Needless to say, I didn't achieve my goals of 2023. That's not to say I didn't make progress with various hobby projects.
- Zona Alfa: I painted one additional stalker in hazmat gear. The figure actually comes from an old ESCI "Warsaw Pact" set. However, I painted him with colors resembling the title character from Argentina's classic scifi story "el Eternauta".

| Hazmat "stalker" |
Here's the resemblance to the Eternauta:

| Group pic of all the stalkers so far. |
- Five Leaguers from the Borderlands, Zombicide Black Plague, and fantasy in general:
It's a law of Fantasy that every adventure must start in an inn:
 |
| "Stranger! Have you heard the latest rumors?" (Sculpt by Lionel Crespo of KZK Minis) |
 |
| A catfolk (Reaper Minis) heeds the call to adventure! |
 |
| Unfortunately, the local wildlife has other plans for the innkeeper... |
 |
| These raptors lack feathers and are not accurate to current paleontological findings, but I like them! They are from the WizKids Deep Cuts line, and were painted almost entirely with Speed Paints. |
Can Baldric the Wizard and Morrigan the (good?) Dark Elf from Zombicide Black Plague save the day?
 |
| Baldric from Zombicide Black Plague. |
 |
| Morrigan from the Wulfsburg expansion. |
- Blackstone Fortress & scifi in general:
 |
| Group photo of spindle drones and ur-ghuls. I actually painted all drones and ghuls. |
The heroes are barely started, except Dahyak Grekh (Kroot) and UR-025 who are finished. I think the Traitor Guard are going to be very interesting as generic scifi baddies, as will the Cultists of the Abyss.
I have a crew for Space Station Zero, all primed and ready to be painted.
- My own games: nada.
