My Splintered Light Village Personalities

I recently was digging through my collection of unpainted miniatures and came across a set of6 figures, produced by Splintered Light Miniatures. These “Village Personalities” include a rabbit gentleman and his muskrat lady housemaid, a crazy toad, a distinguished badger, rat and mole. I was considering painting the rabbit gentleman to display with a poem I wrote for this purpose. I will need to retake a picture of rabbit, for the first take came out a bit blurry.

Earlier on I made a post that mentioned these miniatures. The post made a mention of a site that featured some of these miniatures. Recently, I found another site that also featured these miniatures. I feel rather daunted by the quality of work on these miniatures.

Pops Hops Rabbit and his Guinness Stout

Pop Hops the rabbit hopped across the road for a pint at the pub. A pint or two with a game of darts would have been sufficient, but instead he had several with his fellows. There were the other Rabbits McHew, and McKay. The badger O’Tooney and hedgehog McLay. There was much talk, Stout, and the game of darts that made them all hot. There is nothing better, to cool a rabbit down, than another Guinness.

On his return home, which was a hop across the street; Pop rabbit was involved in a misadventure that got him fixed to the macadam. God rest his soul.

Obituary

Pops Hops Rabbit was the sole owner of the Hops Brewery, which is famous for its early spring ale, and its autumn stout. Pops is survived by his wife, Sally and their three children, Mopsey, Floppsy, and Peter rabbit. No word on whether the Hops Brewery will continue to produces its famous Ales and Stouts. Lettuce hope so.

Inspiration for my Splintered Light Miniatures

I recently found a page that features some painted Splintered Light miniatures. Some of the painted miniatures are of those that I had recently ordered (scroll down a bit and look for the review for the village personalities).
