As I’d expected, storage has become a problem. Mr Griffin is printing paint holders to make the paints visible and manageable and due to the sudden influx of paints we’ve added some additional shelving. Doesn’t really take care of the Vallejo textures since they’re in 200ml tubs but we’ll have to figure out what to […]

No painting today. It’s a little less wintery outside today and the Mini Griffs are keen to play outdoors after school. In other news, apparently dry brushing is what my life has been missing. Found some snazzy examples of textured bases on the GW website and they look very cool (perhaps well beyond my ability) […]
Turns out sand will ruin my brushes. Now that I think about it, that should have been obvious.

Today it’s been made clear to me that the bases are meant to be painted as well and for some reason this has made me infinitely sad. I could hazard a guess that the sadness is due to my lack of dedication and my feeling that I was actually close to being finished. In fairness, […]
Painting sounds like a mindfulness exercise, like colouring for adults, but I’m finding it to be a source of constant frustration at the moment. I understand the theory, but it doesn’t seem to translate into any recognisable result. I can draw well enough, and sculpting in 3d? No issues. But paint? No, sir. Not me. […]
Miss Griffin now has some easy to build Stormcast Eternals. She’s settled on an (almost) less out there colour scheme for them and they’re well on their way to being built. Unfortunately, we don’t have any other Age of Sigmar miniatures to play with but I’m sure that will change over time. At this point, […]
Yesterday, we went with playing Dragonwood and assembled some creative commons low-poly models that Mr Griffin had 3d printed. FDM printing certainly doesn’t have the fine detail of resin but it’s keeping us amused and it doesn’t break the bank. Having something with less detail seems to be a good option for days when they’re […]
Weather’s a bit cold for my liking at the moment. Not cold/wet enough to warrant keeping the little ones inside day but certainly windy and chilly enough that I’d rather not venture out myself. Our first set of Gryph-hounds have been declared complete and they are, by anyone’s estimation, pretty good lookin’ fellows. Miss Griffin […]
Glueing is done. Oh boy, is it done. Let’s just say that we made it and no one is glued to anyone else, or any furniture. I’m calling this a win. Paints have arrived but after hour glueing expedition we’re going to play a game instead and wait for the glue to dry and our […]
