The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
There's so much cool stuff for 28mm wargaming these days, it almost makes me want to start the switch back over. The choice and availability for the scale seems to far outstrip the rest that for most, it's classed as god's own scale!

Even so there are quite a lot of stencils available at the moment, these differ from many… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Wargames Bakery Stencilis
No matter what lately, I haven't been able to focus on all aspects of the hobby (I mean miniature wargaming, not the "GW" hobby!) I think that it's been due to recent illness with my knee trouble, general awfulness and now some weird throat type virus that has fallen upon my kids and myself, but… Continue reading What do you do when you’ve lost your hobby mojo?
Some time ago, you may recall (If your a regular reader that is...) that I showed you a 15mm sci-fi building terrain piece entitled "The Black Dog Salvage company" which I made for games of the free wargame, Salvage Crew. Due to lack of space, I am reluctantly having to let it go. Sure I've… Continue reading For sale: 15mm Black Dog Salvage Co. model terrain up for auction!
