Life... and lots of things...

Hi gang.

First I'd like to apologize for my absence, it's been a long while since I wrote anything. This is because my personal life is going through some changes, and therefore my hobby time has been quite limited. When I have had some spare time I have used it for hobbying and to a some extent gaming, not writing on the blog.  Here, have a kitten as compensation.

Anyhoo, I'm still buying stuff in hope of better times to come. Here's what I have been up to, in no particular order.

Weekend Report; X-wing, Renedra News and Give-away!

I didn't get any hobbywork done during the weekend, but I managed to get some gaming in. Namely X-wing together with the local club Starfighters on sunday. It was a nice afternoon spent together with other Star Wars geeks. Also double nice as my youngest decided to come along.

Me and the Padawan trying to come up with a clever strategy.

We played as a team fielding the forces of Order (Empire) against the vile terrorists outlaws (Rebels) fielding Boba Fett, a Lambda Class shuttle and some protection in the form of a lonely TIE Fighter to provide cover and colourful explosions. Which he did by getting in the way of my shuttle, getting ionized by the revolting rebels and then blown to bits. In the end the Empire prevailed though, order was restored to the galaxy and everybody had fun, which is the important bit.

Renedra Medieval Cottage review

As promised earlier, here are my thoughts of the Medieval Cottage from Renedra.

18 pounds RRP, but can be found for less if you shop around.

Renedra Ramshackle Barn review

G'day folks! A quickie here, it's Renedra's Ramshackle Barn. Today I'm trying out a Time-lapse software for my phone, so without further ado here's a video of me assembling it. 

Like their Dark Age cottage (which I will review shortly) this comes on three sprues of grey plastic. Read more after the break.

The other side of the fence

I guess everybody has noticed I'm a big fan of Renedra's wargames accessories. I use their different sized bases for most stuff nowadays, from 6mm tanks to 28mm figures. I also like their scenic range and earlier I reviewed their wattle fences which I liked very much. This time I'm taking a closer look at their Wargaming Fences designed by Tim Adcock.
