  • March 2021 Project Update

    Welcome to April! Lets take a look at how things are going. Project 365 To start, lets take a look at the count. A good bit of progress! I’ve now managed to paint more models than I’ve bought this year (always a good side of the equation to be on) and made a considerable dent…

  • #HobbyStreak Day 50

    In case you haven’t seen on my Twitter (or have managed to avoid taking part in what can mostly be a hell site), I’ve restarted doing the #hobbystreak. This is where you attempt to do a little bit of hobby every day and keep the streak going. Now, I admit I’m very lucky in being…

  • (End of) February 2021 Project Update

    This may only be a little shorter than the other updates but it is coming out at the start of the next month rather than at a random time. Project 365 First up, this month’s count is standing at: I’m aiming for 31 models painted every month so I managed to hit it. I am…

  • January 2021 Project Update (and some of February)

    Ah. So this was supposed to be a post I was doing at the start of each month but I’ve been a little distracted by actually doing the hobby rather than simply talking about it. Which is a positive I think! But for now, here is a quick check-in for what I did in January…

  • Project WW2 – Infantry Section, 10th (Teesside) Regiment of Rifles

    Corporal Joshua Smith kept low as he made his way through the blasted tree stumps and muddy ditches he’d been calling home for the past few weeks, his Sten gun held in his left hand as the other worked to steady him. The mud underfoot was trying it’s best to throw him on the face,…

  • SITREP – Project WW2 Begins

    Its only taken me two years but I have finally painted my first batch of WW2 British Infantry. Two years of planning, talking about it, getting distracted etc. But now, the first test models are done and I’m ready to begin working on the rest of the platoon, creating a force ready for the very…

  • End of 2020 Project Update

    Well that was a year. I’m sure 2020 wasn’t quite what people had planned going into it but hopefully it worked out okay. Looking back at where I was last year, I’m definitely in a different place but still got a fair few things to work on. This time last year I was starting to…

  • December Project Update

    New month, time for a little update. Seeing as last month was really the intro to all the projects on my plate, this month is a bit more of a check in. Monday evening painting sessions are going ahead, and forming a nice bit of routine in my week (even if I’m struggling to maintain…

  • November Projects Update

    It’s time for a new month! And with the UK about to re-enter national lockdown (not that I’ve noticed much different), there is probably going to be a little more hobby time. As you’ve seen, I’ve really enjoyed posting my little updates, helped especially by the Monday painting sessions with my Dastardly Regular Opponent among…

  • Project Fantasy Skirmish – Update 1

    So it’s been a while since I last talked about Fantasy Skirmishing. Mainly because, like a wargames butterfly, I was distracted by something shiny and disappeared off into doing non-wargaming things for a bit (as well as losing motivation). However, this didn’t stop me picking more models and continuing to think about adventures Name Change…

  • WW2 Project: Introduction

    There comes a point in most wargamer’s life where your eyes start to wander towards collections of tanks and men armed with bolt action rifles. Afternoons spent watching war films, trips to the library to pull down the hardcover book full of black and white photos or endless nights of Call of Duty suddenly lead…

  • Project Dungeon Crawl – The Additional Players

    Ah time to catch up on some of those side projects… Oh. As you might have guess by the slow down on the main blog, I just didn’t have time for very much other than moderns for the last little bit and so my fantasy adventuring plans have gone literally nowhere. I still have a…

  • Project Humvee – Weapon Options

    Last time we looked at Project Humvee, we’d just finished adding another chassis to our convoy. In this post, we’re going to add some more weapon options. When running scenarios, it’s nice to be able to pick from a selection of gear, so the hot-swappable turret system is perfect. But first, I needed to add…

  • Project Humvee – Vehicle 3

    In the last Project Humvee post, I has a chunk planning out Vehicle 3 in the project. Well, this week I managed to get around to assembling and painting it in preparation for next week’s game. First stage was assembly. This was exactly the same as mentioned in back in the first post of Project…

  • Project Humvee – Stowage and Painting

    Last time in Project Humvee, we took a look into the basics of the Spectre range and assembled the chassis for the first two vehicles. This time around, prompted by the need to get some vehicles ready for an upcoming game, we’re going to cover the next step for this project. Adding some details, getting…
