What is all this then?

The smoke filled the air, along with the wind and snow it created a strange hot and cold sensation. He was forced to close his eyes. When they did open he realized the sounds were gone as were his friends. There he was alone and lost. 

Well I am going to try and provide a diary of my miniature painting and adventures. I envision this as a place where I will update my military miniatures and what I am working on. So lets say more hopefully to come and maybe the Lost Voltiguer can find his way!!!
