Burnout. It’s not just a series of video games about drag racing cars around the streets! If you have read any of my handful of posts that I have uploaded to this blog, I think I mention burnout in every single one of them, either experiencing it or trying to actively avoid it, so as… More How to Avoid Hobby Burnout
Happy New Year! Well it’s been a busy year for everyone, and sadly not wholly busy with hobby, but there’s been plenty of progress and plenty of good stuff. Rob After a having less hobby time than usual over the past few months, I didn’t think this year would have had as much progress as… More Brush and Boltgun 2018 Round Up
So here’s to another Hobby Guilt post. It’s nearly Christmas, the goose is getting fat and we still have a tonne of unpainted models! It’s Adam and Dave up again to attempt to show some progress towards the targets they set themselves at the start of November. If you want to see where they were… More Hobby Guilt- Post 7

I haven’t gone bounding… More A Newbie’s first step into Bolt Action and US Airborne box review
Why? Why do I need another army? Why, in fact, do I need a whole new game system? On top of that, why do I need to start collecting an entirely different scale models? I am sure these are questions that all gamers ask themselves at some point in their gaming career. In the past,… More 15mm Madness! Starting a Flames of War US Army.
I have been painting quite a lot of World War Two vehicles in the last year, both for my Italian and Russian armies. This was before I joined the guys at B&B so I hadn’t done any tutorials, nor did I think I would as tanks are limited to one per army in this system.… More How To: Whitewash Vehicles
In the simplest of games, it is accepted that players take turns. It is drummed into us from an early age. As we grow up and start playing board games, everyone still gets their turn, one after the other. Monopoly is a good example. In the majority of wargames, this holds true too. As gamers, we… More “I go, you go… we go?” The ‘Turn’ in Different Gaming Systems
