I try and make stuff that will fit a wide range of use due to real lack of storage, otherwise I would… Continue reading It’s been the ruin of me! Scratch built 15mm modern ruins scenery!
So, I have just recently started to use G+, I wasn't really into it at all to start, but while browsing the groups, I noticed that there wasn't a zombie wargaming group there. With that fact in mind, I started one! Yes I know there are quite a few very nice and already established isolated… Continue reading New Zombie Wargaming Community on G+

Tabletop Towns. by Julian G Hicks — Kickstarter.

Bug Hunt Corridors by Fantasy Arc — Kickstarter. I would sell my grandma for a set of these! Seriously, these are way cool scenics being offered on KS at the moment.

So I thought I would share my latest finished alien plant terrain piece, I regret, I wished had more time to spare between my projects, wargaming, sculpting and real life commitments.

Every time I walk past the HQ model of the Black dog building I made, I get the urge to start expanding the scenery how I had intended to originally.
