Mucking about (Updated).

Just mucking about

Hi all,
         I have been watching model painting videos over the last few days, apart from doing some artwork and mucking about in the garden, strimming hedge borders one side and hacking through brambles bindweed and ivy on the other. It is looking better, but I pranged my big toe in the process and could not get to the computer, as I needed to keep the foot elevated. Oh woe was me. I made the best use of time by doing a couple of watercolour pictures in the back garden, which I will post here in due course.

I'm glad to say that it's on the mend now. The Big Supermarkets are quoting a five day wait for deliveries, so I hobbled down the hill to the local corner shop today, only to find out they were shut. I had mixed a day up in my mind and it was Sunday, not Monday, as I thought. Good job I still had tinned stuff in hand.

My lone can of grey primer seems to have gone astray, so I am stuck with continuing with models I have already coated. I may try giving some existing models a wash, a technique I have not tried as yet, so fingers crossed for that. I will report back on the results.

I have also done a few moon shots.

I also found this of Mel, who hosts the Vlog "The Terrain Tutor". A great guy, as I'm sure quite a few of you know from watching some of his episodes on youtube. or at theterraintutor.co.uk

Barrage Show from Stafford 2019

Hi all,
        Here are my photographs from the Barrage Wargame show in Stafford.

"If you went, did you enter into the jungle?"

"All sorts of nasties waiting for the unwary."

"Blood Bowl" in the gaming room. I have never played it, but seen a few videos, good fun.

Another match going on. "Will he fall for my cunning plan?"

One of the stalls selling SF Layouts. Lots of goodies.

Another shop display.

Another way to get rid of all that loose change in your pocket.

All budgets catered for.

"Get stuck in, Lads"

"Which window has the sniper in it?  No beating your hands on the table in anger."

A nice idea here, the vertical cards in the terrain block the line of sight and give a visual representation as well.

"Battlemats at the ready,? Then "Chocs Away!"

40k Battlegrounds now .....

"You may recognize Mel, the Terrain Tutor Blogger and Author, who I bumped into while we were both taking a break. If you see him at a show, give him a wave. For more details, go to -  http://www.theterraintutor.co.uk/
Highly recommended, well known in the hobby, so if you are stuck on a build, drop him an email or one of his vlogs.

"Thanks to his "Better Half" for taking the photos.

Mel can be found at theterraintutor.co.uk. Enjoy.

That's your lot for pictures.

Personally, I bought some ancient battle rules, a Frostgrave supplement and the Fading Suns core rulebook, some scenery bits and some 15mm figures.

Thanks for a great show everybody.
