After a week where work was stable and fairly busy (so it went by fast), I now have about two weeks off work for a holiday break which is pretty exciting. I’m not traveling to see family which is a bummer but it is the safe thing to do with COVID running wild here in … Continue reading Small Victories and Headaches
This is a very strange week. I would not say it was a very good week in that I had to attend a funeral on Friday (it wasn’t for someone I knew well but it was pretty far away from Chicago so it made for a very tiring day) and things happened at work that … Continue reading The Institute Arrives!
It has been another taxing week, mostly due to work being busy but postal service woes have been an issue too. Not unlike the previous time I complained a few months ago, I have multiple things in the mail that I expected to receive during the week and have not received and now have to … Continue reading Ghoulish Developments and Fallout Terrain Enthusiasm
Once I got the rug painted last week, I threw myself into this terrain piece as I knew that once it was done, I would be ready for the next Fallout scenario, so I was plenty motivated. I was also curious to see how this would come together since it is my first attempt at … Continue reading Fallout Construction Trailer Terrain Complete
I’ve got a little bit of everything to discuss in today’s update so I’ll break things up by subject matter to make it easy to see what you’re going to be reading about. Let’s not waste any further time and get into it! MESBG – As the title suggests, I am working on my first … Continue reading Starting my first MESBG diorama
As I write this, I’ve probably got an hour or two left of painting on the Dark Angel. Instead of showing you a 98% completed miniature, I’m going to show you some Fallout stuff I kept for a “rainy day” like this. A little while ago, I picked up Military Barricades terrain for Fallout. They … Continue reading Fallout Terrain Triumphs and Conundrums
It sounds like the start of an exciting battle report but I have plenty of finished work to show off instead. No more hobby navel gazing from me for a while as well. I appreciate all of the support and advice you all have shared in the last couple months as I’ve been charting a … Continue reading Super Mutants, Survivors, and a Campsite
As promised a while back, I do have some MESBG content to share for the first time in a little while. I realized recently that I only had a couple of ruffians left to paint before I hit the magic number of 12 which is what you need for most Scouring of the Shire scenarios … Continue reading Saruman’s Dirty Dozen
While the model count may be low, I have a pretty action-packed update this week that I’m excited to share. I think it is fair to say that I’m finally figuring out how to paint the Fallout minis to the best of my abilities and each one I finish is becoming more rewarding. I am … Continue reading Growing Confidence in the Wasteland
It took a lot longer than I hoped but I finally have what I need to play a new scenario in MESBG. Unfortunately, I ran into more warping issues with the previously completed version of Maggot’s crop so I ended up pitching it. Instead, I got some crops from my favorite MDF supplier, Charlie Foxtrot … Continue reading Farmer Maggot’s Crops Done (For Real This Time)
