I fancied something a little different to print and paint, as I usually just do dungeon crawler stuff to play with mates once in a blue moon. Saw some lovely sculpts from the Red makers that a lot of people […]

On the 22nd June we should be getting the keys to our new house, which means over ten years of hobby stuff (amongst some less important stuff) needs packing up, moving to the new house, and setting up in the […]

3D printed Republic Command center and clonetrooper crew for SW Legion

In my ever expanding quest to come up with new ideas for bases for my huge collection of Malifaux crews, I started work on some pig sty bases for Ulix and friends!

With limited time to spend on my hobbies I struggle to get to a point where I can actually play a game. I get stuck in a loop of buying miniatures for a game but only having time to paint […]

Highlights from the 2022 Partizan Show held at Newark Showground, UK on 22 May 2022

It took my FGS (not local) 175 days to get me the copy of Bot War. This project will be the record of what I will do with it. I will mirror this project on my blog but in German. […]

Pretending I am being responsible by only buying minis if I get the stuff I own painted, or mostly painted.

This is a Zona Alfa project where I paint up the hostiles needed for the game. I will be donating these miniatures from my collection to my club so anyone can set-up a game any time they want. It is […]

Building the HMS Surprise from the famous movie "Master and Commander" in 1/700 scale for the game Black Seas

Well over 10 years ago I bought these pieces of terrain from a stall at a local wargames show. While they’ve served their time on the table through many battles I’ve wanted to either replace them with something better or […]

A friend asked me to paint up his HeroQuest set. I foolishly said yes.

My very first project, so here goes, saw the Space Marine Primaris minis and just loved the look of them, problem was i don't play WH40k so i thought well why not use them for a futuristic army for my […]

I’m taking two kits from my shelves of shame and smushing them together into yet another Warhammer 40,000 diorama! Imagine an Ork Warband, returning home from a victorious skirmish against the forces of Chaos. In this diorama, a battle-scarred Ork […]

Hello from California! Relative newcomer to OTT. My good friend @144artist shared the spring cleaning challenge and I needed a good kick in the pants to get painting again and clear off a stalled project. Time to finish off my […]

A small assortment of random models in need of paint - perfect for a Spring Clean Challenge.

This project has been languishing for years now, and the new Spring Cleaning Hobby Challenge, has encouraged me to get them done. I have a goodly amount to do, but I have a bit of a head start. I did […]

I have been interested in going more epic scale and to use smaller area for a possible blackpowder style time period. I wanted to minimize the space it would take up as not a primary time period I play. I […]

After being inspired by MORK BORG, I decided to dive into the Frostgrave bitz collection and make each of the main classes from the Rulebook. I might then go beyond this and do a few more if I feel inspired. […]

I've dug out the Terminator miniature game with the hope of bringing it back to life.

I created a diorama in 1992 for the International Model and Engineering Exhibition but it was never entered because they scrapped the fantasy and sci-fi model competition classes. That was a real shame because I’d managed to get a Highly […]

So it's that time of the year again. Like many of us, I have numerous wargaming rule sets. I picked up Maurice by Sam Mustafa when it first came out and purchased two 10mm armies from Pendraken in the UK […]

I have been making custom gaming tokens for many years as an alternative to buying third party manufactured ones. In this project I briefly outline the process for those interested in giving it a go.

+Transcript - Bridge Officer report+ “We have reluctantly made planet fall following Director Krennic’s instruction. This backwater rock is locally referred to as ‘Gamu’, though I can find no imperial records listing the planet by that name.” “Speculation regarding the […]

A follow along with the creation updating and painting of my Nomads force for Code One & Infinity the game.

This was my second game of One Page Rules: Age of Fantasy. In my first game I played against the same opponent who ran a slightly larger 1500 point goblin list.

This is the yearly accounting for all the year's hobby mischief and mayhem. Here are the elements of what goes on behind closed Advent doors. I'm a bit of a bastard starting to write this in February after a month […]

After growing tired of the cognitive burden of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar 3rd edition, I build my first list for One Page Rules: Age of Fantasy using my existing Disciples of Tzeentch army as a basis.

A buddy and I have set up a YouTube channel to play 10mm Kings of War and 40k Epic (amonst other things). We purposely have tried to keep the videos around 10 mins to keep them quick and interesting. Enjoy.

Building the forces and terrain needed to recreate the Alamo campaign using Warhammer historicals legends of the old west.

This project will follow my progress while working on The Longest Day box set for Bolt Action.

The 4th Skye Rangers defend their world from periphery pirates.

I decided I don't play enough games so splashed out on the Escape from San Canciano starter set for TTCombat's Carnevale game.

I decided to keep a track of what hobby I get done in 2022 Vs a considerable backlog of well intentioned projects...

Painted up this biker as a challenge to myself. In the classic Akira power slide pose this paint job has one side in light with the other reflecting the Neo Tokyo night lights. I added some water effects to the […]

I was working in the lab, late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab, began to rise And suddenly to my surprise He did the monster mash It was a graveyard smash […]

What happens when a Chaos Knight meets a Deathstrike Chimera-variant tank in the pretty countryside of Warhammer 40.000? They don’t shake hands or play football, that’s for sure! These two large Games Workshop model kits smash together and destroy a […]

Thought it would be good to have a general hobby log in addition to more specific projects. Aiming for a round up post once a week.

This year's resolution project will be to complete 25 units in a bingo style challenge.
