Hobbies

Away from the workbench.

The things I do when I’m not building something. This page is still being written.

Miniature painting

Dragons, orks and the odd yeti, painted at the bench between builds. The slowest hobby I have and the only one where the whole point is that it cannot be rushed.

Miniature painting

The creative hobby.

Five years of dragons, orks and various other models, painted at the same bench everything else gets built on. This hobby originated from the time I ran a D&D campaign - it's now grown into it's own thing largely focussed around Warhammer.
