  • Looking Back, Looking Forward – 2023

    2022 is over and a new one has begun! Traditionally, at this point, I’d break out the stats and graphs, show you the diagrams, and then talk about the plans I have for the year. Then we’d laugh at all the stuff I promised I’d do last year and then didn’t get around to, slap…

  • November 2022 Recap โ€“ Things Getting Busy

    Okay, so literally on the day I’m writing this, I’m looking through and signing a big pile of paperwork that should be finishing off my house purchase. This whole thing has been kind of a nightmare the entire way (and there is still stuff that needs doing even after I pass the money over) but…

  • October 2022 Recap – So Much Stuff I Can’t Come Up With A Witty Title

    Dear god, where has the year gone? As an update, still fighting through the house shenanigans and waiting for some more paperwork to go through. That said, I’m still working to push forward, try out new things and keep on the grind for the old. I’m also feeling a little bit better about things in…

  • September 2022 Recap – Not Much Painting, A Lot Of Writing

    Holy crap we’re into October already. When did that happen? House stuff is still rambling on, not helped by the current joyride the UK Economy is currently having. For this reason, I still have all my hobby gear up and running, the 3D printer still slamming away and I’ve been trying to find time for…

  • August 2022 Update – Necromunda, Bazistan and Awbari

    We’re into September now. As reported last time, house buying is still underway – a technical glitch by one of the parties has slowed it but we’re working with what we have to keep it going. Because of that, I’m still continuing to start packing things up, slowly collapsing into boxes. I’m reluctant to really…

  • July 2022 Update โ€“ Counter-Intel, Remote Gaming and Dark Elves

    It’s the end of a new month and we’re now entering August. In the real world I’m in the stages of buying a house, having entered the stage of “Solicitors send letters to decide on legal things” which means there is a lot of hurry up and wait. I’ve already started packing some things away…

  • February 2022 Update

    Another month gone, the shortest of them all for 2022. This month was definitely a bit on the slow side – I spent a lot of it struggling to actually sleep at night and so the hobby time turned into the “oh god I need to nap or else I’ll go mad” time. However, I…

  • January 2022 Update

    New year, new update format! Rather than looking at projects, I’m instead going to take a look at the various aspects of the hobby, giving a much wider view over it all. But as an intro, I’m feeling pretty happy with January. I may didn’t paint as much as I wanted but there was some…

  • 2022 in Planning

    Earlier this week, I ran through what I got up to in 2021, which honestly having gone back through it all I’m pretty happy with. 2021 saw me work on a variety of genres Looking ahead, what are my plans for 2022? Well…. Project 365 First up, my plan to paint 365 models in a…

  • 2021 in Review

    2021 is over. It was definitely a hard year for most people, with me finding myself especially struggling by the end with life and work. However, through all of it there was a lot of good! I managed to get a chunk of things done, including a lot of the social side of the hobby…

  • November 2021 Project Update

    Remember when I said October was busy? November was even busier. Between family stuff, Necromunda campaign wrapping up and starting a Patreon, my actual painting time was pretty limited. But at the same time the “hobby” time was pretty productive, with a fair number of blog posts and scenarios produced. Project 365 Lets take a…

  • October 2021 Project Update

    October was a busy month between work and playing in a Necromunda campaign (and the return of Escape from Tarkov to steal my late night gaming time) which left barely any time or motivation for painting. But on the plus side, I did only buy a few tiny extra pieces… Project 365 Lets take a…

  • September 2021 Project Update

    Well a little later than usual. So going to say – September felt like a hard month. Generally low on energy and focus across all things, so naturally the painting suffered a touch. But at the same time, managed to get some game time in which is always a plus. On the other hand, I’m…

  • August 2021 Project Update

    August is gone. Not the most summery of months for me, I ended up getting my second jab and falling ill on week off (not related, was just run down from work). On the other hand, I got a ton of stuff done hobby wise – painting, printing and writing. So overall, pretty good! Also…

  • July 2021 Project Update

    July, another hard month on the old brain but still slowly working through it. At least the heat wave is over. That said, productive month for painting. Also managed to do a little bit of a tidy up, part 1 of fixing up my workspace. The room I work in is mostly done, but I…
