About the Project
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.

February (start of week 8)
I’ve not done much in terms of painting the last few weeks but I have finally finished off my 10mm Black Dogs of Khaz Modan.
A few models needed some paint touched up but mostly it has just been about milliput, grey paints and homemade snow pastes. I’ll wait for a better weather day to get them all varnished but I’m very happy to call them done!
All based on 40x40mm
Chieftain doesn't come with his carriers but it just didn't seem right that he just sat in a chair otherwise. Thankfully I had some warriors left over and with a bit of snipping and bending, he now has a more authoritative presence 
January - 10mm round up
After deciding, entirely of my own free will (nothing to do with Gerry), that I want my 10mm based for Fantastic Battles I started rebasing the dwarves from my Khaz Modan army project from my old username. Looking up that link I realised I’ve painted up a fair bit since then that I didn’t post about so once everything is rebased I’ll get updated photos all round.
I finished off painting some extra warriors in January as well (72 minis) and as I was basing them over, put in the extra effort I was too lazy for last time round.I also wanted to make sure that all the bases could touch each other without the spearmen stabbing people which hadn’t been posible on the 20mm deep Warmaster bases before.
Milliput work, bit of painted splodged on and some homemade snow paste all done over a couple of evenings watching the Lord of the Rings extended editions. Much happier with how they look and now just need to get the rest of them done…
Single base (40mmx40mm)
New vs old 
Warrior companies completed
January - 28mm round up
I had no intention of waiting this long to add a post but somehow we’re nearly seven weeks into the year already.
January was a little slow on the painting front. I painted some MESBG minis for the Battle Streams in Middle Earth Stream so let’s start there. All are lovely metal minis so it was a good start to the year
First of 3 Rohan Royal Guard dismounts painted. All with sword not because it is better in game but because I want to use their spears for some mounted conversions.
All three, Gerry shot
Helm's Deep Aragorn
Fellowship Legolas. The base isn't finished because he will be part of the Balin's Tomb diorama base and I haven't finalised the colours I want to use for that yet....and so it begins...
Who are you?
New year, new project, blah, blah, blah. For me, also a new profile. There was a forum question a while back about changing names but it’s not possible and I can’t have that nasty old reminder of much more miserable times in my day to day any more so here we are. Starting fresh. It’s a bummer to leave behind all the XP but I’ve tucked my golden butt-butt-dings into a safe place and I’m ready to go adventuring fresh again.
What is this?
Hopefully I’ll be able to get a couple of the old projects shared to this new name and I have several big projects planned for this year, each of which will get it’s own project log for more detail. This is a place to just dump weekly progress esp as I’m in a mini golf league and forget each month what I’ve painted XD
I’m aiming to post once a week or so but honestly it’ll more likely depend on when I’m sitting at a PC instead of trying to use the site on my phone.
Got to put in a picture cos no one reads project logs do they?
