I’ve been thinking about all of the models that I have painted this year and how it compares to last year.

My Hobby Plans for 2022
I’m a little late with making Hobby Resolutions for the new year, but I wanted to make a bit of a plan that I could attempt to stick to.
Continue reading “My Hobby Plans for 2022”2021 – A Year in Review
Another year is over and so once again we’ve reached that time where we look back at all of the models that I managed to paint (and a little bit said about those that I didn’t).
Continue reading “2021 – A Year in Review”Painting motivation
I’ve been struggling with painting motivation for the past few months.
Work has been busy and when I’ve finally had time to myself, the idea of painting has felt more like a chore. As a result, I’ve done very little.
Continue reading “Painting motivation”Hobby Bingo 2021
In recent years (possibly every year?), White Dwarf magazine has produced some sort of plan to encourage hobbyists to get their projects completed over the course of a year. This year’s attempt is a form of Hobby Bingo. Essentially there are 25 boxes in a grid. Each box contains a hobby task to complete over the course of the year.
- Complete a box, earn 10 points.
- Complete a line, earn 50 points.
- Complete the entire grid, earn 400 points.

We are now on week 9 (or is it 10?) of the Global Lockdown, and my hopes of getting lots of my backlog finished has unfortunately not happened.
The reason for this is that I am very fortunate in that I have been able to continue working from home. And I’ve been quite busy. As such, I haven’t had as much time as I hoped I would have to try and fit extra hobby sessions in.
Continue reading “Lockdown Armies”Home made army storage
I, like many people in this hobby, have a lot of models. Models that I fully intend to (one day) have built and painted.
I’ve found myself recently picking up a paint brush again and like the hobby butterfly that I am, have jumped from one army to the next.
At the moment, I don’t have enough models painted for any of the armies that I could game with. As a result, it’s left me with a little dilemma, where do I keep these models?
