Before I reveal what surprising thing could possibly have happened two days into the new year, I want to share a bit of hobby progress. Both things I worked on took up a fair bit of time so I haven’t been quite as productive as I expected but I can’t complain too much since I’m … Continue reading A Shocking Start to 2021
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!
I have two things to show off this week that I’m proud of but both overstayed their welcome a bit longer than I was hoping and took quite a long time to finish. Hopefully, they ended up being worth the extra effort! The first item is actually a piece of terrain that solved a specific … Continue reading “Another Settlement Needs Our Help”
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
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)
