FoW Painting (7th Apr 2012)
I picked up some 15mm Battlefront Panzergrenadiers about a year ago on Bartertown. I got them cheap, cleaned them up, primed them white and then shelved them in favor of other things as I am wont to do sometimes. I’m trying to get back into the sw ... Read More
A Fresh Start (29th Mar 2012)

Changing Things Up (31st May 2011)
The one constant in life is change, and as such my hobby projects have changed a bit over the last month or so. I’m currently working on some 28MM projects and am enjoying the process of relearning how to properly paint the larger figures again. ... Read More

Plans for 2011 (27th Jan 2011)
It’s been way too long since I’ve posted something here. Family life and work have been very busy this winter and it doesn’t show many signs of letting up. Looking to this year I can see two main projects for me. I’m continuing ... Read More
An ACW Game (27th Sep 2010)
After a lost summer from a gaming perspective, we finally managed to get most of our group together last Friday evening for a quick game. Considering the length of time it takes for your average Legacy of Glory game, we decided to try something diffe ... Read More
Making Forests (9th Sep 2010)
After a lost summer (from a gaming perspective), I finally have motivated myself to do some hobby-related stuff again. We have an ACW game scheduled for the end of the month and I decided we needed woods… and lots of them. Around the same time ... Read More
Starting Over (2nd May 2010)

God’s Own Scale – 20mm (9th Apr 2010)
Just a quick post to comment on some 20mm WWII BEF infantry I’m working on as a change of pace from the Napoleonics. On the Guild they call 20mm “God’s own scale” or something similar and after painting some of the figures I can ... Read More
Some AB Russians (7th Apr 2010)
I was messing around with our camera last night and got a few ‘passable’ photos of my latest work. There are 6 new pictures on my Photobucket account. The photos look shiny because I haven’t finished the bases so there’s only ... Read More
Weekend Painting Blitz (22nd Mar 2010)

A short WIP update (10th Mar 2010)
Not much new to report. The taxman was not good to us this year so my hobby budget has been limited for a while. That’s OK because I’ve got a good number of AB Russians still waiting to get painted. Speaking of which my jagers and generic ... Read More
