How did 2022 go?

Since starting my blog it's allowed me to see what I have painted each year, and it's become a little tradition of mine to get them all out and pop them on a table and take a pic of them at the end of the year. So let's have a look at how 2022 went …

Of to Tournament we go

Well tonight I did the final touches to the models I need for my upcoming Tournament of A Song of Ice and Fire. It's not often I feel a real sense of achievement in my hobby but today I did, as this game I only got demoed to me at the end of June start …

Another end, and another beginning

So as 2021 draws to a close I have again chosen to see what I painted this year and perhaps think about what to do next year. And this is what I finished in 2021, a fair amount of models from a range of game systems and scales, with a range of colour choices as …

It’s a Bigun!

So I don't normally like posting pics of just grey plastic, but after 2 night of clipping, cutting, filing and glueing I think I'll make an exception just this once. This is a Knight Castellan which I got for my birthday, I guess I've been a good boy this year! It is a massive model …

A nice little mountain

So started work on my next elf model, which is a mage, I've adapted my paint scheme for him, keeping the yellows and orange but dropping the green for grey. This is in part as he follows a "different path" the way of the mountain so I thought grey would work. And to my eye …

Almost sharp

So I've finished off the 54mm rifleman sargent that I'm painting for my Dad after his sudden intrest in the hobby. Its been an intresting experience painting this. I like the larger scale, the face was so much nicer to do than on 28mm as was the cloth. But I'm still not a fan of …

Seeing Green

So my 54mm Segeant is starting to come along now. The green of the jacket and trousers are now done, as is the darker brown and the red. Still a lot more to do but its coming alond. I'm enjoying the 54mm scale, I like the detail you can get in the cloth. But not …

What a snail

So I've finished my first Bretonian knight, its only been sat around modeled up and sprayed white for around 14 years or so! This is the model I was painting as I saw 2021 in and I've now finished him off. Now finishing this model ended be different than I had first thought, and I …

Seeing the new year in with Paint Brush in Hand

So this new years eve me and the better half (Tragic Fan Girl) did some painting until the new year, as we were not allowed to go anywhere or see anyone due to local restrictions. But not just and models, we did our joint army of Bretonians for Warhammer, that we bought after our very …

2020 round up

So as the year draws to a close its time to take stock of what I did with my hobby this year. One of the things I really like about blogging is that I now have a record of what I painted in a year, which allows me to get it all out and put …
