For those that don\’t already know. A lot of my hobby updates and even tutorials have moved to Instagram over the last few years for the simplicity, immediacy and wonderful community that exists there. (You can find me at http://www.ragados.com/raggypaints ). At the tail end of last year Ben aka @playtime_paints suggested doing a replica…

Well it\’s been quite the year for all of us. For myself we\’ve been trying to get ourselves set up in our future home, trying to get a job and trying to stay healthy. But through all that, I have painted more minis than ever before, even painting up some other models for Charity and…

This big ball of dirt has rocketed around the fire orb once more and it\’s time for another Thanksgiving post.  For those of you that are new to my blog, this is something I do every year and have done since I first moved to America. For those of you that aren\’t – skip this…

As a last minute addition to the NOVA Open Charity Raffle – I volunteered to paint up an Aeronautica Imperialis starter box. If you\’d like to by a raffle ticket they can be found here: https://www.novaopenfoundation.org/product-page/aeronautica-imperialis-gw (That\’s right – this whole box could be yours for $8.00!!! and you get to help out a great cause, what…

Exactly one year ago today, I posted my most successful blog post today; an initial review of Contrast Paints at the time of writing, it has something like ten times as many views as my next most popular post.
