My hobby review of 2019

I had initially thought that 2019 had been something of a barren year, hobby wise, so I was quite surprised when I looked back through my blog from the past year and discovered that I had actually produced a fair bit and quite the variety too:


I was clearly driven by the many competitions that are hosted in various places and I had a penchant for scenery (which is no surprise to me, I thoroughly enjoy scratch-building) and quite a few larger, ongoing projects were completed, including a Dwarf warband and an entire regiment of Ruglud's Armoured Orcs!

The variety included lots of trash-bashing, a bit of kit building, some Scalextric restorations, sci-fi to fantasy and conversions, pre-built models and lots and lots of painting;

  3. Impressive showcase for the year, look forward to the teaser for what you plan on tackling this year. 2020 is the year of the horned rat for me, lots of Skaven to keep me quiet.

    1. Are they the Jes Goodwin skaven? They're some of my favourite sculpts and I've got a few to paint too. Good luck with it though!

  4. Oh yes, a few lovely Jes Goodwin original Skaven and nice a mix of various releases from their history. Thanks for the encouragement.

  5. It definitely was a good year, you left us with plenty of eye candy to gawk at.
    Still love the tower the most.

  6. They look like real ones! I love them a lot! Have you ever thought about running your own business? I think you could achieve a lot. In case you'll ever need some legal aid on that, I can recommend reading articles from https://www.aaappp.org.uk/
