Keeping track of my reading in 2024 was both fun and helped me read more consciously – so it only makes sense to continue in 2025… My goals for this year include carrying on reading comics in French, carry on exploring ancient classics (next on the list in that regard […]

In order to do some dungeon exploring with my boys, I have been painting some miniatures with dungeon-style bases. My comfort zone is metal miniatures. Only two of these are metal. The original Heroquest zombie (last image) is hard plastic, the rat is resin and the ‘friendly lady’ is the […]
Recently I have painted some goblins (and a snotling). I have been experimenting a bit with goblinoid skin colours. I think goblins look best with a mixture of skin colours – ranging from green to almost yellow. The miniatures are all old Citadel Miniatures. The absurdly blue (why did I […]
Here is a halfling musician that I have sculpted. Sadly it would be impossible to mould and cast this little guy – so I’ll just paint him myself. I am considering making a new version and some other halfling musicians that CAN be moulded and cast. 18mm from his feet […]

The first in a series of halflings I am working on. The little guy looks a little patchy because I applied the two-part putty that I use to cover the metal armature rather too thickly – the colour changes when it is baked and then it leaks through the Beesputty […]
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune and and some alien slugs must be in want of more alien slugs…. and therefore I have sculpted some more. They will be available at some point in the near future from https://cpmodels.co.uk One […]
