New lands aquired

Posted on 15 February 202115 February 2021 by GJG

The terrain mat has been finished. After the second layer, I have drybrushed all the details with a light fleshy color. Then put some variation with a dark brown wash. But used it more like a filter. Creating a very patchy color. Next step was the flocking. A mix different short grasses and some turf…

Projects and dreams II

Posted on 8 July 20208 July 2020 by GJG

More than a year ago, I presented some plans and ideas. Time to present an update. Some projects have lost interest, miniatures have been aquired and games have been played. I hope that this overview will provide some renewed motivation to finish more projects. New rules Sword and Spear Frostgrave Burrows and Badgers (Bolt Action)…

A new year

Posted on 8 January 2020 by GJG

The new year is already a week old. My start was a little different than planned, and just started with some fiver. But all is running normally again. Last year I started this blog, to motivate myself to continue working on the different projects. I managed only 32 post. I had hoped to post a…

To Infinity and beyond

Posted on 15 November 2019 by GJG

On Crisis 2019 I obtained a box of Corvus Belli Infinity Operation Icestorm. Or actually half the box, the Pan Oceania is missing, but the terrain is still in.

Posted on 18 September 2019 by GJG

Last couple of weeks have been holidays for me. We had decided to visit Ypres and Normandy. Both places I have been before and new some camping sites. Off course when visiting Ypres you cannot ignore the battlefield and memorial at the Menin gate. We did only visit one museum as we only had a…

New desk

Posted on 21 August 2019 by GJG

– “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, we can’t help wondering what an empty desk indicates.” – Unkown One of the first priorities I had at the start of this blog, was the development of my desk. I used to work on an old garden table. But wanted to have…

Tempting ironclads

Posted on 5 June 2019 by GJG

Lately I have been following Jims blog as he is doing some ironclad fleets. His ships look very nice, and are tempting me to start a new project. He documented the painting process quite well. I have even checked the rules “Broadside and Ram” on what would be needed. I know I should stick to…
