    Adepticon Update #2

    21 March 2024 /

    Adepticon Update #2 Ok then so this one is only going to b e a short update because it’s only covering arriving at the venue and spending a lot of time in queues of one form or another. The thing I like the least about the whole Adepticon experience is the queueing to get your ticket. It has to be done so for me it is better to get it out of the way as soon as possible. Which meant on Wednesday evening before the games workshop preview event. It took about an hour and half all told to work our way through the queue and pick up our badge,…

    Weekly Waffle #324 – Is it me or is it cold

    9 March 2024 /

    Weekly Waffle #324 – Is it me or is it cold 9th March 2024 In this week’s weekly waffle my planning head has ruling the roost and I have been making sure I have everything I need for Adepticon. I do a lot of project work for a living, and I love a list. So, I’ve had a long list of things that I need to make sure I have for our trip. This cover everything from clothing to toiletries to hobby supplies. What will be going in my checked luggage will be in my carry-on bag. I know for a lot of people this would really boring, or they…

    Weekly Waffle #322 – Silencer Bane

    24 February 2024 /

    Weekly Waffle #322 24th February 2024 For this week’s weekly waffle, I have decided to switch away from the purely fun stuff and try something a little bit different for me. I’m badging this as part of my learning experience for this year where I am going to try and push myself out of my comfort zone and try some new techniques. Nothing drastic and I’m going to do this gradually so that I don’t taint my mojo for simply enjoying painting. What I really want to do is to start to develop techniques to go into the toolbox that I can then call upon as when they are needed.…

    Weekly Waffle #320 – No one expects the Inquisition

    10 February 2024 /

    Weekly Waffle #320 10th February 2024 I’m back with another weekly waffle again this week after my planned break last weekend. And what a weekend it was. I know it’s not hobby related but this is also a waffle so I think a quick update is fitting. After all life should have a bit of variety if you can get it. What a fantastic weekend it was. I have never been to Rome before and taking in a six nations game at the same time has just been the icing on the cake. It has been an absolutely full on three days with a visit to the Vatican museum first…

    Weekly Waffle #319 – Are you felling lucky

    27 January 2024 /

    Weekly Waffle #319 27th January 2024 I will stop counting soon but this is weekly waffle number four for this year which I am quietly happy with. This has been the first week though that has been a little bit of a struggle. As well as looking for new projects I have been trying to finish off projects that have just been sitting on a shelf. One of these is Kal Jericho and Scabbs. I have been a fan of Kal Jericho for a long time and even have the original model in its bluster. Which was something of a steal on eBay but that’s a different story. Going back…
