Site Layout & Function
A bit of an admin update to let you know that I am going to be playing around with some changes to the layout of the site this week. The site itself is built on WordPress and the ‘theme’ I have been using seems to be giving me some grief when it comes to adding images. Sometimes things work and then on something that I think is set up the same it doesn’t. So not being a coder of any sort my solution is going to be to play around with a few new themes until I find something that works. So if you notice any weirdness over the next…
Weekly Waffle #2
Well I’ve made it to the second weekly waffle and still have lots of enthusiasm so I’m hoping that’s a good sign for the future. With only so much hobby time in the week a lot of it this week has gone on the site, with not a lot to see from the outside. But I have been busy with the back end. There are still a lot of things to sort out but I’m slowly getting there. I’ve also spent a bit of time taking pictures of miniatures so that once I get things working I will have some content to add. On the hobby front I have managed…
Knight Models – Deathstroke
So this will be the first of the painting guide to have supporting pictures to go along with Deathstroke form knight models. I tried to capture as many steps as possible but I think there may be a few missing. But it’s a start and with a bit of luck I’ll get better as I go along.
Dystopian Wars Russian Coalition
Having got the bug for Dystopian Wars again after working out a colour scheme for my Ottoman Fleet, I have been looking for a ‘major faction’ fleet for my next project. I really like the Empire of the Rising Sun but as Pete already has these I thought I would look at the Russian Coalition. Without knowing all the fluff that goes with them I thought that if I went with a Black Sea fleet this would tie in with my Ottoman fleet. They may not be allies but they would be operating in the same area. After looking at several options I decided to go with the classic white…
MERCS Kemvar
Having finished the CCC Yellow Jackets and used them in a game I decided I really like MERCS and wanted to expand my collection a bit. Of the other factions I like, MERCS Kemvar were at the top of the list so I decided to give them a go. They use a pale colour scheme for their armour so again it would be style I don’t normally do but would offer me a nice challenge.
MERCS CCC Yellow Jackets
I’ve had these MERCS models for quite some time now and have been really struggling to get the yellow to look ok. On several occasion I had considered going with a completely different colour scheme but yellow is something of a nemesis so wanted to try and get it right. After quite a bit of trial and error and a few baths in Nitromors to clean things up I have managed to get something that I feel happy with.

Weekly Waffle #1
Weekly Gaming Update
What to expect in 2015
Ok then, I’ve had the site set up for a few months now but I’ve not actually done anything with it, despite the fact that I’ve been doing quite a bit of painting. So I’m going to set myself something of a belated New Year challenge for 2015 to try and do some weekly updates. Nothing to challenging to start with, just a few pictures of what is on my desk, what I’m working on any anything else that takes my fancy. I’m going to call it my ‘Weekly Waffle’ and try and stick to weekly updates, probably at some point over the weekend. As well as these weekly updates…
