Surprise, I’ve been writing for other people again. A friend of mine, Bill, is the editor for Airsoft Action and a keen wargamer. In the latest issue, he wrote up a piece on Black Powder Red Earth 28mm, extolling the virtues to the 6mm Soldiers crowd (no, not the tiny scale). He also asked if…

I am a keen fan of the CVR(T) family of vehicles, tiny armoured fighting vehicles which the British have been using since the 1970s and are still (with some tweaks and upgrades) in service with the British Army today. Maybe its from having a diecast one as a toy as a child or maybe the…

One downside of not really going to wargames clubs anymore is that I can no longer rely on their vast collections of terrain. I’ve slowly been building up my own stockpile of things in addition to the literal pile of buildings I have, adding some lichen, scatter and trees to the boxes to add to…

Thanks to the Dastardly Regular Opponent, I got a Rubicon M5A1 kit. Seeing as my Churchill Tank platoon may need some recce boys to watch up ahead, I immediately jumped in to getting it built up! As you might expect from Rubicon, it’s a pretty fantastic kit. That company has nailed down how to make…

Yesterday was Vapa in York, the first one since 2020. It was good to see the show return – it’s one of the first of the year and among my favourites, a place to catch-up and see people or find out the new release gossip. This year it seemed to be running at 75%, with…

Well I finallly did it – I finally a printed the Typhoon MRAP. This is was on of the vehicles on my wishlist when I was looking at the bigger printer, inspired mostly by my trips to Tarkov. But with the real vehicle being 9m long, it was way too big to print on the…

In preparation for tomorrow’s Big CoC game, I needed to get my Churchill tanks painted up and ready. As my British Infantry are designed for late World War 2 mud snow and horrible times, so must my tanks match the colour scheme. I originally had planned to just do them in green and then add…

The second half of the latest set of Bazi SF is done. These were the last three models I painted in 2021 (with the final wash being done moments before the clock struck midnight). I really enjoyed painting thse guys and I’ve very happy with how they have turned out. Expect a full post on…

Merry Christmas! Remember how last week I posted up some new stuff and said the cursed words “I’ll finish the rest tomorrow”? Yeah no dice – in my first week of time off I managed to fall out of a sleep pattern, have a nasty reaction to the COVID Booster jab (sweats, shivers and aching…
