trapdoorogre's hobby revival 2020

This is the wall of text where I explain what this project is about. (In more detail than the project description.)

Presenting trapdoorogre

Who, or what, is the Trapdoor Ogre? That is me. I lurk and I like. Sometimes I build, kitbash and sculpt.

Presenting #kitbashember

Kitbashember is a kitbash event held in November, organized by the hobbyist currently known as @papa.negan . It is one of the reasons I look forward to November and a major reason my hobby life awakens this time of year. 

There’s a theme each year and prompts for ten models following this theme. (First year it was a pit fighting team, second archeology and this year a virus/zombie outbreak.) The goal is to kitbash one model every three days and thus having a complete set of ten at the end of the month.

This year we got one list of prompts for the 40k setting and one for fantasy/AoS. Since I prefer non-canonical and mixed settings I took the prompts I liked from each list and made my own.

I rarely meet deadlines and this year is no different. Instead of doing one model in three days I’m working on multiple models at the same time. That way I can make some details on one model and let the putty harden while I move on to the next.

Presenting #nomvember

Nomvember is a celebration of all things tyranid and it too takes place in November. It’s about building, painting or converting tyranids. Or, as i like to do, use tyranid kits to build other weird things. The brain behind it is @modernsynthesist , an inspiring hobbyist and one of my greater hobby heroes. Nomvember contributions are showcased on the instagram account @warpshadow

Presenting ever more

November seem to be a month of explosive hobby activity and many events, challanges and competitions pop up. If there is time and energy left I also want to partake in #alltag40k (about everyday life in 40k) #LockdownLeisureLeague (I can finally spell it) #nyomunda and probably many more.
