Like the proverbial late night radio DJ, I must ask; is anyone out there, is anyone tuning in?

 

So, I have been blogging for a few years now, and I enjoy recording what I have done hobby wise and also show off what games the group has played. My issue is the general lack of feedback from anyone who has visited this site, or any of the other blogs in the collection. A few people have left comments and I am very thankful for it, but I sometimes wonder why more people do not comment on stuff, good or bad, or even just tick the box at the end of each post. At just shy of 24K visits, I would think I might have seen more than 144 comments. That works out to .006% of visitors have commented or .0072 if we ignore my friendly Russian bots. That is still a lot of visits without comments. Why?

Now I am not saying that I need these comments in order to feel fulfilled, or to gain some ego boost, but it might be nice to hear from other hobbyists from time to time. The only new person that I have communicated with in quite some time was Mr Maddox, again, thank you. 

So, the question is why is the communication so one way, why no exchange of ideas? I will continue to post, whether people like it or not, but, especially now with C-19, it would be nice to hear some feedback, suggestions, even criticism, basically something. Perhaps even suggestions of what you would like to see posted, or hold me to my published plans and ask why I have not finished off what I said I was working on!

Maybe there is a technical reason. Perhaps the site does not allow comments, or there is a problem to do so. If that is the case, please leave me a comment to let me know... 

Thank you

End of rambling for now

Current major project underway, 1989 (mostly) GW Imperial guard troops

 

So after 30 years I figured it was about time to paint up these troops! First up for many of them I had to 'arm' them, literally, and give those arms weapons. Then re-basing was desperately needed, getting them off these oversized washers and on to smaller washers.

Recent painting of GW 40K stuff, has, sadley, got me thinking about Epic...and that is a path to madness

 Well, hello old friend...

Priming day! 101 vehicles, 12 motorcycles, 20 assorted artillery/mortars/carts now all ready to paint

 With the temperature hovering around 0 C I decided to crank up the portable heater in the garage and prime up my early war 20mm WWII vehicles. It was quite the chore, taking maybe 2-2.5 hours with many trips up and down the basement stairs. Nothing like racing up the stairs, then inhaling that delightful toxic air the hovered in the garage. But was worth it, for now all my French, British and German vehicles are ready should a sudden inspiration grab a hold of me. It does occur to me that I will perhaps now need to acquire some early war British if I am to use their vehicles.

I was also able to prime up some more GW 40K scenery, mostly trenches, craters and storage boxes. That should conclude any 40K scenery, although I just realized that I have forgotten to spray up the rhino...
