    Might have the exception to the wife rule then! She wants me to put time in the hobby as she enjoys me being happy doing it.. just need to keep the wallet in check with buying too much new stuff and I need not forget to buy her some stuff she wants. She even puts me up hobby'ing on Wednesday evening as a fixed evening just to make sure I keep progressing

    I avoid telling wife of Bob when I have finished a story or cartoon. I just get the "how do you make money out of this" talk again.

    No matter how many times I tell her I've made 3 bucks on my blog, she still isn't satisfied.

    It just occurs to me that my input costs are probably lower than yours. I don't need to buy models all the time. I just run on single malt whiskey.

    So you have a few more likes today! I went back to page one as per a suggestion I got somewhere! I have to say your Stornhorn and Slann are incredibly gorgeous! And the rest of your ogres are brilliant! The blue green saurus look great and I think my favourite was the dwarf/gnome diorama!

    You didn't need to do that but I'm glad you did, I will take better pics of the diorama when I get a chance.

    EVERYTHING IS ON HOLD BECAUSE I GOT A BARGAIN ON EBAY £17

    He is missing the sword but this guy was the model I always could never afford, I'm painting him very much like the picture above.

    Stay tuned!

    Just a quick update,

    Things are going slow as I'm concentrating on terrain and the giant managed to construct the 2 Orruk watch towers and add the rivets still need to add detail etc but thought you might like to see some progress.

    These are really starting to turn out! I always enjoy good terrain! And these would look fantastic on the table!

    Those Orc watchtowers are looking good. Top notch terrain building skills... as always!
