Painting, Terrain, Dioramas, and Battle Reports Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game and Fallout
I have a little bit of time post-wedding to update the old website so I thought I’d take advantage of it. Instead of my usual painting progress, I wanted to write what I would probably classify as a personal essay. It relates to my main hobby that I discuss here which is miniature wargaming but … Continue reading Hobby Madness
Let’s start with a quick update the Elf project. I made what feels like immense progress this week yet again and am pretty much at the point where I won’t have to paint many more “repeat” parts now which is great. While initially I didn’t think the gems looked as good as the other side, … Continue reading The Elk and Setbacks
Another week and more progress on the all-consuming elf project. I’m working on the other side of the elk which isn’t as exciting but is possibly a bit more relaxing since I have a pretty good idea of what I’m doing with it. I also knocked out the red armor parts which is by far … Continue reading The Far Side of the Elk
I’m going to run out of creative titles for this mini one of these days but at least that day is not today! After finishing the synth, I surprised myself when I started to feel drawn to go back to the elf project. I’m glad I did as I have more or less finished everything … Continue reading The Return of the Elf
So much has been going on since my last update that an update on my personal life is in order. I have moved (finally!). It went pretty well all things considered. The worst part was having to wait almost a week to get the natural gas turned on which meant no warm/hot showers during that … Continue reading Synthetic Life
I finally decided to take a break from painting the Elf this week and focused on something else. Unfortunately, I didn’t choose all that wisely because the final Glowing One for Fallout was a bit of a chore. What I didn’t think about until I started is that painting one of these, is that I’d … Continue reading A Glowing, Ghoulish Finale
As I like to point out with any wargame rules review that I do, I’m a moderately experienced wargamers who’s played two different games consistently and looked at a few more systems beyond that. What follows are just my opinions and things that I think might be interesting to you. I’m not going to comprehensively … Continue reading Pulp Alley Core Rules Second Edition Review
I’ve had a very sleep-challenged week for some reason. I woke up early in the morning Saturday night and couldn’t go back to sleep but then a worse thing started to happen. My dog started showing signs of kennel cough. A dog with a cough, could be a little gross, sure, but what’s the big … Continue reading Even more Pointy-Eared Fun
Well for this week’s installment of what’s going on outside of hobbying, I can share that I closed on the condo finally! It was stressful up until the end but thankfully, I have the keys to the new place and can start to make arrangements to move. A couple of things like switching over utilities … Continue reading An Elven Update and WandaVision
That title might confuse some but I promise it will make sense by the end. This week might have been the worst I’ve had in terms of wedding and moving stress. I finally jumped through enough hoops for the closing only for the lawyer and lender to schedule it on a day without consulting me … Continue reading For Ulthuan and Crom!
