Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective
Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective 4th January 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I’m starting by having a bit of a look back on last year. Then I’ll lay out what I have planned for the rest of the year. I’m going to start by summing up last year as a hobby success. Now I will clarify that a little bit by saying that I’m not defining that success on quantity or quality. But rather on consistency. I managed to bring you a newly painted mini for every update. That doesn’t quite mean every week because I had a few trips where I deliberately didn’t do a post on the…
Weekly Waffle #360 – The art of stealth
Weekly Waffle #360 – The art of stealth 21st December 2024 This week has seen the end of the evaluation phase of the project at work so I’m hoping to get a little bit of time back so that I can do a little bit more hobby. So this week’s weekly waffle has managed to keep the run going of having a new mini fully painted to show you, and yes it is an Infinity miniatures. I do tend to through myself into something and then run with it for a while until jumping over to something else. I’m hoping to stick with a combination of infinity and ork’s for…
Weekly Waffle #359 – The Last Invincible
Weekly Waffle #359 – The Last Invincible 14th December 2024 This week’s Weekly Waffle is once again a little light on the hobby front because I’ve been really busy with work. The work front is due to calm down a little bit next week. But then I’m expecting to be tasked with Christmas related jobs so I may still have limited hobby time. But I will be working to bring you something new. For this week’s hobby I’ve really just been trying to finish of the last of my Infinity test pieces in the form of an Invincible. Although it think I called them Immortals last week. But regardless of…
Weekly Waffle #358 – Not really invincible
Weekly Waffle #358 – Not really invincible 7th December 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I have a bit more of a waffle than a hobby update. Don’t worry there is some hobby it’s just that there is more waffle. I’ve been off work this week but had much hobby time. We have been out on day trips and shopping trips trying to get organised early for Christmas. Last year was carnage and we didn’t get much chance to relax. So this year I’ve insisted we get things done early so we can have a more relaxed time. The only downside has been that none of the shopping has involved…
Weekly Waffle #357 – She’s Invincible
Weekly Waffle #357 – She’s Invincible 30th November 2024 This week’s Weekly Waffle has mainly been trying to fit the time in to get any hobby work completed. We have really busy time at work between now and Christmas with some really tight deadlines. I’ve known it was coming so it’s not a shock or anything but it has been a real challenge to try and get any hobby time in. But I’m pleased to say have managed to get something completed this week and I’m really happy with it. I think it does show that if you really want to do something you can usually find a way to…
Weekly Waffle #356 – He’s Invincible
Weekly Waffle #356 – He’s Invincible 23rd November 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I have something a little bit different for you. No grots and no orks this week. I know that’s me straying far from my normal mark of late, but sometimes a change is as good as rest. Although I do have to say the main reason is a lack of self control. Once I get something new and shiny I just can’t resist having a play with it. So the Infinity miniatures that arrived last week found their way onto my work bench, well it’s a desk, and it was only one miniature. I had fully…
Weekly Waffle #355 – Big Boss Go Bot
Weekly Waffle #355 – Big Boss Go Bot 16th November 2024 And so it begins. I’ve had numerous reminders this week that it’s only six weeks until Christmas and we have a million things to do before then, or the world will end. So for this week’s weekly waffle I’m trying to inject a little bit of sanity into my weekend. Don’t get me wrong I know the jobs will have to be done and there is no hiding from it, but I’m going to hide for a little bit. Hopefully I will be able to distract you all with little bit of hobby trivia. So this week my test…
Weekly Waffle #354 – Ultimate Bad Ass Boyz
Weekly Waffle #354 – Ultimate Bad Ass Boyz 9th November 2024 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I have a few more painted minis for you but I also have a waffle about gaming options. And that is what I’m going to start with. Tuesday night is when our game club meets up and it’s fair to say some of our group have a less than healthy relationship with Kick Starter. The number of new games we have dabbled with is astronomical. But very few have ever found their way into regular game play. On Tuesday a couple of people were talking about trying to get people interested in playing something…
Weekly Waffle #353 – Bad Ass #1
Weekly Waffle #353 – Bad Ass # 2nd November 2024 The first thing that I just have to bring up on this week’s weekly waffle is how it already November. Some weeks have really dragged this year but it really doesn’t feel like ten whole months have passed. I do feel like I have done a lot this year but this is just not right. Anyway that shock to system out of the way this week really has flown by. But for all the wrong reasons from a hobby point of view. It’s getting to really crunch time at work for the project I’m working on and that has an…
Weekly Waffle #352 – Mega Busta
Weekly Waffle #352 – Mega Busta 26th October 2024 Not quite as much travel this week although I did have the joy of it taking Northern Rail, also referred to as Northern Fail, five hours to travel sixty miles on Tuesday. It was just a see of cancelled trains and then the ones that were running were stopping every couple of minutes. The upside was that I managed to finish my latest book and do quite a bit of this update. I’ve still not got used to how long it takes me to write these updates each week. I know they aren’t war and peace but it sometimes feels like…
