An app to assist with calculating the hit chance and damage with modifers, for Bolt Action
A while back I made some sci-fi terrain and embedded loads of tiny 0805 sized LEDs in the walls and around doors. It was pretty cool but took a *lot* of effort to control them all independently. Instead of single-colour […]

So I used to prime my models while they where blu-tack'ed to my DIY miniature holder and inserted in an old LEGO cardboard box. But that was a very unstable way. So I did what I usually do: I go […]

On the Dropzone Commander Community FB group, someone asked if there where any models for tornado’s, as there’s rules for those in Reconquest: Phase 2, in the environmental section. I took this as a challenge, as I knew there weren’t […]
Mom moved in about seven years ago. Her stuff has migrated to my gaming / painting area. Not enough room for all my hobbies. So I moved it into the garden. I have created #SHEDTOPIA!

The title of the project is a little misleading. I'm not doing anything here that many gamers haven't done before but I struggled to find any decent tutorials with good links to suitable materials. So this is my guide on […]
