I've been modelling, painting miniatures and wargaming since I was a wee lad in Swansea, this blog details some of my interests - I hope that you like it.
In 2010 I started a new modelling venture - building 40mm AWI/ACW terrain pieces and designing 28mm masters, which are then cast and available for sale from Grand Manner. - All original images and text are copyright of A.

Flash Gordon - The Cliffhanger figures
The main characters from the Cliffhanger range of 40mm figures from Graven Images - Ming, Flash, Dale and Dr. Zarkov
And the main troops and officers
All finished miniatures are mounted on 40mm round bases.
Dude, your site is amazing. If you ever get a hankering to post any 'How To' modeling entries, I'd be a devoted reader for sure! Hard modeling is one of the most difficult aspects of modeling I've found, yet you seem to have it down solid. I notice you gloss your minis for protection? (Am I correct?) I do the same thing. (I'm a terrible klutz at times!) If I don't want the models to look to glossy I'll hit them with Testors Matte Coat to dull them down, but the gloss coat is what protects them. Love the stuff. :D Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the comments, if you give me an idea of the 'how to' modelling articles you would like to see, I'll try to oblige.
I do gloss varnish, but then give a coat of Artists Acrylic Matte varnish (brush on), which dulls the glossiness down a bit. I'm happy with the effcet and would rather have a gloss figure than paint rubbing off.
