It's Been a While Since I've Posted Anything...

I still don't have anything to post just yet, so here's a picture of a Combat Garden Gnome squad being overrun by snails:
Snail Counteroffensive

The best part is this little detail:
Snail Counteroffensive 2

Stay tuned.  More interesting stuff to come.

In the meantime, if you want some Combat Gnomes of your own, you can pick them up in my etsy shop at http://etsy.com/shop/thorssoli.
