About the Project
After moving house I have obtained a new hobby space in the garage but aren't sure what to do to it. So in looking for any ideas and help before I wreck the place
Related Genre: Family
This Project is Active
Hammerhead
My purchases from the hammerhead show today. I wanted to carry on with my empire of the dead and napoleonic projects and 1918 as I only have three other ww1 games so I need another 
I also picked up these two trouble makers from crooked dice and got them painted this afternoon. I'm thinking Eddie and Richie vs the apocalypse 
My favourite game was the Alamo made of legs style bricks
Last minis of the year
I got the trench crusade prussian strosstruppen warband for Christmas and spent the last couple of days painting them up. I'm not planning on putting together a trench crusade project just yet so I thought I'd post them here. I have to say I really enjoyed painting these guys up the minis are great. 
2025 part two
I've been creating a fallout vault one room at a time. This next year I'll be doing some residential areas of the vault 
Everytime I go to a wargaming event I visit the westwind stand and pick up some empire of the dead minis. To go with them I got 3d printing a table for some steampunk games. Still need to work on the docks and a sewer system 
Another golden button was for my Turnip28 conversions which is a fun break from more rigid painting. Still need to play the game
One game I did play was some solo missions of Bughunt from 5 parsecs from home. This used my aliens collection and I think I got a golden button for this. Fun holiday faming that I'll be doing more of.
Next year I'll be doing a large blackpowder game of the American revolution. I'm still working on this collection 
Halloween game night of Don't look back
Yavin4 terrain fest table. Last golden button of the year.
For a game of fallout wasteland warfare I 3d printed the red rocket which was a bit of a task and turned out bigger than I expected 2025 part one
Looking back on my hobby achievements this year started with finishing my Martian empires collection after the range came to an end. I didn't manage to get everything for the armies but plenty for some games of victorian science fiction.
On a similar small scale I started 3d printing some 6m starwars. I started with scariff but I have done some mimban mud troopers at this scale I'm yet to add to the project.
Once a month we have a game night at work and in the summer I reworked my Nottingham cheese riot game. Set in 1766 we had gangs of women throwing rocks and stealing cheese. The game winners was the gang with the most cheese Loot.
All year I've been working on napoleonic armies for shakos and bayonets. I put together both a Russian and Spanish skirmish forces. I need to add more cavalry to both these armies and the French and British I already have so more to come
Another game night was a pirate adventure using the legends of the high seas warhammer rules. I won a golden button for this set up. This collection is still at work waiting for a second game.
I also got some games of eagles of empire in this year for the Franco-prussian war. Had fun with thus game. It's very different and I would like to do more.Partizan Loot
I had no purchasing list for the partizan wargames show but I came away with a lot of napoleonic themed minis with a bit of steampunk 
Salute Loot 2025
Salute this year felt far busier than in recent times and I enjoyed shuffling from table to table. I purchased enough to keep me going. I got more books than I was planning. I want to try out an alien themed parsecs game. Like everyone else in the room I wanted guards of traitors toll but I'm still interested in adapting it for something historical to go with my museum work. Eagles of empire have some Bavarian reinforcements thanks to the perry's and because I got three boxes I got a free Spanish officer for the the new Spain kits. 
A few minis to bolster my empire of the dead and a lady who fans of Sharpe might recognise to go with my new Spanish.
I was impressed by the beowulf 3d printed scenery and got these for my judge dredd table. It was a lot to carry home and should keep me busy for at least a week A year of projects
As its the end of the year I thought I'd have a look at what I've done this year and what to plan for next year. The spring clean project this year was my terminator collection where I worked on some new scenery and used a selection of minis for resistance fighters to replace the ones in the game to remove the taint of those later movies.
My American colonial wars is nearing to an end. I have two new buildings to add to this collection and that will bring this to an end. 
The Battle of Dorking sees the Prussian invasion of 19th century England. I still have a couple of units to pick up for this with the idea of using the Men who would be Kings as a mini campaign for the push towards London.
The follow up to my cheese riot game I called Thieftakers. Blending the original Judge Dredd game with Georgian crime and punishment.
This year I completed my Alamo project but I still need to complete a couple of battle reports but the collection is complete.
Victorian sciencefiction continues and isnt ending any time soon. Next year I plan to complete my Martian Empires range of 18m armies.
Over the Top WW1 project has moved to the middle east thanks to wargames atlantics range including the ottoman 3D printed heads. Maybe Arabs for new year. 
My exploration into 3D printing led me into a Fallout Vault which I might expand a bit more
The Victorian Empire continues to expand with more troops for Afghanistan but next year I want to add Maoris
I continue to add to my Ghost archipelago range which isnt ending anytime soon. I'm still working through the monster encounter lists. 
Terrain fest runner up prize for my cabin in the woods for evil dead. Still need to complete the interior but a highlight of the year. For Dungeonalia I completed a project for Aliens as a side project to my ever growing Alen range.
New storage
I don't want any more storage boxes but wanted something I can display items on and move some of my books onto. This stuff is cheap and cheerful and my gaming tables can be folded away when not in use for more space. The printer isn't working at the moment. Not sure if I've worked it to death.
