Apologies for being a little late this week with another preview from the buried treasures unearthed when I recaptured my design bench a month or so back. I’d completely forgotten about this set, which was started something like 5 years ago and had been boxed up amongst models to return to, for about half that [...]
Continuing the series of Friday updates regarding ongoing new model designs, this week I’m looking at the progress on the assorted wall sections for the new Hadrian’s / Roman Frontier Wall range. There is a small dilemma with this set of pieces, that I’d like to present to you before I discuss the detail, and [...]
Last week, I previewed the upcoming Porta Secundus Limes / Triarus Civica for the forthcoming Roman Frontier (Hadrian’s Wall) range of 15mm wargames buildings, currently on the design bench. This week, again with copious research notes, I’m looking at the wall turrets which appeared at 500 metre intervals between the mile-forts along the frontier wall, [...]

I thought it would be a good idea to share them with you. As you can see from this overview, the village is [...]
Some people, including wargamers and even “Pro-painters” may never have heard of Johnson’s Klear, or even of Magic Wash, but to hundreds of thousands of figure painters worldwide, it’s been a godsend that has allowed them to significantly improve their finished painting quality. Here in Thailand, I’ve been trying to get my hands on some [...]
During WW2, the British government built a series of offshore platforms designed by Guy Maundsley, as Anti Aircraft (AA) defence platforms. They were intended to provide static defence support for shipping convoys gathering in the Thames shipping channels before transit to their destinations, as well as to prevent inshore raids by enemy surface craft.
