00 Well, I have discovered exactly how addictive Facebook is. For the past month I have been hooked on the damned site and its simple but highly playable Flash games like Farmville. Damn! “Spodding” at its worst – to waste time doing something that is ultimately useless while you should be doing something else. Time […]
00 Very much a Work-In-Progress, so excuse the crappy paint job etc. Lot’s to do still – I had hoped to get it finished this month, but it turned out larger than I was expecting and I ran out of time, so it will spill into September now. Good job I’m a bit further along […]
00 I am actively working on two terrain projects at the moment, one is the Jurassic Reich table and the other is a 3D gaming table for a totally cool game called Incursion. I have some WIP shots elsewhere in the blog, but these are the latest pictures – hot off the camera.
00 The beauty of this whole Jurassic Reich table is that I can switch from one model to another and avoid the boredom factor that usually plagues me with large projects. So for the month of August I have been concentrating on the smaller models that will be scattered about the valley below the castle […]
00 My workbench is completely covered in mould(s)! As a way of reducing the repetition and speeding up the building process for my Jurassic Reich and Incursion projects, I have made a number of master models and created moulds, so that I can repeatedly cast as many copies as I need. In particular, I made […]
00 It’s a rare thing to see a painted mini in my collection, and even rarer for it to be shown to the public! But I was so proud of this – well, the idea more than the actual paint job.
00 This has a darker edge to it than the others…
00 The castle has come a long way since May and my enthusiasm is still raging at full strength (which is weird for me since I get bored quickly on large projects). I’ve not felt this excited about a model since I made my own Weathertop a few years ago. But I realise that I […]
00 You’re probably sick of seeing the same old gatehouse façade time and time again. Well, this’ll be the last time until I put the roof on ok? The curtain wall to the left of the gatehouse is coming along nicely. I’ve clad the stonework on a couple of sections and started doing the battlements […]
00 Have been hard at work on the castle each night this week and it’s starting to take shape now. I have cut out the walls for the Great Hall and glued the buttresses in place on the front. Also, I have been repeatedly casting a section of random stone wall I made a while […]
