A recent weekender asked if visiting a historical battlefield could give you insights for gaming or history. I think it can. This isn’t a full fledged project but rather some references for anyone interested in Iwo Jima.

A little discrete project for this year's Spring Clean Challenge - five Desert Scorpion rough riders from Victoria Miniatures need painting.

I'll be heading to England for the UK Games Expo, and I've decided (perhaps foolishly) to enter the Sir Coates painting competition -- the first time I've ever done anything like this. My first of what will hopefully be two […]

After what feels like an eternity of waiting I now have finished my Battletech Mercenaries Kickstarter pledge. Huzzah!

This year I'm going back to an old vignette that I made in the 1980s. It's been very battered by the passage of time, and I'm going to try to rebuild it, making it better than it ever was.

Much like previous years, for this year’s Spring Clean challenge, rather than a single project, I will be working on various pieces that have either been languishing on my painting desk, waiting for a much needed refresh, or just grabbing […]

Painting an old set of Flintloque models

After digging through my pile of opportunity I decided it was time to finish my boxes of unpainted Dungeon Saga. I painted the starter box The Dwarf King's Quest a couple of years ago and played some nice games. I […]

It's that time of year again when a middle aged man's fancy turns to thoughts of the Spring Clean Challenge. I really should just finish my fungus forest but think an entirely fresh project will be more exciting and jump […]

With all the Gundam projects popping up (and because I don't feel like painting armies), I was inspired to build another diorama with a Gundam. I have about 19 Bandai kits that I collected over 15 years and just left […]

This is "St.Tuomas - the Armored Train". A Heavily modified armored train for frontlines bullet delivery. 47" long when assembled - a beast of a scenery piece for my Trench Crusade gaming board...

A Spring Clean of somebody else's hobby in order to get in games of SAGA. A friend of mine will have less naked plastic and I'll have an opponent for regular games.

The first white dwarf i eve read had a glorious battle report, pitching the Ultramarines against the Eldar. Ive recently come into possession of enough models that i can now build the ultramarine side and decided i'm going to own […]

Lord of the Rings. It's a thing. And my daughter loves it. So much she's seen all Peter Jackson movies (yes that includes The Hobbit ones) multiple times. So what would be a nice gift for her birthday? A nice […]

I may have been painting miniatures for over fifty years, everything from scale train figures to wargaming and role playing minis, but I have never painted a humanoid bust. I did paint a dragon bust a couple years ago but […]

I caved and picked up a cheap copy of the original printing of Hero Quest. Time to do the small repairs and get it painted. I am 12 again, but this time I'm armed with a paint brush and I […]

A quick experiment I tried that I thought others might like to see!?

So like everyone I'm getting into Trench Crusade because it looks awesome. I went for Trench Pilgrims Primarily because of their pointy hats that reminded me of Torquemada the foe (I nearly said Nemesis) of Nemesis in 2000ad. I also […]

Building carry case for miniatures.

Before Jirel of Joiry or Red Sonja, there was Crimson Alizar...or so I'd like to think. This is another little fantasy diorama that I am building to help with the burnout of painting armies. This is how I refresh my […]

It's all about the bandwagon.

A project to chronicle my building of the Real Grade Gundam Hi-Nu (RX-93-v2 Hi-v). It will show my general working approach from panel lining, parts cleanup, assembly and decals. I won’t be showing detailed assembly of every part but more […]

A project in which I propose that perhaps they should introduce drugs tests for painters

Footage from this years Vapnartak show

When I did this last year, I wasn’t sure if it would be a good idea to lump all my miniature painting for the year into one massive year-long project. But it seems to have been received pretty well, so […]

Here I will Post progress on my current Flames of War project. The 21st Panzerdivision in Normandy 1944.

I heard of Gaslands a while ago, I never paid much attention until recently when my YouTube algorithm decided I needed to watch a load of videos of sad little men wasting their time converting childs toys into post apocalyptic […]

This will be a log of my Star Schlock games played throughout the year. Hopefully there will be many.

This is where I'll keep track of my painting projects for this year. I tend to paint a variety of models.

I first saw Mutant Zone Wars in the Weekender then watched the playthroughs OTT did, it looked an absolute blast and in really dig the sculpts! So I bought the core set and painted it up, I loved doing it […]

A small Steampunk'ish set of Islands, Rocks and Sandbanks scenery for Kings of War: Armada

I started this a Army in December 2022 and painted up the last models last September. I meant to document this as I went along but was basically to lazy. I really love rank and flank games and the scale […]

This project is going to be about me painting my frostgrave band that i recently had 3d made for me and this is my 2025 resolution

Iv been commissioned to paint some victrix 12mm WW2 British infantry. I’m not a commission painter generally but have done a few things for this customer namely some pony wars stuff. This will be a different challenge and thought it […]

My hobby goal for 2025 is to play more board games again, having taken a break from them in 2024. I play solo, long content board games, such as Aeon Trespass Odyssey, Tainted Grail, and now Heroes of Might and […]

A small project about AK Real colour markers. This came about after i saw a box of late war German AFV colour markers on there website, so thought i would give them a go and see what result they would […]

This project I think is one of my favourite terrain projects ever.

I rarely do artsy stuff, but every now and then the stars align an I feel compelled to go for it. This tiny diorama was in my mind since last year and I patiently awaited a bit of free time […]

In watching some old Star Trek episodes, I've noticed how they save money by redressing stock sets to make them look more "futuristic." George Lucas did the same thing in the original Star Wars, adding tubes and wires to a […]

Here I will post progress of my Age of sigmar army, planned to get 1500pts painted. Every non hero unit will be painted using speedpaints to save time which then can be invested into the heroes.

Like many a tabletop dice caster, I have become intrigued by Trench Crusade. Here is my attempt and the kitbashing of a New Antioch warband, and it's painting in the grim and dark fashion.

Juggling a part-time job, a fledgling business, and a serious miniature wargaming addiction is no joke. Thankfully, my generous boss, a fellow wargamer, recently dropped off some Space Dwarves and Werewolves from Wargame Atlantic, which came free with magazines. Now, […]
