WHAT ARE YOU UP TO IN LOCKDOWN?

[Eric the Shed]

I am extending my shed again and pimping up the games room - you can read all about it on the blog !!

"Tonight Mathew I'm going to be'
Finding out how fast I can build a small. 28mm Fantasy Castle/fortified house.From scrap . On account of a toy lightsaber  being tougher than the telly, and the new one not arriving until tomorrow.

Been doing loads of home improvement so the only wargames stuff has been some terrain.



And markers

I created a dedicated page on my blog to document my Covid 19 lockdown activity - https://nozzawargaming.blogspot.com/p/coronavirus-hobby-activity.html

Work has never been busier, so I'm really grateful for Contrast paints. I know they're not everyone's 'cup of tea', but they really have improved my painting productivity. Working my way through my lead pile and finding figures I had forgotten I had too!

Also, got some 4ground kits finally built too!

1) Online campaigns and wargames you are playing (virtually) with friends.  One-off games face to face with my better half. But we've done a big Hellenistic battle online, and we have an 1880s Sudan campaign starting Sunday.

2) Recommendations for books you are reading or movies you are watching.  Nothing unusual.

3) Terrain you are building.  Just flocking up a few bases.

4) Buildings you are putting together; scratch-built or flatpack.  Niente.

5) Forces you are building.  WWI fleets.

6) Figures you are painting. Reinforcing two Ashigaru armies.

7) Have you recruited any of your family/household as lockdown wargaming partners!?  Wife; but she was a gamer already.

Is your wargames club/group getting up to any virtual/online activity (I know one club who are having a military quiz night!)? Not that I know of.

9) Anything else you think other wargamers might be interested in hearing about.  I wish one company I can think of would deliver the long-promissed order!

Probably too late for the party but post anyway.
Decided to see what I could make with what I already own rather than buying new stuff during lockdown. I know crazy huh?

Anyway choose the post apocalyptic era and ended starting work on a set of solo rules for the setting. Play testing, terrain building and scenario writing. Keeping me lovely and busy.
Keep safe

Chimpfoot - lovely the paintwork - especially on the car. Very nice!

Our company was purchased by J&J, I was moved to a new team, been working remotely and trying to come up to speed while homeschooling the kids.  Phew!

Also, managed to paint up about 150 minis in two months, mostly while listening to long, boring, irrelevant meetings via Zoo, Skype, and Hangouts.

Here are a few of the most recent minis.

And a few more.

I've been working on some ultra-moderns from Spectre Miniatures for a campaign I'm putting together based on the video game series Tom Clancy's The Division. The latest expansion added in five new bad guys, and I have replicated them in 28mm scale, working from the artwork from the game, seen in the link below:

In addition, I've also been painting up some Black Tusk PMC to act as a secondary antagonist in the campaign.

Been making YouTube videos on how to play Triumph, since I can't do this at conventions:

Just uploaded recently a video of playing through the Battle of Hattin which was one of the games I had planned to run at Historicon.
