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!
I thought I'd let you know that reluctantly I'm getting rid of this great scratchbuilt piece over on Miniaturebids. I have decided that I'm phasing out any other 28mm stuff (Apart from WFB) so this has to go. At least it'll free up more space to build more 15mm stuff, and carry on with my… Continue reading Scratch built 28mm Zombietown Highstreet up for sale on Miniature bids!

Before I start,… Continue reading Terrain Workshop: Artificial Grass field terrain.
So, I have found something out completely by accident that is excellent for us scratch builders & wargamers, yet the best thing is, it wont cost you a penny! A while ago, my missus and I were talking about turfing a few patches of bare earth in our garden and discussing options. Rather than shelling… Continue reading Grim’s Modelling Tips: Fake Grass Freebies!

My kids loved it, as did I and I managed to get myself a few choice bits off my shopping list (more about… Continue reading Grinning Skull Reviews: Triples 2013 photos!
So, I thought I'd also share my latest additions to my scratch built scenery, my post apoc blasted modern ruins. I intended these for use in modern to zombie, post apoc and sci-fi. 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!
If you remember, I showed you lot a pic of the Fanticide Blood tree warband a bit ago, and well, it did inspire me to go out and look at what miniatures of a similar vein are available out there. After hours of searching and looking, I found all sorts of stuff from all sorts… Continue reading That’s Ent-ertainment!! own sculpted Ent for my Entish hordes!!
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.
