Another beginning..

So I’m back! Things have really been stalled the last few months, we’re in rented accommodation waiting for our house to be built, so the forty or so boxes of hobby stuff are all in storage.

However I have been finding small projects to keep me busy, but I’ve been crap at keeping the website up to date. So let’s change that!

A couple of weeks ago a colleague said “what do you know about heroclix?”. I replied “nothing, is that like heroscape?”. A lot of googling and some ebaying later and today we played our first game. We used a very old starter set (DC HyperTime), using the new rules and some downloaded cards for each of the characters. But it seemed pretty good game play wise, I’m sure we’ll get more from it when we have up to date characters and an understanding of the rule set (both of which are happening).

In the meantime I wanted to try stripping the models. I had a go using my wife’s nail varnish remover, which gave me some success on Bane. Today my pure acetone arrived and wow, big difference, just stripped the paint right off the Joker, Manbat, Batman and Robin. So they’re next for paint.

Bane is now painted and washed ready for some layering, I’m sure he’ll look fine when done but I’m much more looking forward to painting up the cleaner four.

Interesting to see where this goes, a small project really considering I’m not doing scenery or anything, just a few models. We’ll see how long that lasts!
