Hi All,

My blog is now screaming ahead with regular posts, some fun, some serious, some quite critical.

A potpourri of gaming related stuff from 1980 to the present day...

Nice blog mate. I would recommend making a little more use of the page with your posts if you can to make it more readable. Also the GW banner at the side is really distracting. The actually contents of the blog is great though, will certainly check back again in the future.

The GW 'banner' stays I'm afraid. That is the first carrier bag I got back in the early 80s when Sheffield store opened :)

If you open in full screen it's not in the way.

None taken. I was hoping you were not offended by my suggestions either. I just found the blog a little hard to read. The banner being on the other side of the screen might help.

I use 2 Liquitex 'Soft Body' acrylics - Burnt Umber and Burnt Sienna - in the plastic bottles as base for most of my horse flesh and the Burnt Umber as a base for African skin. Excellent coverage.

That seems much more readable to me. Obviously dont just take my word for it. Others may find it more readable in other layouts.
