Quiet Spot

Hi folks!

Well it's been one of those weeks where I've posted absolutely nothing. Several reasons for this.

The first is that I'm not really into 40k much any more. Fear not, my IG, Sallies and 'nids hold too much sentimental value to be sold off or forgotten about, but my passion for the game itself has pretty much died out. I hope to find a good enough set of rules for them to hit the tables again someday.

The second is probably my lack of money. I currently live off a student loan... at least for one more year (after which I hopefully start raking in a five figure salary). Of course, that only comes in during term-time, and I then coast through the summer. I do currently have a bit of free cash, but at the moment I'm saving it for the Claymore wargames show in Edinburgh next month (gimme a shout if you're going!)

Third. My folks went down to Devon again this year, and having felt that I'd done all there was to do last year, I decided to stay home and look after the place. Along with the additional (brief) responsibilities of keeping a (relatively empty) house running, I was also deprived of the digital camera. I did actually do a couple of hobby-related things, but had no means of showing them!

And fourth, other projects. The first is the scenario pack for Urban War. I've been tasked with making my fan-made scenario pack a little more official, which includes testing and tidying up a few scenarios the guys at Urban Mammoth were working on. All my recent gaming time was devoted to that cause, and I've still a lot to do.
I've also started doing a little programming. Because I only have a year left until I'm thrown into the big bad world of the computer games industry, I need a good portfolio of programs to show off my abilities. The summer is the only time I really have to pad it out a bit.

Anyway, now that the family have returned, I hope to update you all with my recent exploits this week. I have almost finished a Babylon 5 scratchbuild (my first), the No Go Zone minis I mentioned in my last post are going to be shipped on Monday, and then tere's my latest commission piece as well.

Take care!
