After a quiet month in September on the hobby front (due to being very busy on the real life front), I've been making the most of November to partake in hobby activities. As well as finishing off the Qin and Chu armies, I got in two games with them using To the Strongest which was … Continue reading Projects Update – November 2020

Managed to get a few pieces … Continue reading Projects Update – August 2020

I've made some good progress on a few things this month. Switching to doing smaller units has kept up a better momentum and I've finally been getting a bit more time to do hobby stuff this month.
