4 years later...

 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.

8mm WW2 German Panzer Grenadiers by Warlord Games
28mm WW2 is by far my largest miniatures collection and will always feature on here

28mm Winter Americans by Warlord Games

WW2 Winter Fallschirmjager
28mm Fallshirmjager by Warlord Games, some minor kitbashing done

28mm WW2 Polish Airborne by Warlord Games

28mm Blitzkrieg German Pioneers
Blitzkrieg Germans are best Germans

28mm 3d Printed WW2 Terrain
I love 3D printing and continue to do so

20mm WW2 Panzer Lehr Miniatures
I still enjoy 20mm WW2 and I have a large Panzer Lehr Force.  These miniatures are from Elhiem.

WW2 3d Printed House Normandy

Warhammer Fantasy Ghouls
I absolutely love Warhammer Fantasy Battle and I am glad The Old World is back

Warhammer Fantasy Empire

Games Workshop Fantasy Skeletons

Games Workshop Hex Pot Paints

Blood Bowl Undead

Victoria Miniatures Ogre
28mm Sci Fi is another love of mine


Sci Fi Hanger

Iron Warriors Space Marines Horus Heresy
I prefer the "First Born" Space Marine aesthetic over Primaris
Turnip 28 Regiment
I got into Turnip 28 a few years ago and will return to it someday


Dungeon Saga Origins Zombies
I love Dungeon Crawls and Mantic's Dungeon Saga Origins has caught my attention

Zombicide 2nd Edition Painted Miniatures
Zombicide is my favourite boardgame.  I love all versions of it

15mm Vietnam ANZAC
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.
