath the hood we’ve been hard at work tinkering on the inner workings. WordPress (the software that publishes this blog) has been updated to the latest version and I’m hard at work getting it prepped to become our new publishing software for the entire website. As things progress you’ll see features turn on & off occasionally as I test them out. I figure while I have time awaiting treatment I might as well put it to use getting things rolling as long as my energy level holds out.
On the forum side, it’s nearly ready. Being artists, we want it to look “right” before we let it loose to the public at large so we’re putting the finishing touches on that. We’re also working on a way to unite the two programs to create a unified login system and look for both sides, although that might take a bit longer. Keep watching this site as it will become the primary site from now on, eventually www.brushthralls.com will redirect to here.
Thanks for all of your continued support, especially those who donated the funds for us to purchase the software and tools to make this all possible.

Hello all. I’ve opened up my own blog site to detail the cancer goings-on so the BT blog can get back to it’s usual business. It’s not out of place here, the BT’s all agree on that, but it does cast a long shadow and it’s a big distraction. This way my family and friends can come read about what’s going on without having to wade through “all of that minis stuff”.
So here’s the new site if you’re so inclined: yw7.brushthralls.com
It’s obviously still a WIP, but I’ve been writing all weekend on it trying to get caught up on all of the tumultuous events of the last month. See you there, or not. I’ll still be here as well.

Has the sky fallen? Is the end nigh?
Possibly.
I managed to finish up a review I was working on before the surgery. It’s on Dragon Forge Design’s Wasteland II series of resin scenic bases. I used it for physical therapy to get used to the keyboard & mouse again. The arms are coming back nicely. My stamina is slowly progressing. I can sit & type for about 4 hours before I need a nap, so this took me several days to complete. Enjoy.
