Welcome to the Highlander Studios blog.

I won't promise any earth shattering revelations here. What I will be trying to do is post some new products as I release them, share some thoughts on gaming and show some pics of games and other stuff that I enjoy. So come in and make yourselves at home.

The Ape Man Cometh, Part II


     As I get back into the swing of work this year, the first new release at Highlander Studios, Inc. Is the new Ape Man set.

     The previous set was well received and is still available.


VIC-01     Ape Man Set     $5.00


     There were several requests for a set including standing versions of the humans. A simple conversion of the existing ape and new male and female sculpts were all that was needed.



     This set was included as a stretch goal in Two Hour Wargames' Larger Than Life Kickstarter and is now available for purchase separately at Highlander Studios.

VIC-02     Ape Man Set 2     $5.00


     Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

In Memorium


     Our friends are never perfect, but sometimes they are the perfect friend.


     I've been out of touch with a lot of things for several months, this blog being one of them. My best friend, Deane Goodwin, was diagnosed with cancer about two and a half years ago. His health started to noticeably decline this past year, dramatically so since Thanksgiving. During that time most of my painting and sculpting fell by the wayside as I made as many trips to visit, sort and move things as I could. He died last month.


     I could write volumes of our dreams and exploits, successes and failures. I'd rather hold tight to those memories and share them with those close to me or Deane as the spirit moves or maybe on days when I can examine them without breaking down in tears. I will share that I can't remember exactly how we became friends, but in typical Deane fashion, we hit the ground running. We had dreams and big plans and actually achieved many of them. Life was faced full on and there was no falseness between us. I could always count on the kick in the ass when I needed it and also the sharing of the joy of our successes. We were friends with no regrets.


     As I start to settle back into work and things become a bit more normal, I have one wish... That everyone could experience a friendship like that between Deane and me at least once in their life.
