Surviving Snow Storm 2025, Other Things, like many of you, I had deal with a snow storm. It was not worse than I have been in. I will also give some updates on various figures.
Surviving Snow Storm 2025 Not Fun
As mentioned earlier, I had to deal with a major snowstorm. We got between 12 and 16 inches of snow. In the past, I would shovel everything sometimes with some help. This time, because of age and health, I hired someone to do the job. Also, my neighbors, Matt and Sally, used their snowblower to clear my car.
This storm has not been bad. The worst was in 1996, when we got 30-plus inches. It took four hours to dig out the cars. Laurie and I were living at my old house on Ninth Street. I was throwing the snow to the other side of the street. A police car pulled up, and the officer said you know, you can’t throw it on the street. I replied that I was throwing it other side. The officer replied, “I don’t want to give someone a ticket.” He drove off.
Twenty minutes later, I was still digging the cars out when another police car pulled up. I thought, here we go again. I looked into the car and saw it was my cousin. We talked about family.
Mars Dismounted Polish Lancer
Mars is showing a figure from a future set. The set is Dismounted Polish Lancers. Very likely, this set will be a 3D production. As we get more information, we will let you know.
Combat Collectibles Update
Combat Collectibles has done an update. He showed his first test print of their WWI Germans.
Please note: 2 more figures will be included in the set. The ultimate goal is to produce these figures in rubber — these prints are strictly test pieces. They were printed at the printer’s lowest settings, and even so, the detail came through exceptionally well (even better in person). What do you think?
Warhorse Miniatures Saxon Sets
Mike Predergast of Warhorse Miniatures is showing two new sets. The first is Viking Huscarls.
The other set is Saxon Shields Two.
Mike is also showing a preview of his German paratroopers. Mike will also be on Paul Knapp’s show. You can see Mike on Paul Knapp’s Show on YouTube. You watch it here.
