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…
Weekly Waffle #351 – Fly away
Weekly Waffle #351 – Fly away 19th October 2024 I mentioned last week that I had a lot of travelling about for work this week so my hobby time was going to be limited. Living in the UK means that normally we can drive or get on a train, assuming they are running, and get just about anywhere in a few hours. Unlike our cousins across the pond who have to fly for a short trip, such is the scale of the country. But what has this got to do with me I can hear you say. Well this week I have had to fly for work. Not the first…
Weekly Waffle #350 – Emperork
Weekly Waffle #350 – Emperork 12th October 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve worked hard to try and get over the mojo block and get something finished for you this week. In particular I have been really struggling with a large cloak. But to try and get round this I decided that I didn’t need to have it perfect, after all I’m not painting this for a competition. But I did need to get it finished so I focused on good enough as opposed to this has to be perfect. After all non of my painting is perfect so as long as I was going to be happy to…
Weekly Waffle #349 – Jackanory
Weekly Waffle #349 – Jackanory 5th October 2024 This has been something of a weird week for me on the hobby front. Which is where the title for the blog has come from. Work has continued to be really busy so I set out to make the most of what little hobby time I had. I came out of the blocks flying with the mojo levels running in full and everything I was trying on the painting front seemed to be working. This made me a bit greedy and I had a couple of projects on the go at the same time. All was going well until all of sudden…
Weekly Waffle #348 – Return from the eternal city.
Weekly Waffle #348 – Return from the eternal city. 28th September 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I thought I would start with an update on where I have been for the last few weeks. This was a planned break for what I consider to be a holiday of a lifetime. Not because of some exotic location or extravagant expense. No this was a holiday of a lifetime because it also goes by the name of a ‘honeymoon’. That’s right folks I’ve gone and got married. (Picture here) I’d said a few weeks ago that hobby time was limited due to work and personal commitments and this was the personal…
This could all go Pete Tong
This could all go Pete Tong I know I said last weekends weekly Waffle was going to be my last update for a few weeks but I’ve got this short update. It may all come to nothing but I am in the process of moving my domain name registration from my old provider to my current hosting provider. Everything has appeared to go smoothly so fare but I am currently in a bit of a no man’s land with it. Both the new and old providers have this window of up to seven days for the transfer to take place. But the current registration ends on the 9th. So there…
Weekly Waffle #347 – Little Flash Dance
Weekly Waffle #347 – Little Flash Dance 31st August 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle I have tried to get some of the admin side of the post done early and I’ve made better use of my commute so that I wasn’t at the last minute this morning. I’d like to think that I’ve done a reasonable job with no last minute updates or changes needed. So time management one oh one for this week got off to a good start. I’ve also spent some time on the commute reading and looking at the pictures of an AK interactive weathering book. I’m conscious that my attempts at weathering at the…
