Trying to get out of the house more...

In an effort to lose about 30Kg... Ive started playing cricket with a local club in Toowoomba. Gets me out of the house 2 nights during the week and then the game on saturday afternoon. Given the fact that my fitness isnt what it used to be, it takes me a lot longer to get over the exercise than it should lol.

So my painting time has been cut into by my recovery time.

So there may not be any posts on here for a while. at least until I get myself back to a point where it doesnt take me 3 days to get over the game.

Be patient... Ill get some pics up as soon as I can.

New plan for painting

I had a party at my place a couple of weeks ago, and as a result I decided to pack away all of my painting and miniatures stuff so that none of it got broken.

So last weekend, when I was deciding what to start painting, I came up with a plan to prioritise what im going to paint. I will be leaving everything packed up and just pulling out one miniature at a time. That way I dont get distracted by all the other projects I have on the go. This may not work for some things, mainly when painting a squad of minis, That way I can maintain the paint scheme and such while working across multiple minis.

Its working well so far. Have been working on a Savage Orc Boar Boy this last week. Its coming along nicely. Ill take some photos this weekend and post them on here.

Finally has the net at home!

Well, Ive finally managed to get the internet hooked up at home. although its only wireless broadband, so its a bit patchy. But nonetheless... This is my first post from my home computer in a long time. :)

Thought I would post some pics that I took on my last trip down to Sydney. Taken from the balcony of my hotel room in Cronulla. I like them. although im sure that they could be a lot better. :) Im slowly filtering through all of the photos that I have and seeing if there is anything else worth posting. so stay tuned

Neglecting the painting...

Ive been neglecting the hobbyist part of my life in the last couple of weeks. I had a party at my place on the weekend and actually packed away all my paints and stuff to avoid anything getting damaged.

I have done a little painting in the last couple of weeks but not as much as I would have liked. This weekend is a long weekend and I will be locking myself in the house and painting... Nothing but painting... So ill have some photos to post next week. Just have to decide what Im going to paint. :)

A very wide ranging audience

I thought I would share something that I am really shocked by. I was having a look at the page stats for this blog the other day and I was shocked to see the varied range of countries that are represented in my page views.

This is just the top 10 countries. More recently there are a couple of views from Ukraine, Belgium and Austria...

A lot of the views have come from google searches for the Games Workshop minis that i paint and post and more recently a lot of searches for drawings. Im chuffed that the quality of my work has bought people in from across the world to have a look.

So thank you to all and I hope to continue painting and posting my works.
