Weekly Waffle #302
Weekly Waffle #302 15th October 2022 This week in the painting world I’ve been carrying on with what I am now realising is something of an obsession with Carevale. What started out as picking up a starter box has morphed into three boxes and I think four blisters. But what we have here represents everything I have at the moment. I’ve been sticking with the same approach of using my new found slap chop method to get them table top ready. What I’ve tried to do this week though is to get some more pictures at different stages of the process. Starting off with getting them primed and dry brushed…
Weekly Waffle #301
Weekly Waffle #301 8th October 2022 Welcome back and the first thing I’m going to say about this weeks waffle is that it is dedicated to Slap Chop. I talked about coming across this technique last week and shared some pictures of the Rialto Assassin I had used it on and was waxing lyrical about how quickly, for me, I was able to paint it. The only fly in the ointment was that I couldn’t find the bases I had already painted up. Now if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you will know that I managed to find the bases and have shared some completed pictures. But if…
Weekly Waffle #300
Weekly Waffle #300 1st October 2022 I’ve not had a massive amount of hobby time this week but I have been doing quite a bit of travel and that has given me some time to reflect on what has happened in my hobby life since I started doing the blog. Now before you panic and run a mile I’m not going to be all doom and gloom just a look back over the past seven years, yes seven years in which a lot has changed. So if I was to rate my enthusiasm and ability in the hobby now compared to where it was when I started I would have…

Weekly Waffle #299 24th September 2022 I’m going to kick things off this week with a full on homage to the Waffle. I was watching Saturday Kitchen last week and they had Ricard Osmond on as the guest. He was talking about how he has stopped doing a lot of his presenting work to focus on his writing. One of the things he was saying to the Otho on the show was that if you were to dedicate an hour a day to writing then after a year you would be a writer. You may not be successful but you would be a writer. This approach obviously applies to anything…
Weekly Waffle #298
This will be three hundredth edition of the waffle so need to big it up a bit. Highlight some of the highs and lows over the years.
Weekly Waffle #297
Weekly Waffle #297 3rd September 2022 I know I said last week that I may not have an update every week but week two of the return does bring a new update. But just to manage expectations I really don’t think I will have an update next week because I’m away next week for a short break. Having said the I’ve not got a great deal done this week but I have got some hobby time in and I’ve been working on some Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii Vanguard. These have been built up just as standard minis unlike the Rangers where I used the bodies from the ash waste nomads. The…

Weekly Waffle #295 30th April 2022 This week I’ve mixed things up a bit with Hagal sitting on the desk and taking a bit of back seat, or really taking no part at all in this week’s activities. I’ve still got a cough that I can’t seem to shake at the moment but I’m not actually feeling to bad with it, it’s just really annoying. So to keep things positive I’ve switched things up and started work on the Warchanter Choir that I picked up from Artel Miniatures before my trip to the States. These are to go along with my fledgling Iyhanen force. I’ve touched on this before but…
Weekly Waffle #294
Weekly Waffle #294 23rd April 2022 It was Easter weekend last week and for those of us in the UK that meant a four day weekend. I would like to say that it was spend being really productive and getting in loads of hobby time, but the reality was that both me and the misses were full of a cold again and spent most of the time in the house feeling sorry for ourselves. I was feeling that bad that I even managed to burn a pizza I had mad on Saturday. All in all it was just one of those weeks where nothing seemed to go as you would…
Weekly Waffle #293
9th April 2022 Well once again I have missed a couple of updates but I’m putting them both down to Adepticon. The first was the Saturday of Adepticon and I had been doing daily updates so I don’t feel to bad about that one. Last weeks was missing because I came back with the conference lurgy and just didn’t have the energy to do an update. I’m still not that well this week but I’m not missing another update so I’m going to fight my way through and give you an update this week. I haven’t really done much in the way of hobby since I’v e been back, because…
