I’ve actually remembered to do an update this week. I think like a lot of people the days are just merging into one for me at the moment and I just completely lost track of the week when it came to last week’s update. Not that I’ve actually managed to do a lot of anything, even though I have more time. Weird how these things seem to work out. I’m saving a couple of hours a day by not having to commute for work, but I’m then actually putting a lot more hours because I’m working from home and it’s really easy to just keep working away. Finding that discipline…

No game night this week seeing as how Al has the lurgy and him being one of Pappa Nurgl’s special one’s no one wants to go near him. So this has given me an extra night to work on finishing off the Grot Bots before I head off across the pond next week. The main thing that I needed to get completed was to get the heads built and I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly this seemed to go. Like everything else on this project it’s been a fiddly job but as I’ve not really made any changes to the design it was just a case of cracking on with…

No game night this week so that has given me an extra few hours to really try and focus on progressing with the Grot Bots, which has become something of an all-consuming thing at the moment. Although I have also spent some time working on updating the back end of the site so in theory it should be a little bit more stable going forward. Nothing major because I don’t really know what I’m doing so just trying to do enough to keep things ticking over. Now that I’m getting down to the crunch end of the build as anything that isn’t finished next week just isn’t going to get…

Things have been starting to get real this week with me only having three more updates before I head off across the pond for Adepticon. That’s mainly because I’m having some time in Chicago before making the short trip up to Schaumburg for the event. But when it comes to getting things done ahead of time that jolly effectively robs me of a week of scratch build joy. Although to be fair I would rather be having a week in Chicago than sitting at my desk in a damp grey cotton town in the north west of England. But I do still have a few weeks to wait and I’ve…

No gaming for me this week as it was mum’s birthday on Tuesday which is normally game night, and we went out for a family mean instead. Which was a really nice night so not a bad thing to doing in place of a bit of gaming. That was on the back of having a very loved up weekend where I did no gaming and no hobby but did have a really nice time. Considering the bad weather, we had here in the North West of England it was actually really nice to stay indoors, with a nice drink or two and lots of box sets to watch. A good…

I’ve spent most of this week feeling sorry for myself as I’ve got a cold, with the corresponding runny nose which is just really annoying. Now with that one line of a moan out of the way I want to really start this week of a bit of plug. I’ve mentioned over the last few weeks the club has a YouTube channel by the name of Red Rose Wargaming and that Al and Anna have been driving this content mainly with WarCry battle reports. This week they have done a number of updates covering off some of the new war band cards that came out last Saturday. Al has been…

The best laid plans of mice and men springs to mind to open this week’s waffle. My intention for the week was to make a start on the Grot Bots and also to work out if I had enough material to actually build them all and if not get it ordered. I knew I shouldn’t need anything to fancy, just plastic tubing and box section of the right size to make the job that bit easier. Well that was the plan but reality has been very different this week. I’ve had quite a bit of travel to do for work so I missed game night again this week which was…

Now it’s been a while since my last weekly waffle update and as I mentioned before it’s really been down to me trying to find the balance between a new relationship and the hobby. I’ve not got the fully worked out yet but I wanted to start the year with an update as I have started to get the balance which means I do have some finished models to share with you today. I also want to share a few things form last year as well as having a bit of look a the year ahead. Nothing as brash as laying out any resolutions but there are a few things…

Now then it’s been a few weeks since my last update but unlike following previous gaps in service I’m not going to apologise for this one. It’s been down to the fact that I’m in new relationship and I’ve been putting my time into that and not the hobby. And that doesn’t read very well at all, but essentially I’m in a really happy place at the moment and the hobby has taken a bit of back seat whilst I got here. But now that we have got over that giddy start and things are settling down I’m starting to fit the hobby back in. It may not get back…
