I survived another annual team-building day at work and a holiday party this week and still managed to make some real inroads on my current projects. It is a long story but basically I unexpectedly have to use up paid time off work so I found myself with extra time to hobby and relax which … Continue reading More Ruffians Gather and a Goblin Town Update
Happy belated Thanksgiving to all my American visitors out there! I hope you had a great holiday break and had some extra hobby time like I have had. While I wouldn’t say I’ve been painting tons over this break like I sometimes do, I have gotten a fair amount done even with my current addiction … Continue reading Giving Thanks for Hobby Time
It has certainly been another eventful week hobbying for me with the start of some new projects and the continuation of others. To start off with something new, I painted my first Ruffian. He needs a coat of varnish to dull down the shine but for the first one of a troop choice, I’m satisfied … Continue reading Ruffians and Thoughts on Goblin Town Terrain
I’ve discussed the idea of display painting versus tabletop painting but I don’t think I’ve shown almost any of my best projects on this site which is something I aim to rectify! Its also well-timed as I got a bunch of Goblin Town terrain finished this week but not enough to make for an interesting … Continue reading My First and Current WIP Display Pieces
This week I powered through to finish two “projects” that have been going on for a while. The first is one you already have seen but its nice to have the basing done. In my mind, I thought these were going to look a little cooler (the bases that is) than they turned out. I … Continue reading The Joy of Finished Projects
I had one goal this week: Get the remaining members of the Fellowship painted. I have started and stopped several projects lately (like getting the trees made) and so I wanted to get something done that I could feel good about. Fortunately, I mostly feel good about these last two paint jobs. Aragorn came out … Continue reading The Unbreaking of the Fellowship
While this is one of those weeks where every time I painted, I felt like I could have used another 10-15 minutes to get more accomplished, I do have some interesting things to share. First up, I built my Goblin King that I got a while back. As today’s post title suggests, building anything in … Continue reading Friends Don’t Let Friends Use Finecast
This week was a bit of a low point for me hobbywise. I had a difficult week at work where I had to get re-acclimated to being in the office which completely exhausted me. It felt like I had little energy and less time to hobby this week than I’ve ever had. I still don’t … Continue reading Making Pine Trees for MESBG
It has been two weeks since my last update and I will blame my surgery for that. It really did a number on me. For the first couple of days after surgery I could barely sleep or eat. The pain was pretty high and I was completely dependent on my fiancee. On my birthday, things … Continue reading Post-Surgery Painting Renaissance
Another week in the books and its once again time to check in on my hobby progress which was somewhat light this time. All I have to show is three painted up Hobbit Militia who are done other than being based. Surprisingly, I had a pretty good time painting these metal sculpts which don’t have … Continue reading In Defense of the Shire and the Eriador Project
