http://slowp8nter.blogspot.com/2016/01/an-entry-finished-at-last-for-painting.html
Fun, friends and figures from more than 30 years working in and out of the wargames industry. I am the slowest miniatures painter you have ever met but I can't stop collecting more figures! Saturday, 16 January 2016. An entry finished at last for the Painting Challenge. It's taken nearly four weeks but I finally got an entry in to the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge. Building a US force in 20mm to be used mainly for Chain of Command. However only one figure is permanently attached. I used putty t...

Wednesday, 30 December 2015. The Best Napoleonics Games Ever Made? After a very long hiatus I managed to get in a game of Slaughterloo! With David K. We have always loved this Napoleonique Fantasy game. It has very simple but demanding rules that make for a fun and challenging game. The Centre of the table. My Elf Lin...

A Slowpainter's Progress: Challenge done but not completed - lessons learned
http://slowp8nter.blogspot.com/2016/04/challenge-done-but-not-completed.html
Fun, friends and figures from more than 30 years working in and out of the wargames industry. I am the slowest miniatures painter you have ever met but I can't stop collecting more figures! Monday, 4 April 2016. Challenge done but not completed - lessons learned. As it turns out I only made it to 216 points. There were many personal challenges along the way, not least of which was my eyesight. I ended up purchasing a flip down magnifying visor (as used by watchmakers) which helps a lot. This will be a su...

Project Montrose: So what is Project Montrose?
http://projectmontrose.blogspot.com/2013/06/so-what-is-project-montrose.html
Wargaming the Civil War in Scotland. Monday, 24 June 2013. So what is Project Montrose? Rather more years that I care to remember I came across some information on James Graham, first Marquis of Montrose, and his campaigns in Scotland during the Civil War. Given that I was interested in dipping my toe in gaming the English Civil War and these were relatively small engagements but with a interesting variety of troops it looked like an excellent starting point. But rather a complement to them. I hope t...

A Slowpainter's Progress: A week of great buys and great friends
http://slowp8nter.blogspot.com/2016/02/i-just-wanted-to-share-this-with-you.html
Fun, friends and figures from more than 30 years working in and out of the wargames industry. I am the slowest miniatures painter you have ever met but I can't stop collecting more figures! Sunday, 7 February 2016. A week of great buys and great friends. I was only talking about it at work this week and how excited I was to receive it so many years ago. I was at a swap meet today and they had one. Not the best or most accurate kit ever but an important nostalgic purchase. Of course I bought it. A retaile...
