Commission painting - My TITAN

So I finally bit the bullet, and admitted I'm too scared to paint my Titan. It's been sitting in the cupboard looking at me each time I open it. So, next week Monday I will deliver it someone to assemble and paint. Should take about a month, he estimates.

Nervous, but roll on Apocalypse games.

The colour scheme I'm aiming for:

Woodlands Scenics burns down

Sad news for scenery fans - Woodlands Scenics has burnt down.

There was a large fire at their factory / offices, everyone safe and no injuries, but completely gutted their plant.

I've used their products a lot with scenery both for Wargaming and when I did model trains.

Motivational post: gaming & kids

So this is a post giving some support to future / current parents and their wargaming, specifically when they have kids.

I've got two daughters - 4 and 7 years old.
When they were both born, for the following 2 years my gaming took a SERIOUS knock. As in, reading websites, painting the odd figure MAYBE getting a single game in every 3 months.

I know there is a fellow blogger / gamer out there who is soon to have his second child. You will take a knock in both space and time, ie no time for gaming, babies are small but their stuff takes up a hell of a lot of room (defintely a time continum issue there - thinking of time travel gives one such a headache I find).

My advise:
hou die geloof which translates roughly to keep the faith. It will get better.

Wait until they're a bit older. Mine currently have SO much fun being in the Man Cave, as well as helping when I need to do flocking of bases.

Paint Range Compatibility Chart

As more and more stockists in Cape Town have other non-GW paints in stock, such as Deckle Edge, Model Railroad specialists etc, I found a handy chart for compatibility.

Wargames Room DONE

So the MAN CAVE, I mean Wargames room, is done.
It's a solid concrete out-building (was a storage room), about 5m x 3m.
