My name is Bill Landrum alias Colonel Hairy Haggis. How I got that moniker would take much to long to tell and would bore folks to tears. Let's just say it's a funny story that I'll tell over a good whiskey.
I've been gaming with miniatures since 1959, when I got my first Blue/Gray Battles set for Christmas. I started formal "club" gaming in 1972 with a group of notables that included such people as Craig Taylor, Tony Stubblefield, John Parris, Larry Brom, Gavin Pickens, and a host of other noble foes too lengthy to remember them all here. Needless to say, I have had a well-rounded wargaming experience.
I am president of the Palmetto State Wargaming Society. We have had as many as 35 gamers on our active rolls, and we will be starting a "new" year gaming at Borderlands - a marvelous gaming/comic shop here in Greenville, South Carolina.
To further amuse and amaze you, here are some pictures of me and my hobby shop and other stuff:
Here I am painting something...
The Haggis in his hole!
This next picture is some of the things I'm working on. Can you say multitask, boys and girls? I'm very deep into gaming Victorian Science Fiction, and aerial combat games.
And that's just above the paint desk!
This is the paint desk.
Here is the sculpting desk...
Sculpting for fun!
More fun!
Here is a project ready to be packed and sent to the caster. This is one I'm doing for money! Don Perrin gave me leave to paint the Simians. He is without doubt the best guy to sculpt for! Look for an announcement soon from Perrin about a great new line of miniatures.
Here I am game master of a Wings game at Warfair in Atlanta in 1998.
Here is a closer look at my scratchbuilt 15mm scale WW1 aircraft. I also invented the flight stands, and the map they are flying over was hand-done by Tony Stubblefield and myself. The map is 5 feet wide and 12 feet long. Tony started drawing hexes at one end and I started at the other - we met in the middle. That's our story and we're sticking to it!

Well I probably have bored you to tears by now with my dull life, so I'll just leave you with this thought. Vote for me, and vote often! Thanks for looking.
