TiannaStarfall Website Removed

I have decided to retire the TiannaStarfall webiste for the time being. It has been fun showcasing my painted miniatures but I have not had the time to give it the regular updates that I would have liked. I may revive the site on a new host/server if I get some more inspiration! I shall keep this blog spot going a while longer to use for any major announcements or updates and to let you know that I am still around and interested in all things gaming :)

I am still selling painted miniatures on Ebay so check out the link to my Ebay store on the left if you are interested.

You can still contact me for any painting commissions you require.

Finished the Myst series of PC games

Twenty years since I first played the PC game Myst I finally finished the fantastic series!

I still remember the experience of playing the first Myst, headphones on, totally immersed in another world, it was like no other game at that time and was probably the one that got me hooked on PC gaming.  This was a time of limited internet and no FAQs/cheats/walkthroughs - making the game a real challenge, writing notes as you explored and worked out the puzzles.  You felt like you were a part of the story and got a real sense of achievement when you came to the end.  Over the years I have played many computer games (mostly fantasy based RPGs and adventures) and the Myst series slotted in among them, Riven, Exile, Revelation, each time felt like coming home.  I recently played Uru (and Uru to D'ni) and felt like the story had lost it's way but followed it quickly with End Of Ages and was pleased that they managed to get the atmosphere right again and had a fitting end to this saga.

Sure there are many great PC games out there now, but if you have never experienced the worlds of Myst you really have missed out, not just on a piece of gaming history, (and amazing soundtracks including the talent of Peter Gabriel and Jack Wall), but on a journey you will never forget.

 

Moist Von Lipwig new to Discworld Miniatures

The latest sculpt from Kul Asyrk - made for MicroArt Studios as usual...



I wonder if it will be out in time to coincide with Going Postal by Mob Films - soon to be aired on Sky in the UK?

It also looks like Kul Asyrk is working on Igneous the Troll and the Senior Wrangler, good to see the Discworld collection gradually expanding.

New Discworld Sculpts

Check out the latest sculpts from Kul Asyrk posted on coolminiornot, I expect these "greens" will soon be available to buy as metal multi-part figures from MicroArt Studios.

The latest releases are shown below, the pictures are taken from the MicroArt Studios shop pages, but please remember that they are sold by them unassembled and unpainted with plain black bases. I am happy to assemble and paint any of this Discworld range of figures for only £10 per figure, this does not include the cost of the figure or postage. I can produce the same colour scheme as those shown on the MicroArt Studio website shop or produce a unique figure to your own design. Simply contact me if you are interested.
