Weekly Waffle #140
I’ve mixed things up again for this weeks weekly waffle by shifting back to Dystopian Wars, although I still haven’t managed to the game with Pete finished. I know I’m just delaying the inevitable but I’ve been full a cold this week and feeling sorry for myself so I’ve not ventured out of the house, other than having to go to work. Spent my evening nursing a cup of tea and waiting for my head to explode. But whilst I haven’t got any gaming done I have made some progress with my Empire of the Rising Sun Fleet. The carrier is nearly complete, just some of the details left to…
Weekly Waffle #138
This has been something of a bitter sweet weekly waffle. Once again I’ve not had to do much in the way of travel so I’ve managed to get some gaming in, I’ve managed to get some hobby in and I’ve managed to catch up on Game of Thrones. So that all falls under the Sweet but then the bitter is linked to a kick starter but I’ll come back to that later. First of all me and Pete managed to carry on with our game this week and my efforts in the intervening week to figure out how to make use of the French didn’t really pay off. We probably…
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…
Weekly Waffle #125
So I’ve been back on the road again this week and haven’t really had a lot of time to get anything done for the weekly waffle and once again no gaming. With it being a bank holiday last weekend I was hoping to get some hobby time in but I spent most of t it tidying up the garden and trying to get my car to work. The first I did a really good job of and the second I failed miserably. It’s had an ongoing electrical problem that I thought was the battery draining due to lack of use but even after a full charge it still won’t start…
Weekly Waffle #124
This week’s weekly waffle hasn’t been quite as mad as the last few but I’ve still not managed to get any gaming in. But what I have done is to dig out an old project and make some good progress with it. Inspired by painting up and basing my Russian battle ship I’ve kept things in the world of Dystopian wars and I’ve gone east. I picked up an Ottoman Empire box set a couple of years ago and worked out how I wanted to paint them but never got passed the first test piece. Mainly because I came up with an unbelievably fiddly process but having done one I…
Weekly Waffle #123
Well it’s been a really bad week this week for hobby this weeks weekly waffle. I’ve had family over from France so I’ve been playing nice and spending time with them, which in fairness has been nice and then away again all week. So the only thing I’ve really managed to get done this week is to green stuff some base inserts. I need these for the fishermen I’ve been working on and for a couple of other things that I’ve done but not got round to basing. But in keep with how manic things have been I’ve not even had time to take any pictures, not that green stuff…
