Remember how last week I managed to get a chunk of stuff done? Sadly this week was the opposite. That said, still a few things to talk about, from preparing figures for painting, looking at terrain and even completing a model. Oh and I rant a little bit about Call of Duty I guess.

After last week’s cleaning, this week I actually got some more hobby stuff done. I’ve been learning to make bread with the breadmaker my mum and dad passed onto me after replacing their own. But you’re not here to hear about that, you’re here to hear about the painting I got done in preparation for my day of Old Worlding with the Regular Opponents and old friends. So let’s jump in and talk about that! Before that though, a quick post. The MDF sales are still up – I’m going to do a larger push to try and get more…

Another week has gone by so it’s time for a new update. I’m going to be brutally honest, this week was definitely not a big hobby one. Due to preparing for a family visit (and getting the house sorted), I spent most of the week tidying my hobby stuff away rather than using it. The visit went well though and a clean house means a clean mind. Speaking of housekeeping, let’s talk about the blog. The MDF sales are still up. I’ve actually posted out a few buildings this week – if they have survived their trip to a reasonable…

I was away for two weeks, and luckily nothing major happened. Only a pile of new releases, previews, rules announcements and more. So basically I can never take a holiday ever again. As a moment of note, this is the 52nd News Stand, meaning we’ve been running for just over a year! There have been a few weeks off but it’s great to see how things have moved forward and evolved.
