Planet Wargaming

I’ve been neglecting updating this blog lately. It is mostly because I have been busy on a variety of other websites.

As I use computers all day in the “real world”, I try to avoid spending too much time in front of one updating websites once I get home.

The major update I have been working on is for the Black Hat Miniatures website where I have added an online shop using Cube Cart. This has come about because I decided to sell my own figures directly rather than through Fighting15s as the range was now large enough to stand on its own.

Fighting15s and Ian have done a very good job selling the figures since I started Black Hat back in 2004, but the plan was always to eventually sell the figures directly once I had the time and the ranges to warrant it. Ian and I are still doing shows together and will next be at Valhalla in Farnborough on the 18th June.

The other web work has been overhauling the Guildford Wargames website into a format that other members of the club can easily update as I no longer have the time to maintain and update the site by myself.

Apart from that, we attended Salute and had a very good show. It was very well run - can’t comment on the show from a punter’s point of view as I didn’t get any chance to wander around after it opened, but as a trader I thought it was excellent.

My painting has slowed down a little, but I am working on some pilgrims at the moment (Perry Miniatures and Black Tree Designs) for the Doryleaum SOA battle day that our club is running 3 games at.
