In 2011, Adam dropped off the internet, and I was wondering if anyone knows how he is? He operated the Miniature History of the American Revolution blog, and was also a member of TMP. His last visit here was 14 November 2011, and his last blog post was 13 November 2011. |

And his last rating (as a professor) was 12/27/15, so
he's probably still there at UND. |

Adam D here. A TMP member alerted me to this thread, and I created a new account so that I could participate. To answer Bill's question, I'm doing fine. I put a lot of time into the blog during 2009-2011 -- so much so that I felt like it was having a negative effect on my work and home life. That bothered me a lot. Also, my wife and I had a third child on the way, and I wanted to really step up and help out at home. I didn't realize it immediately, but my priorities changed and I stopped painting miniatures and working on the blog as a result. I'm still interested in history, and I've read extensively on a number of Revolutionary War battles over the past few years. I've also done a modest amount of new painting. Last summer, for example, I painted up a 15mm version of the Volunteers of Ireland, which was the last unit I needed to do a 1:20 recreation of the Battle of Camden. Most recently I started a 15mm version of the 19th Foot, which fought at Shubrick's Plantation, SC, in 1781. I don't have any plans to revive the blog at this time, but one day I'd like to write about the Revolutionary War again, whether it's through the blog or another medium. |

Keep posting the occasional "progress report" on here, though, yes? I – and I'm sure that I'm not the only one – really enjoyed your stuff. |

Yes, do stop in. I still enjoy the blog updates or not. |

Another vote for occasional updates, AD!
Best wishes. |

Thanks for the comments, I'll be sure to provide updates. |

I've even compiled posts about Cowpens into a booklet and printed it !
All best wishes with your family life, but please dont forget us, admirers of your work. |
