Weekly Waffle #307
Weekly Waffle #307 14th January 2023 As promised I’m back for another week, although considering it is only the second week of the year so it’s not that much of an achievement. I’ve spent quite a bit of time away from home this week so haven’t had a lot of hobby time but I’ve tried to put my time to good use. With the Alliance fleet progressing at a steady pace I’ve been thinking about how to go about painting the Hunt for Prometheus box set which has been sitting I’m my pile of shame for some time. For the Enhanced I’m thinking of going with a pale blue for…
Dystopian Wars – Republique of France – Painting Guide
This has been the project that has caused me the most consternation ever. I have liked the Dystopian Wars models for the Republique of France since I first saw them; in fact I think they are some of the best models in the entire game. So it should be a no brainer to pick some up and get painting. The problem is that being ex Royal Navy I haven’t been able to bring myself to paint a French fleet. I know it’s silly but there you go. Anyway I kept going back and looking at the models but I didn’t have a paint scheme in mind until now. I wanted…

This weeks weekly waffle #Site Title #Post Title #Site Title #Post Title #Site Title #Post Title has been the first ‘normal’ week I’ve had a long time. Or at least as normal gets for me. Tuesday so the return of game night and me and Pete squared off across the ocean in a game of Dystopian Wars Fleet Action. This was a chance for me to give the French a run out now that they are all painted and ready to go. It also made a change for Pete as he didn’t have to face my Russian Gunships and he really likes Russian Gunships. To be fair it was something…
Weekly Waffle #132
This weeks weekly waffle has been marked with a mix of hobby success and monumental epic failure. I’ll star with the positive and leave you in suspense for the failure, which I hope means you’ll read all the way to the end. Now I’m working really hard to separate the two as rationally I know there is no connection but deep down there is that that little voice saying you know why this happened and it’s all your own fault, you just had get the French fleet. But I’m not listening to that voice and I’m going to expand my French fleet so there. So the success was the completion…
Weekly Waffle #131
For a change this week’s weekly waffle I feel like I’ve had a really productive hobby week. I missed out a bit last Sunday because Al and Pete kidnapped me and forced me to go to the put with them so Sunday turned into a very lazy day. To make up for that I took my French fleet away with me with the intention of getting as much of the basing done as possible. It’s quite surprising what you can get done in a hotel room with just a few key bits of kit. In this case it was some paint to give the base colour for the water and…
Weekly Waffle #130
It’s been a bit of mixed up week this week for the weekly waffle and I’ve put the white dwarf to one side and instead gone down a dystopian route. To be precise I’ve gone down a French dystopian route with my French fleet arriving. Now I’ve found that it’s not easy to get any painting done in a hotel room cleaning and building up models is another thing altogether. That meant that I manged to get everything prepped and ready for painting whilst I was away. Then with two nights at home I’ve had a bit of time to get the airbrush out to make a really good start…
