It is flocking it down here. (Rhetorical answer. Don’t question it.)

Pretty much as soon as I have assembled stuff, I prime it, so I got loads of stuff primed. Had six Shatterpoint gangs primed for months and they’re just sitting there… gathering dust.

Problem I have with winter painting is I prefer to work by daylight… and I live in the UK… daylight is a rarity in winter.

Working a six day week limits my options for painting and as Sunday is RPG night I’m usually prepping for the game.

That leaves the 1 week in 6 when I’m not working to get stuff done, but I often have other stuff to get done… and it’s the only chance I get to set up a good solo boardgame (Eldritch Horror and Journeys in Middle Earth are the prime choices) and sadly I usually end up doing something else.

This year I’m 60 and got that week off too. Two options have popped into my head as ‘birthday treats’… 3D printer and Z gauge railway (I have some N gauge stuff, but no space for it at the moment). Both of those consume money and time.

So I sort of have a plan for winter hobby. But at this point it’s a lot of options and no decisions.

Kinda given up an pledges as I just see what happens.
