​Well, after (if I do say so myself!) achieving a huge amount vs my crazy hobby goals I had set myself last year, I found myself rolling the list over into this year- particularly due to the fact I have shifted my focus this year from completion of figures and vehicles to producing terrain for my "Operation Spring Awakening" Bolt Action event on 27^th & 28^th of September.

So I thought it was time to make myself accountable yet again and show you where I'm at now it is mid-year (Gulp! Time waits for no event organiser!!) interspersed with a couple of pics of works in progress. 

​This is a fantastic building that looks right for a soviet admin building in a village- a centre of influence without being extravagant. 3D print by Rex from Deweycat files.

​So there you have it...less crowd-pleasing pics of sexy finished stuff and more of an accountability post for myself, this one. If anything i hope I have provided moments of amusement for you at someone else's madness!!

Tune in soon to another exciting episode of 'faith and hope; one man gasping for air under his pile of opportunity' , haha. Until then keep your own brushes moving. 

Regards,

Dan
