Weekly Waffle

The heart of TerminatorTids. A recurring series of hobby updates, "what's on the desk" showcases, and honest reflections on the week's progress in the wargaming world.

    Not much of an update for you this weeks weekly waffle, not that I’ve lost my mojo or anything like that. I’ve just had a lot going on and even in these times of lockdown, I’ve just not had the time to really get anything done. Work on the Trukk cab has virtually ground to a halt as all I’ve done is make a couple of window frames for the windscreen. No details or bars on them yet, in fact I haven’t even actually fitted them to the rest of the cab so no pictures there for you. But I have managed to get a little bit of hobby time…

    I’m little bit on the late side for this weeks update. I think like everyone else my schedule is all over the place at the moment and I just forget to get everything together in time for the normal ten o’clock update. But I’ve got there in the end and I hope it was worth the wait. For anyone following on Twitter then you will know I’ve been working on the paint job for the Trukk this week and I’m really happy with myself for actually getting it finished in a week. I think this may be the be the first start to finish project I’ve completed this year, and…

    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…

    Another weird week in the world and a very mixed up one on the hobby front. I missed last weeks update not because I hadn’t been doing anything but because I had been trying something new. I then nearly missed this week through a combination of being caught up with a new project and then Microsoft deciding that it wanted to do what felt like a million updates just as I’m trying to get something typed up and on line for you this week. It is going to be a reasonably short update this week but rest assured I have been working on thing, it’s just that I don’t think…

    I’m really not sure just where to start this week as it’s been something that I’ve never experienced or even considered as being possible. It’s a times like this when having a hobby, no mater what it is could be the only thing that keeps you sane. In my case it is certainly helping. I was expecting to be bringing you an update from Adepticon today but instead of having spent the week exploring Chicago and then having some great times with a group of like minded gamers, I’ve found myself at home on my own seeing no one. Here in the UK, like lots of places around the world,…

    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…
