With three days remaining until I take almost 4 weeks off, for R&R, I just completed the basing of Over 1500 'pieces' in 46 hours. They are 1/300 models by Heroics & Ros for a client, depicting a battalion of 9th/21st Panzer, during the Normandy campaign at 1:1 ratio. 

The varied basing was done at the request of my client.

Total project completed two months ahead of schedule to meet my client's needs, by getting in some serious overtime. I estimate a total of around 320 hours from start to finish.

You may imagine , that I am very pleased at this outcome.

How, Over 40 Years Ago, A Guy Called Andy Changed My Life With 5 Words, And Other Reminiscences...

 Of late I have been having long and vivid dreams wherein, I am often walking or travelling with people I have known, some living, some passed, talking over things we had done or said. I confess that it's been eerie but also very liberating. These coversations have been so real that I have awoken in the morning (more usually, half way through the night) and been confused at my surroundings.  Last night I was speaking with Dave Hoyles  - very much alive and kicking - of Q.T Models/Museum Miniatures. The only thing I have noticed is that is often been snowing heavily in these dreams. One of my latest dreams was of the late Ian Smith, another the comic book artist Paul Green - who, thankfully is still with us. This pattern began a few years ago when I had a similar experience with the recently deceased Pete 'Greblord' Armstrong. It was a very cathartic experience for me, as I had much which needed to be said. I may have written of this before, but this particular dream was dif

A Radioactive Wasteland? We Need Another Hero...

Don't    I first attended the Sheffield 'Triples' show in I think 1982, and what a show it was. It could fill the Royal Victoria Hotel, a massive Victorian railway hotel, and was rammed to the rafters for two days with traders and attendees. It had a great painting competition (where, in 1984 I won the first of over 20 competitions, when such things were important to me personally) and a bring an buy which was always packed with good quality stuff for all tastes. There was a buzz that I only ever saw matched at Salute or Northern Militaire and a vibrant 'after show' culture of pub and curry crawls, quizzes and debauchery which, set many a teenage lad on the right track in life. Over the years the show went from strength to strength, finally having to move to a new venue at the EIS in the Don Valley after the loved and loathed Octagon Centre underwent renovations.  The EIS was not as popular as a venue, but what killed 'Triples' was when, following probably

Oh My, This Is A Long One...

 The Stalingrad re-enactment continues here at Fackham Hall, in the shadow of the Dark Tower. Yesterday was particularly hellish with the first visitation of that agent of disorder and damnation, commonly known as The Plasterer. At 3PM, I found myself almost silent in my distress (a rare thing indeed, as many will atest) with what is left of the bedroom, coated with a layer of plaster because , you know, plasterers just can't work using dust sheets. Hopefully, if the gods deign to smile upon us, we will have this demon exorcised by close of play on Monday, whereby the other troublesome spirit, The Builder, will return to rip or hammer something else. If we are lucky we'll have everything sorted by the May Bank Holiday weekend. I confess that I've done little pertaining to gaming this week, as trying to work in this living hell is bad enough, but I have been thinking as I do, aboutthe hobby in general and reflecting on how far I've come in the hobby and indeed the busine
