Added contours to the harbour on the weekend (the points need to be the correct height for the bridge model) and have painted them green with acryllc paint.  Used PVA based paper mache to smooth out some of the curves - I'm not keen yet on using putty or anything hard on the land masses because of the non-hard nature of polystyrene foam.  I'm ( Read more... )

In bed last night, after copying over a Pak file for Quake 1 onto my Caanoo, Kath pointed out she remembered when someone had a PC that wasn't good enough to play Doom on - and here I was playing Quake on a handheld device the size of the Gameboy Advance.  There was also a bit of technshock for the iPad2 - when you look at this thin little thing ( Read more... )

Just trying to remember all my "recent" roleplaying games I've played and campaigns I've been in.  I've been going by dates of the most recent emails I've found on the games, so there may need to be some corrections.  Sadly it's looking like an average of 2 games per year at most ( Read more... )

I've decided to finish off an entire faction rather than the piecemeal across the range painting I've been doing so far for Dystopian Wars.  I'm going to do the Kingdom of Britannia first as that's the one that was most complete (I spent a weekend on them prior to a battle as another player was using them).  I just spent part of the last weekend ( Read more... )

Using the new pistons, this creator has made a pianola - it has a rotating rectangle of glass/wool to play the correct music notes.
