Apres le Deluge

 I am sorry that I've not posted in recent months.

I've been staggering around rather as I try to re-establish some equilibrium after a rather life-altering event. Not cancer. Nothing remotely medical. I'm OK and the kids are OK and that's all that matters.

Now, as a respite from running about in panicked circles, trying to put things back together into a semblance of order the hobby has always been a patient refuge.

Those little toys are always there, waiting on the time you might be able to sit down with brush or dice to put them through their paces or to provide you with a creative outlet.

Indeed, with money somewhat tighter than in the past, one turns with gratitude to the old projects of happier times with the thought that, well, it's time I got on with finishing that off.

The Idol of Gork from the GW Skull Pass Box set. c.2006?

Nice old monopose Night Goblins from the same set.

The Dwarven Queen Helga and her faithful man-servant Snorri.


The delights of basing.

Sorry to hear of your misfortunes.
Been through more than one such "life changing event" myself the last couple of decades.
As you say the toys are always there to allow you to escape into an "Imagi-Nation" or two.....

Did you ever find your SYW figures BTW?

G'day Neil,

The toys are always patient of our foolishness, and they are always there, bless them.

As to the 7YW lads, no they are gone beyond all recall, like so many other things.

Cheers David,

Some of them have been sitting in boxes here since the early 2000s.

It was way past time to start progressing things a bit! :)
