So a few things from the Postie and a walk to the pound shop...



Working on terrain...





Building more Forge Guards



Going to have a wee break and get back at it later.

Terrain piece finished...









The next piece I am working on.

Very little done and the prospects of getting much done this week is looking slim - between house guests, work, etc. Though I will get a wee bit of brush stabbing done today.

More stuff from the postie. Rather than go out at the weekend to watch the rugby in the pub, I bought the 4Ground buildings (when you add the Pizza, taxi etc, I probably saved money).



I also got some little bits and pieces, and finished another piece of terrain. I'm a fan of the red barrels and the little reeds look good on my swamp. I have added another layer of water effects. If I get time tomorrow, I'll add some static grass and stuff to the banks to finish it off. Then I plan to make some rivers.



Also received my Oathsworn Sci-Fi Wargames Robots. Look great, well cast as always. I got 3 of the Warbots below and a few drones etc plus resin pieces representing the wrecks.

So with my morning coffee nearly finished... I'll stop typing crap and do stuff!

Pool finished. Rather like it.

More stuff being worked on this morning. Coal storage. A few more rocky bits and a 4Ground building.







Rugby time now, then back to it later.

You may have built more terrain since you started this blog that I have built in my life. Great stuff (especially the oasis thing) and keep up the pace!

Great terrain, and the Wood effect on that mill is stunning!

Cheers, Gentlemen!

More stuff being worked on. These 4Ground buildings are really good - quite a bit of work to them, but worth it.



Another piece of terrain finished. Glue still wet, as always

Finished the first of the Terrance houses.

I drank too much on Friday and Saturday night and ordered lots of stuff I don't need...



Working on more 4Groubd stuff...



And finished... Just 17 more to go for the regiment.

Snowy outside, so doing a bit of work this morning.

Bottom of a house done.



Working on a fountain

That mdf terrain (at least I assume its MDF) is pretty cool. Do they have ruined buildings? That would be great for Mordheim.

Yeah, the buildings are all MDF. They have ruins for the fantasy stuff and the WW2 stuff.

Not done much this last week. Not sure there will be much done this weekend but will try and get some odds and ends done.

A few more things from my drunken eBay rampage...Trees and some MDF crates and a pallet.

Really impressive range of terrain building here!

Thanks Silver. Really need to paint some minis though!!!

Finally got round to hanging some "pictures" in my hobby room.



Another building finished



And the next scenery piece.

Awesome stuff in this plog. Especially like the German sentry. Always cool to see improvement in your painting, especially in such a short period of time!

Thanks Thor.

More work on the Forest of Doom. Just gluing trees to bases getting ready for flock and scatter.

The forest of doom is really shaping up nicely.

I think this is the rest of my drunk eBaying...





Just waiting on the glue to dry, and then I'll put the wire round and get a bit of weathering done. I'm going for the abandoned defences, nature fighting back look...



More forest hot glued

Finished. I like it. Only problem is I am running out of scenery bases.



Two more bits for the Forest of Doom. Perhaps a little small for 28mm figures but I am ok with it.

The start of my Warlord/Italleri walls.

More scenery work... I did start cleaning a German Mortar team as well.

Another set of trees based up



Dragons teeth...

Dreadball Season 4 turned up...



Built a Warlord T34/85

Love what you have done so far mate. Especially the german officer. (He is an officer right?)

Would love to see more of your Bolt action stuff, I almost got into bolt action but went the 15mm route instead.

He is a German Feldgendarm, which is basically a military policeman. I've honestly just gotten into Bolt Action in the last few months so am putting together a few forces. I'm enjoying the research and learning loads of stuff I didnt know. As I paint more, I'll definitely post them here.

Anyway, to keep updating what I have been doing (apart from drinking and watching rugby...)

Another set of trees based up



Working on some German vechicles.



Based up my Feldgendarm, just needs another coat of matt varnish now.



Started to paint a Dwarf Driller for KoW



Dreadball and Germans, cleaned and undercoated.



Dragons teeth, I hope to finish today.



More trees done up

Trees done





As it gets played on and bashed about, I'll add more grass and stuff to add more detail.

My German Army so far... The French saw these two guys and surrendered already... (sarcasm alert).



A couple of things that came in the post



My "To be Undercoated" box. Added a few things to it.



Starting work on these. Coal bunker type things.



And another piece of scenery done. The Forest of Doom is still growing

Small update...

Finished.

I am really enjoying watching your collection grow. I like the terrain in particular.

Cheers, JoshInJapan.

Got my set of terrace houses finished while watching some rugby tonight. Really nice and a bargain at the price I got them at. I might paint the doors....





Stuff I am working on.

Well, my addiction is still strong... Bit of shopping on Saturday and a delivery from the postie. Footsore Irish in the plastic bags. Have had a bad cold so not felt like modelling in between drinking Lemsip.



Just getting my coal bunkers/hoppers finished.

4 ground makes fantastic terrain doesn't it.

Nice work, your progress is impressive.

Please let me know how you find lions rampart. Have been considering picking up a copy.

Thanks Carlo, might be a while before I get round to playing but a glance at the rules I think it looks a good game. I sort of want to do some 1066 stuff. Normans, Vikings and Saxons as I like the period and the history is very interesting.

Anyway, finished these. Well I should weather the bricks but they'll do for now. I really need to get my figure painting mojo back.

Still loaded with the cold. I feel icky. Trying to get a few bits and pieces done this morning in-between Lemsip and periods of sweating like a pig on a poke... Hopefully I am going to sit and build a Sherman and a Puma as well today.

Needed some Dark Earth as I stupidly left a half full tub open (though it is still okish!) and needed Javelin for my Footsore Irish so... picked up a few things. Got another version of Field Grey to add slight variation to my Germans.



Another Bunker for Bolt Action and Sci-fi Gaming. These are great for the price. I'll get more I think.



And a look at my wargaming table! I need to start getting storage sorted for this stuff.





Another set of Dragons teeth. Glue still wet as usual!

More dragons teeth done





Sherman built.

Kept on getting Monty Python stuck in my head "We demand a shrubbery"

If I ever cut down a tree with a Herring, I will know I have went too far.

Still feel like death... Sweating buckets, but in between mopping my brow I started on my Perry Rats and Warlord Puma... Both fiddly...
