Tracking my progress as I look to improve my miniature painting.

My circle of gaming friends have gone all in on Marvel Crisis Protocol and I felt it was a good time to jump into some terrain building. Just in time Terrainfest started up, which gave me another excuse to build. […]

As my kids get older, they outgrow their toys. Often these are sent to the charity shop or passed onto friends, but sometimes the toys are have too many pieces missing, are too chewed up or generally abused to be […]

As with many of us, I have a number of projects I've started but lost track of as they are covered with the newer shiny things. It will surprise no one that some of them are Kickstart rewards. So I'm […]

"Legions Imperialis" (or Epic to old farts such as myself) has really taken off at my club and I am also getting into other epic scale games such as "Steal rift". as a result I need a set of terrain […]

I have several terrain projects in mind, some Dunland Hovels, some Epic Battles Pike and Shotte Terrain and some other bits and pieces I have lying around.

The ‘room of requirement’ in our house is finally mine! Time to turn it into a hobby and gaming space!

So TerrainFest 2024 without a proper challenge for @brennon to warm up? Well, so be it. My brain is empty as ever and I am drawing blanks like I'm on the pier. This is my story.

Didn't really make much of an effort last TerrainFest. I still have plenty of Terrain to make. A set of Gnawholes for Age of Sigmar. Some assorted bits I have only half thought up. And a few bits for my […]

I had the pleasure of attending Warlord Games's annual Open Day. I borrowed my school Pal Laurie's tripod and microphone, sadly the sound app would not work (had no truck with!!!) with Laurie's sound equipment, so please turn the audio […]

One dog's mission to get all their terrain "table ready".

They say the only way to eat an elephant is one mouthful at a time. A recent Cult of Games weekender spurred me to look at the mountain of "opportunity" I have collected over the last 20 years or so. […]

I love books. I also love minis. I don't have enough place to show all my minis. So why not place them where the books are?

Found some boxes of decorative seed husks / pine cone boxes that inspired some terrain and model making ideas. The Lidl buy-it-now aisle has always been good for wargaming hobbying. These ideas have mostly been for Silver Bayonet but these […]

Got a new house and finally got some real space for my hobby. Time to build my war room. A place for tabletop hobby & games.

A box arrived from Coleraine, over 4500 miles away. It's in rough shape but hopefully the contents are undamaged...

This is my first attempt at painting a display figure in oil paints. The figure is a cheap second-hand plastic model I found on Ebay. It seemed perfect to try out some new techniques and see if I can come […]

I've been planning to clean out my pile of shame and close out some of my unfinished projects for a minute, so why not join in on the fun? Here'll be a record of my general paint ups for the […]

I have several projects that are part finished and close to completion, so for the Spring Clean Challenge I plan to complete as many as possible.

A place in which a variety of hare brained ideas are concocted and corralled.

I wanted to post more often and while I have a couple of Blogs on the go I will use this one to post bits and pieces and more or less document my hobby journey. Hopefully someone will enjoy what […]

My hobby progress for the year.

Cleaning my work and prep spaces as well as clearing some of the long waiting minis. This could mean painting them, putting them away, or even getting rid of some. I really want to get my horizontal spaces back.

Spring Clean Challenge 2024 Project Having just finished painting my Separatists for SW Legion this Spring Clean challenge will be my next objective. Last year was my first taking part, and I got through quite a few things that had […]

The project will feature pieces I am finishing for Salute's painting competition and lots of miniatures in my pile of opportunity. This will include warlord Games's Epic Pike and Shotte, Perry Napoleonics,and a variety of other fantasy sci-fi and historical […]

This will be all my everything else stuff except samurai project . I will be working on a variety of miniature genres this year . And hopefully getting in some gaming in as well.

I run a club and have a whole pile of Terrain either minimally painted or still in it's raw plastic. This year I have decided to make my own Spring Clean Challenge to be to get as much of this […]

This is just a place for me to document the various models I paint during 2024 that are not part of any particular event, such as Dungeonalia or Spring Clean Challenge.

Started Spring cleaning early as I have new and old projects waiting to get started but I need to de-hibernate my workspace.

I have been looking at Threat Level: Emergency Response miniatures. Some are very lovely.

Since I bounce around on what I am painting, I am just opening a project to post what I am working on now.

I like the idea of keeping a log of all the miniatures I paint this year, and what better place for that than here? I think it will be interesting to see how many I end up doing, and also […]

Documenting my hobby space & upgrades.

Last year, I picked up a large garden gnome and tried to paint it applying miniature painting techniques. The experiment left me wanting for more, so when a Florida storm knocked this other gnome off the deck, breaking it in […]

Another year, another record of progress. Or not. Who knows!

Evolution or revolution? Time for a new plan to get stuff done in 2024!

A place for random small mini projects that don't really have a home or purpose apart from learning.
