Well really its far from the beginning, more of a new beginning.
The intent behind this blog is the return of my interest to the world of model making, converting and painting after a quite considerable hiatus.
Way back in the mists of time when Games workshop was still a fledgling outfit my interest in the hobby was born. And it was the founders of GW that sparked it with a series of books; the Fighting Fantasy.
Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone turned a shy child with limited reading interest or capacity into a voracious consumer of the written word and more more importantly an avid fan of fantasy and adventure.
My like of the modelling side of things developed with games like Hero Quest and Space Crusade where you actually got to move pieces round the board rather than just in your mind or through the pages of the book.
These led to Space Hulk, Blood Bowl and things just grew and grew.
However the cursed thing called life got in the way of what had been a happy symbiosis of child and hobby, studies, university and then work all ate away at my time and interest in painting and modelling and any gaming time I had once had faded to nothing.
Time passed as it does and all of a sudden I find myself a dozen or more years on clearing out old storage spaces and finding these strange and wonderful models, and so it began, again...
