Well it has been over 4 years since I have made a blog post. I could go into a long and detailed explanation as to why I have not posted but I will just keep it short... I became demotivated, and I didn't really see the point as I thought Blogs were a redundant platform.
I have been hobbying though, I have had a few breaks but I have painted hundreds of miniatures since my last post on here. I have been posting on Twitter, now known as X, Instagram and to a lesser extend Threads. I think Twitter and Instagram are the strongest platforms for hobby content and I really think Facebook is losing its way and I rarely post hobby related content on it.
Some of my motives to return to blogger include:
- Blogging is the best way to store and categorise your content
- Your content shows in google searches more easily
- I want to practice my writing skills
- Your Hobby gets lost on Facebook and other social media platforms
My Hobby remains extremely diverse, I have been doing a range of genres, periods and scales. I have drifted slowly away from Historicals, but, I still dabble in them and will always have a strong interest in WW2 and hobbying it. I will not be posting everything I do onto Blogger but I will try and replicate some of the content I have created on here.
I will include a few photos of what I have done over the last four years to give you some idea of what I have been up to for those that do not follow me on X, Instagram and Threads.
 |
| 28mm WW2 is by far my largest miniatures collection and will always feature on here |
 |
| 28mm Fallshirmjager by Warlord Games, some minor kitbashing done |
 |
| Blitzkrieg Germans are best Germans |
 |
| I love 3D printing and continue to do so |
 |
| I still enjoy 20mm WW2 and I have a large Panzer Lehr Force. These miniatures are from Elhiem. |
 |
| I absolutely love Warhammer Fantasy Battle and I am glad The Old World is back |
 |
| 28mm Sci Fi is another love of mine |
 |
| I prefer the "First Born" Space Marine aesthetic over Primaris |
 |
| I got into Turnip 28 a few years ago and will return to it someday |
 |
| I love Dungeon Crawls and Mantic's Dungeon Saga Origins has caught my attention |
 |
| Zombicide is my favourite boardgame. I love all versions of it |
 |
| 15mm Vietnam is something I am hoping to do more of |
In conclusion I would like to blog more, I might try and make it a fortnightly thing and go from there. Currently I am doing a minor renovations to our home and I am losing my dedicated Hobby space but will be replacing it with something better soon and am looking forward to blogging about that.
Thanks for reading.
Have to agree with you, blogs do take a bit of time putting together but are great as a reference. cheers John
ReplyDeleteHi John, nice to hear from you, I am going to have to take some time to sit down and catch up with your Blog.
DeleteCouldn't agree more mate - I've deliberated the big "blog delete' button a few times but ultimately decided to keep it, because Ive refocused it it on me as the primary audience. I try to blog once a month with pics of games I've played or projects I've progressed. I now log all my paint recipes in those posts so its a great reference (and I kept loosing all my notebooks and bits of paper!).
ReplyDeleteI'm also trying to put more pics of the people playing now, not just the tabletop action. After loosing some gaming mate in recent months I've remembered that that is the most important thing of all to capture and enjoy into the future.
As ever mate, I'll keep enjoying coming to see what you are up to and be inspired by your fantastic paintjobs!
I do love me some man cave updates! I am going to have to sit down and play some catch up.
