Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective
Weekly Waffle #361 – Retrospective 4th January 2025 For this week’s Weekly Waffle I’m starting by having a bit of a look back on last year. Then I’ll lay out what I have planned for the rest of the year. I’m going to start by summing up last year as a hobby success. Now I will clarify that a little bit by saying that I’m not defining that success on quantity or quality. But rather on consistency. I managed to bring you a newly painted mini for every update. That doesn’t quite mean every week because I had a few trips where I deliberately didn’t do a post on the…

Weekly Waffle #327 – The Captive Unleashed
Weekly Waffle #327 – The Captive Unleashed 6th April 2024 This week’s Weekly Waffle feels a bit of a come down after the last couple of weeks. As I mentioned last week I’ve come back with lots of new projects and I’m hoping some new skills. So it’s time to start making some use of those skills. I’ve not started any of my new purchases yet because I wanted to carry on working through some of my existing backlog that I had planned before going to Addepticon. But don’t worry the new stuff won’t stay on the shelf for long I just need to clear away a couple of these…

Weekly Waffle #320 – No one expects the Inquisition
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 #294
Weekly Waffle #294 23rd April 2022 It was Easter weekend last week and for those of us in the UK that meant a four day weekend. I would like to say that it was spend being really productive and getting in loads of hobby time, but the reality was that both me and the misses were full of a cold again and spent most of the time in the house feeling sorry for ourselves. I was feeling that bad that I even managed to burn a pizza I had mad on Saturday. All in all it was just one of those weeks where nothing seemed to go as you would…
Fair well Adepticon
Well this is technically the last of the live updates from this years Adepticon whilst I’m in the UA of A. We are now at the airport with checking and security behind us. I’ll do a proper round up in with weeks waffle but all in all it’s been a good a trip. The next bit is the bit I really hate because it’s a long old trip home with nothing exciting when you get their. If you don’t count jet lag and a weeks worth of washing. Anyway they are now boarding the plane so I’ll upload this whilst I still have a good Wi-Fi connection. Last very brief…
