My one ask has always been the return of boot camps. That could absolutely include virtual ones, too, but for me, the 3 boot camps I attended in person were the best times in the hobby.

Background music does remind that I was once planning on building a speaker into my gaming table and/or terrain…

But the death of the Maplin shop makes getting hold of the components more difficult.

Until I googled… I wasn’t even aware that the online Maplin still existed… had assumed it was all shut down.

Can we have world peace too please? And no idiots in charge of world powers?

And the project system accepting uploads without timing out.

@horati0nosebl0wer  why would you do NMM on eyes? YOU MAD MAN! XD

@avien best pledge in a long time! 🙂

Tuesday morning. My back hurts. Brain is foggy. Let’s get working XD

Looks like “Forum” is a big topic.

@avien I don’t think the launch/opening of discord was real *the* factor but more “the final nail” as the old BoW was (as far as I remember) a real forum. Not a wordpress plonk-in. (I call it a plonk-in because it’s not really working like a plug-in would)

Don’t make things worse for usability by making it l…

My wish list:

1. Faster, more reliable, Projects system. With some quality of life improvements.
2. More in studio content.
3. Yes, a better forum platform would be amazing.
4. Bootcamps and other events. Also adds to #2, bootcamps were fun to watch from home. I just received Matthew Bickley Vikings Kickstarter and I’m a Saga virgin. You know wh…

Ah, yes. A good forum….

My biggest wishes for Phase 3:

1. Don’t make things worse for usability by making it look good. So many companies fall for this issue sadly.
2. More and better hamsters to keep the project system working better and faster. Or just make it more efficient so that the current hamsters can cope better.
3. Look at some of…[Read more]

Pledge: Finish the hop lites and storage containers

OK, last pledge was a bomb but I got some stuff done. Doing NMM for armor and then getting to eyes. I think I’ve made progress. I also did one storage container as a test of a makeup blending brush and it seemed to work ok. It wasn’t the ideal for a drybrush as I didn’t want to play around with…[Read more]

Seeing ants after reading Phase IV and my mind went back to the way way back. I recall a scene of the dead ants lined up as in a cemetery but not much else. My mind goes to Day of the Animals right after that.

We can always jump to Leonard Part VI.

Pledge: interact with the forum more! Finish my enclosure for the resin printers so I can get models printed. Spent the weekend getting all the extractor ducting in place so nearly there!

I use music to get through my workday, so for hobby it tends to be a podcast or audiobook. Been listening to a lot of lore YouTubers lately as well.

An improved forum and project system would be great. Particularly more mobile friendly.

I’ve been put off posting projects because formatting them correctly on the phone isn’t smooth.

I feel like the discord killed the forum a bit though. Maybe it’s faulty memory but I think the forum went very quiet when the discord was launched. Can’t put tha…[Read more]

Not quite what I’m painting but my Shadows of Brimstone group decided to do Heroforges of our characters.

So here’s my Bandido with samurai helmet, magical robes and naginata. Yes we’re touring feudal Japan.

This weeks pledge, and my terrain fest project, done: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1896810/
