September hasn't been a particularly productive month for hobby stuff. Real life has been busy trying to put the house up on the market and find somewhere to move to so have had to pack most of my hobby stuff away and do a lot of 1:1 scale work instead. A few bits from earlier … Continue reading Projects Update – September 2020
August was a busy month in real life so hobby progress has been slow. Been clearing the house and packing things away in preparation for putting the house on the market, as well as having a number of family events and a pleasant break with a few days away.

It has been somewhat slow going, mostly due to this being a pretty … Continue reading English Civil War Progress Update

To solve the issue with the card being too thin to be practical I decided to use magnetic tape I found on eBay. The tape … Continue reading Paper Wars
Taking a break from the ECW for a bit, I decided to tidy up some of the bits of the Crusaders backlog along with one or two other things I found to do.
