BLOG STUFF<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This week’s post was looking at the various Spectre models which are now classed as rare<\/a>. It’s odd that such a small company has so many OOP models in the time it’s taken but they have been busy both making new stuff and upgrading the old to match changing standards.<\/p>\n

This post also saw the site break it’s most popular day, hitting 473 views on Friday. I’m a little disheartened that the post that does the best in one day is one I did in an evening rather than one of my more involved pieces but I’m still glad people are reading it and enjoying it.<\/p>\n

I’m also looking at Bazistan and doing some tweaks to it. Might be opening up a new front soon across the water in Africa thanks to some new purchases. As part of this, I’ll be replacing some of the references to Eritrea – don’t worry though, the core ideas will be kept intact.<\/p>\n

GAMING<\/h3>\n

Nothing – still too busy with work and writing.<\/p>\n

PURCHASES<\/h3>\n

So Spectre had their Black Friday sale and as part of it restocked a lot of their figures. Taking advantage of this, I finally got round to ordering the last few figures I didn’t own – the African Militia and Rebels. Really excited to get these painted up as it’s a chance to expand the scenarios I do. It’s also means that I now own all the figures (i.e. not terrain\/vehicles\/crew figures) that Spectre have on the store. Of course they do all need painting…<\/p>\n

HOBBY<\/h3>\n

Again not much – busy with work so what little hobby time I had has been spent writing. However, I’ve done the base colours on most of the new SAS figures – now I just have to work on the camo.<\/p>\n
