Promises kept

00 A while ago I promised my youngest son that I would make him a gaming table for use with his Lord of the Rings figures. So, now that Jurassic Reich is packed away and the shed is cleaned up again, it was time to fulfil my promise and start work on this little project. […]

An ending of sorts…

00 The big day has come and gone. The dice have stopped rolling and the tables have been packed away for another year. This year’s Little Wars was everything I had hoped and expected it to be – packed with people exploring new games, having fun, rolling dice and coming away with a swag-load of […]

On the road (almost)

00 The castle is packed in the boot and the table is assembled ready for strapping to the roof of the car. It’s finished* – with about 2 hours to spare! The road trip starts at 7:30am tomorrow and I should reach Ballarat around 3:00pm where I’ll be stopping for the night and then driving […]

Minis for JR

00 A recent reconnaissance flight over Nazi-occupied France captured an image that immediately sparked interest amongst the Allied High Command. The following document is considered “Most Secret.” Check out the dossier compiled by our man in the field for more photographs: Jurassic Reich Blog

Time is running short, but I’ll make it…

00 The big day is drawing near (a week and a half to go), but the castle is taking shape very nicely now. I’ve finished sculpting the cliffs and there’s very little actual construction that needs to happen now – it’s just the remaining painting that needs to be done and filling in some gaps […]

Full steam ahead and damn the torpedoes

00 Time is running out to get this done in time, so I switched into “Full Panic Mode” and drew up a project plan listing all of the tasks I had remaining and an estimate of the time I need to complete each one. I then worked out how much I can work on this […]

Another update

00 Work is progressing at a pace now that panic has set in. I have almost finished the farmyard, just need to do some windows and doors and finish off the thatching on the small shed. The dino lager is my project to complete over Easter, and by then I should also have a substantial […]

Farmville pays off

00 So after extensive experience at virtual farming, I thought I’d take up hobby farming instead. The construction is still underway at the moment – I need to do one building, finish painting the farmhouse and do its windows, as well as detailing the ground cover and other bits and pieces – but it’s almost […]

Terra-forming in Progress, pedestrians please use other path.

00 I’ve got the basic landforms done now and I’m just covering the foam with polyfilla and building up the cliff faces bit by bit. It’s coming along pretty well, but i am behind schedule and am starting to look for places where I can take short cuts to save time. As usual with me, […]

Atomic Sunset

00 The blinding light of an atomic blast fills the skies over New Mexico. The intense heat from the blast instantly vaporizes everything within a one mile radius. A deadly cloud of radiation falls over the land causing most living things to sicken and die an agonizing death. But some creatures survive, mutated by the […]
