On Scale: From soldiers to buildings

One question that comes up regarding most war games is "What scale is it?".  Most of us give the easy answer as either 28mm or 1/58th scale.  But what scale is your game really in?

Update time!

So I'm currently working on some pieces that will end up on e-bay.  Stay tuned to see when they are up for grabs.

Right now, I'm working on sticking to our new family budget so we'll see how much goes to models.

But my wife has thrown down the gauntlet.  She's promised to pick up 40K and WHFB again if I clean out the back room.

I accept that challenge.  (Just not sure how long thats going to take though.)

End of the Year... And on to the Next!

So being busy with the holidays and the kids, there hasn't been much time to do any actual building and painting.  But there is plenty of time to think about what's next.

So for the start of the new year, it will either be:

1. Try to finish my Chaos Emperor's Children
2. Actually build some terrain
3. Finish painting my Space Hulk figures
4. Start on my Dreadfleet figures
5. Get my car running
6. Complete the <Secret Project>
7. Sit around and play video games

I have a good feeling that some projects will get done in a timely manner.  But that all depends on commissions and the family.

Whatever happens, I promise there will be a lot more posts of some real goodies.

Till then,
TTFN!

What's new?

So it has been a while since I have posted anything new.  So what is new? 

Despite having to work for a living and being busy with the family,  the <SECRET PROJECT> has been commencing very slowly.  I have just finished the plans for one of the main buildings that IMHO have come together nicely.

There still is the need to test them to see if they work correctly and fine tune them.

I hope that at the start of the next year, production will start and all will be revealed.

Till then, I'll be slaving away at plans, building, and testing.

Stay tuned to see how it all turns out.

Still alive!

For my normal followers and those who check in from time to time, you may have realized that there have not been any new posts for awhile.  This may be true, but the blog is still alive and kicking.

As life is, many things have come up that do not afford me the time that I would like to dedicate to my hobby.  Kids, work, home, etc.  The last big modeling effort was putting together an engine for my car that I need for day to day stuff.  I have been working overtime at work; add extra hours to already twelve hour shifts and there's not a lot of time for much else, let alone sleep.

But do not be discouraged.  I still have a lot of projects that have been on the back burners that will be brought forward for all to see.  I'm even close to starting my own Kickstarter project (stay tuned, details will follow).

So thank you to those who still check in hoping to see something new.  Believe me, there will be a lot of new stuff coming up.

Till them,  TTFN!
