Another month gone, the shortest of them all for 2022. This month was definitely a bit on the slow side - I spent a lot of it struggling to actually sleep at night and so the hobby time turned into the "oh god I need to nap or else I'll go mad" time. However, I … Continue reading February 2022 Update

January 2022 Update
New year, new update format! Rather than looking at projects, I'm instead going to take a look at the various aspects of the hobby, giving a much wider view over it all. But as an intro, I'm feeling pretty happy with January. I may didn't paint as much as I wanted but there was some … Continue reading January 2022 Update

2021 in Review
2021 is over. It was definitely a hard year for most people, with me finding myself especially struggling by the end with life and work. However, through all of it there was a lot of good! I managed to get a chunk of things done, including a lot of the social side of the hobby … Continue reading 2021 in Review
November 2021 Project Update
Remember when I said October was busy? November was even busier. Between family stuff, Necromunda campaign wrapping up and starting a Patreon, my actual painting time was pretty limited. But at the same time the "hobby" time was pretty productive, with a fair number of blog posts and scenarios produced. Project 365 Lets take a … Continue reading November 2021 Project Update
October 2021 Project Update
October was a busy month between work and playing in a Necromunda campaign (and the return of Escape from Tarkov to steal my late night gaming time) which left barely any time or motivation for painting. But on the plus side, I did only buy a few tiny extra pieces... Project 365 Lets take a … Continue reading October 2021 Project Update
September 2021 Project Update
Well a little later than usual. So going to say - September felt like a hard month. Generally low on energy and focus across all things, so naturally the painting suffered a touch. But at the same time, managed to get some game time in which is always a plus. On the other hand, I'm … Continue reading September 2021 Project Update
August 2021 Project Update
August is gone. Not the most summery of months for me, I ended up getting my second jab and falling ill on week off (not related, was just run down from work). On the other hand, I got a ton of stuff done hobby wise - painting, printing and writing. So overall, pretty good! Also … Continue reading August 2021 Project Update
July 2021 Project Update
July, another hard month on the old brain but still slowly working through it. At least the heat wave is over. That said, productive month for painting. Also managed to do a little bit of a tidy up, part 1 of fixing up my workspace. The room I work in is mostly done, but I … Continue reading July 2021 Project Update
June 2021 Project Update
Jesus Christ, last month was one from hell. Sleep pattern gone to heck, generally feeling worn out and tired most of the time and all this in spite of having a week off at the start of it. On the plus side, I got stabbed in the arm by some Pfizer so I'm hopefully on … Continue reading June 2021 Project Update
May 2021 Project Update
Welcome to June! May was busy and so I ended up... Wait. That picture seems... different to last month. Something is off. It's almost tidy. Oh yeah - I upgraded my office/hobby room with a new piece of furniture. I'm probably going to do a little thing on it (mostly because I love it) but … Continue reading May 2021 Project Update

In case you haven't seen on my Twitter (or have managed to avoid taking part in what can mostly be a hell site), I've restarted doing the #hobbystreak. This is where you attempt to do a little bit of hobby every day and keep the streak going. Now, I admit I'm very lucky in being … Continue reading #HobbyStreak Day 50
