IT HAS ARRIVED!

Yes, today I got the Dungeons & Dragons Starter Kit. I got it from Waterstones of all places and as I have a Waterstones card I got two stamps on my card (the starter kit is £19.99 but I got a reduced price graphic novel taking it over £20 and thus getting 2 stamps) I will need to do some reading through the two booklets but there is also a intro session being done by West End Games https://westendgames.co.uk/ so I might go to that I NEED FRIENDS! There is also the Dungeons & Dragons website. 

                                                                               Another Zvezda model

Just thought I would show you another completed Zvezda model this is the Sd.Kfz 184 Ferdinand scale 1/100 the flash of the camera does not really do it justice. The paints I used were two humbrol paints 83 ochre and 86 light olive and a Vallejo natural steel.

Return of the Commando-A-Thon

One of the rare times I have a brain blast (I think brain blast is what Jimmy Neutron said) I am going to revive my Commando-A-Thon. I was doing a Commando-A-Thon on Youtube/Booktube but because of that COPPA thing I had to take those videos and make them private. So I am going to bring back the Commando-A-Thon here on the blog maybe in video form. Currently reading No. 1782 WHEN TIME RUNS OUT. 

The Lure of Tabletop Gaming is Pulling on me!

I don't know why but the allure of tabletop gaming is drawing me in. Probably because I have been working on a lot of model kits lately. My favorite scale is 1/144 and Russian company Zvezda do a lot of nice WW2 aircraft and that his led me to buy Stalingrad 1942 - 1943 Art of Tactic game on ebay for a good price. You can find a video for the game here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opUE1yVtw3w so we will see how good the game is although for me it is more about collecting and painting the models. I also want to get into the much more popular Dungeons & Dragons I saw a starter pack in Waterstones for £20 and also the might of Games Workshop cannot be denied but it is early days. If anybody has recommendations or wants to play and possibly take me under their wing contact me and let me know. 

Below if it works are 2 examples of my Zvezda 144 model kits

Yo I'm back

I forgot I had this blog. I might post to it this year I might not.

Already in 2019 there are two deaths (sort of deaths) and three if you count HMV. The science fiction YouTuber Thinkbolt posted his final video on 2 Jan 2019 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXLuRvBJFc and Ahoy Comics in Dundee Scotland is closing down www.comicsahoy.com if they are still publishing seems doubtful. The main thing about these two deaths is how negative it is especially in regard to Thinkbolt. But these two deaths make me more determined to support those who remain I need to visit the comicbook shops that are still going all the more and use the library every time I am near one. I close with a line from the Bruce Springsteen song Atlantic City "Everything dies baby that's a fact, but maybe everything that dies some day comes back."
