Goblins from Goblin-town
Posted on 24/04/2021 by sho3box
With a name like that, readers would be forgiven for assuming that this post was part of a series, possibly followed by “Hobbits from Hobbiton” and maybe preceded by “Free-peoples from Freepeopletown”, but it isn’t.

Citadel Harpies (#paintabob)
Posted on 28/09/2019 by sho3box
“Grimmer than these scarce any prodigy, nor any plague e’er rose at the wrath of the gods from the Stygian waves: a winged thing with maiden’s face, belly o’erflowing and most foul, a hooked hand, and face hunger-pale forever.”
— Virgil, The Aeneid, Book III, ll. 253-257… assuming that TVTropes, where I copied it from, is correct, cos I’m not that literary by a looong shot.
Corvids, Greek myth, eighties political satire, Contrast paint and Bob Olley = profit.

I started painting an Elric model earlier this year, but managed to finish his companion Rackhir first. Elric still broods on my painting table, appropriately enough.

(Flashing) Enter the Dragon (Rampant)
Posted on 25/03/2016 by sho3box
After thirty years of painting toy soldiers I painted my very first dragon recently, plus its progeny.
The model is part of a dragon related group project that I have been taking part in and so…
…THE…
“Scale Creep” is a new toy soldier related project that I am involved in with a group of productive hobby buddies.
The plan for this new blog is to keep the emphasis on group projects, plus a bit of hobby related schoolboy goofing around too. The post about this dragon is my first solo contribution to Scale Creep, so pop over and take a look at that and see if it appeals.
The other contributors are talented, interesting and fun guys, so it should feature plenty or worthwhile content as time goes on.
Sho3box isnt going anywhere however and will operate entirely independently of Scale Creep, with overlap here and there as appropriate.
More Shonen Knives are in the pipeline, so expect the next batch of them here soon.
