Huh! Just cracked open a SdKfz 222 kit for Bolt Action, and these days it's got an order die in there as well. That's a nice little touch.

I finally remembered how we smashed through the Uruk Hai for GW Gloucester back in the day. Knowing the paints on the market these days, I'm convinced it's going to be even easier. Muwaha haaa. :D [contains quote post or other embedded content]

It's a drizzling, grey, miserable day - perfect weather to hop on the train and go for a little wander.

I don't know... it feels like once you've done the mixing of colours, the drybrush, the couple of extra washes to finish up, there's not much quicker about using Xpress/Speedpaint and so forth on some figures. An entertaining experiment, but think I prefer…

Maaannn. I miss regular, in-person gaming. Living on the arse end of absolutely nowhere is nice for a lot of reasons, but being so utterly divorced from anywhere to regularly roll dice is really starting to get to me.

Fun Fact: In Euro/American Truck Simulator 2, if you can get your whole truck and trailer into the shoulder on the highway and keep it there, the game doesn't recognize there being a speed limit on the shoulder! Food for thought! :D

I forget sometimes that not everybody's clairvoyant or has seen everything I've done! Marine Juice is one of those immensely useful all-purpose tricks for just about anything you'd care to paint - unless you prefer darker, more intense shading, or you're…

Seen some comments on a video about me 'not inventing' Marine Juice, which is true. It's an old FW army painting trick from the days of Seraphim Sepia. I think I've spent enough time over the last few years tweaking the recipe to be consistent with modern…

Alright, had a quick squizz around the internet for what something of this size goes for when it's painted (and actually painted as opposed to, y'know, eBay Pro Painted™). Looking for $500 or close to - a whole-ass army painted up for action with all the…

Unfortunately, this army's not gonna see much use here. Either one large or two small rifle platoons in Bolt Action with mortar and MMG, officers, a Hetzer, StuG, and Panther. Gauging interest here before eBay gets their hooks in - what *does* this kinda…

Having already tackled the metal '43-44 US Paratroopers from @warlordgames.com in the past, this was a fine opportunity to approach using a different method and range of paints. I think I actually hit more accurate colours this time around! …

Okay, that's me in some serious trouble. I mean, I've already pre-ordered the army box, but I'm probably going to need some reinforcements before long... the @warlordgames.com M42 US paratroopers are ridiculously good.

In what I'm sure is a wholly unrelated note, I really, really like how @warlordgames.com have managed to make the wire folding stocks on the carbines actually like a wire frame rather than big chunks of plastic. Really a lovely little detail on these new…

Gearing up to paint an extremely well-known historical uniform is always a fun exercise - and I mean fun! Gathering up three or four references to make sure things overlap and agree with one another is part of the entertaining part of research.

I've seen no small panic in comments on videos and announcements for the Army Painter Historicals, "How hard is it going to be to match colours? Where will I find which name corresponds to each paint?! What do I do if my Brown Shade runs out?!" Pretty…
