Work in progress pics of the modern FBI character credentials I'm making for Delta Green gaming. Three color variants... haven't decided on which yet... probably the full color one, maybe the B&W.

That awesome feeling when you realize these two vehicles have the same wheelbase....
Where is my Dremel?

Jada Big-Time 4WD Toyota Tacoma (1/64 labelled; actually closer to 1/55) on the left, Hot Wheela Mid-Scale Chevy Bel Air (nominally 1/50, but 1/43 in width) on the right.

So Amazon Japan was getting rid of some mid-scale (1:50) Hot Wheels... my preferred, yet hard to find, cars for 28mm gaming. I bought all six cases. Don't tell my wife.

I now have:
1x Ferrari 360 Spider
1x Range Rover
1x VW Panel Bus
1x VW Beetle
1x Nissan 350Z
1x '70 Chevy Chevelle
1x '62 Pontiac Bonneville
1x '32 Ford Sedan Hot Rod
2x Hot Wheels Boneshaker
2x '70 Ford Mustang
2x '68 Cadillac
2x '64 Ford Galaxie 500
2x '69 Dodge Charger
2x '70 Plymouth Barracuda
2x '70 Chevy Camaro
2x '67 Pontiac GTO
2x '68 Chevy Camaro
3x Dodge Challenger Concept
3x '59 Cadillac Convertible
4x '57 Chevy Bel Air
4x '59 Chevy Impala
6x '65 Buick Riviera

...to add to the ones I already have.

Notice how good my son is being... he really wants to open all of daddy's toys...

Cthulhu 2010: Japan Now

Call of Cthulhu TRPG (Japanese edition): CTHULHU 2010 - BRP Japan Now

I found the TRPG section of my local bookstore. TRPG being Tabletalk Roleplaying Game to differentiate from RPG video games.

This is a Japanese supplement written by Japanese staff - making it FAR, FAR, FAR better than Secrets of Japan - which f-ing sucked (it is the only CoC book I've ever gotten rid of). 2010 includes Japanese mythos monsters that aren't Godzilla, a chapter on Japanese weapons, Japanese police, investigators, timeline, cults (Japan has tons), and Japanese adventures.

Slowly the translations will begin. Then there are other Japan focused CoC books to do... Cthulhu Cults Now, Cthulu to Teikoku (20s/30s Japan) and, wait for it: Hiezan Enjyo (Burning Mountain) a Sengoku period supplement. Deep ones and samurai... oh my.

The Ultra-Modern Armoury

So what has been going on here at 10x28mm? There haven't been any posts all summer and most of the fall! Yes. that is very true. Honestly it's a combination of lots of stuff and nothing to report. Here's how it breaks down:

No painting, modeling or gaming projects all summer _ nothing to really report. I'd intended to crank out those Future Wars guys but the time never materialized. I'm hoping to get to them as the days get colder and I spend more time inside. Hah! (If you knew me that would be a fantastic joke).

There have been some cool purchases at the toy stores and Hobby Off. Matter of fact I just picked up a mess of 1/50 scale Lamborghinis... Aventadors, Diablos, a Countach... a bunch... and all a wonderful gaming size. I've also continued to support the industry via Kickstarter... and some of the projects have actually begun to arrive... so there will be more there too.

The biggest thing has been recreating a rules program that was lost irretrievably. The weapon stats on this blog all were created with a program I've refined over 20 years to spit out stats after you enter the real world data. Sadly that program was lost last spring. HOWEVER... I have been able to replace it... perhaps even refine it... thanks to some partial notes cobbled together from dozens of documents and notebooks. I've got the program running along again, and have just started to really test it out. This of course has developed into a project of it's own... The Ultra-Modern Armoury. It's running about 30 weapon stats over a dozen entries so far... I'd like to make a new post each month, something I hope is more manageable. I may blitz it a bit now, hoping to make it useful as a gaming resource quickly; there needs to be a critical mass of varied weapon types for that.

Anyway... if I'm a bit rare here, that's where you'll find me.

Hobby Off AVP Finds

Today's finds at Hobby Off:
Aliens Action Fleet Narcissis Lifeboat ¥420 ($3.99)
Aliens Action Fleet M577 APC ¥630 ($5.99)
Predator Action Fleet Warrior Transport ¥1680 ($15.96)

All three are about 28mm scale (Narcissis can be used as a smaller craft than actual scale)... and are thus mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!

P.S. Look these bad boys up on Ebay.. they run about $200 and up. Ha ha! I love Hobby Off
