2024 New Year's Resolutions

I'm not usually one for resolutions but this year I intend to sell off some of my scratch built terrain pieces. I just have too many and they take up too much space.

Over the next couple of months I will be posting images or taking them to show so that they can be sold - so keep an eye out for newly posted FOR SALE labels on the Blog.

Happy New Year.

The Hound of the Baskervilles - BBC Going Classical

The BBC 4 series Going Classical features the BBC orchestra and world-renowned singers or musicians performing in some of the UK's most beautiful halls. In this case we have the orchestra performing a new piece with Mark Gattis and Sanjeev Baskar as Holmes and Watson re-telling the story of The Hound of the Baskevilles. 

I think this was the best piece of TV I saw (or more accurate listened to) over the holiday period. For more information see this link.

You can still enjoy it on BBC iPlayer. Highly recommended.

Christmas 2023

A quick post showing some of the presents I had for Christmas - Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without at least one pack of DAS.

I hope you had some great presents.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Old Tom - A Tale from the White Liar Tavern

Day 21 of the Orcs in the Webbe 2023 Advent and a short White Liar Tale written by me. Old Tom is based on the Robbie Burns poem Tam O'Shanter with suitable Flintloque themes. I hope you like it.

Happy Advent

Bro Dawel all Christmassy

The Bro Dawel cottage was scratch built by me some time ago and has previously appeared in Miniature Wargames - see this post. The model is based on the Lilliput Lane Bro Dawel - see below.

I wanted to add some Christmas themed props to the model and then gift it as a Christmas cottage for a seasonal or Lemax style festive table piece. I have used 'bits and bobs' from my spares box and scratch built some candy canes as well as adding DAS snow to the thatched roof.

The final addition was the snowman that was modelled from Milliput with a Shako from my spares box.

Merry Christmas

A Christmas Movie?

It's Christmas movie time and earlier this week Sue and I settled down to watch one. Holly suggested Die Hard with Bruce Willis. Not your first Christmas movie choice but if in any doubt just watch this You Tube video from Alfie Boe and Disney - link

Merry Christmas and Yippie Ki Ya
