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

This week has been another where I’ve managed to get in reasonable amount of hobby time and I’ve been enjoying it while the mojo is still in full flow. I’ll get to what I’ve actually been working on a bit later in the post but I’m going to start with an idea that has been bouncing around inside my head and I think it could make an interesting project. Ever since I painted Silencer Bane I’ve been thinking about that near future look that the mini has and I went off on something of a tangent thinking about how something like that would come about. The technology itself isn’t that…
Weekly Waffle #281
Another week and the ball is still rolling in the right direction, the mojo is still there and I’m enjoying my hobby time. Granted I’m not churning out a mass of miniatures but I’m enjoying doing something a little bit different and I’m really happy with what I’m producing. I think the key for me at the moment is that I’m content when things don’t turn our quite how I would like them to. By that I mean that in each of the Nuts Planet minis I’ve finished to date there are things with each of them that I know could be better. But rather than fixating on them and…
Weekly Waffle #280
The January mojo is still flowing and I’ve had a good week of hobby. Not put a massive amount of time in but I think I’ve made good use of the time I’ve had. This won’t work for everyone but what I’ve been doing is when the misses wants to watch one of her programs on TV I say I’ll get out of her way and go and do some hobby. Which means that I’m giving myself lots of mini deadlines and being very focused and I’m getting things done. Not very quickly but I’m getting them done which I’m enjoying because I can see some progress with each session.…

I’m being a good hobbyist this week and I’m bringing you my first finished project of the year. Yes, that’s right I’ve actually started and finished a project without being side tracked by something new and shiny. I know it’s only the project of the year and the odds of keeping this up all year are next to zero, but I’m going to take all the wins I can get this year and be proud of them. Now then do I think that everything is perfect with the mini and there is no room for improvement. Absolutely not. There are lots of bits that I think I could have done…
Weekly Waffle #278
Following on from what I know was a bit a lazy update last week I’ve actually got a new project on the go for you this week. It was nice to do a bit of retrospective for the first update of the year and to be honest it also allowed me to get a lot of the work done up front and not worry about what I was going publish. I know that I wanted to try and break the bad habits I’d dropped into over the last six months or so. It’s one of those things were if you miss one week then missing the week after is a…
