May 2010

After a long period of hard work and no hobby what so ever I found the time to seriously pick up the hobby where I left off in 2007. Expect some major updates soon since I am working almost every day on new projects.To keep track of my progress you can check out my "Hobby Journal" (see link above).

I still sell the items that are located on this page "here".. with the new stuff comming up I will start making a page with individuall items that are for sale soon.

Work in Progress

Some of the projects I’m working on can be found on this page. Beware that I’m always working on more than one project at the time so this will be a quite diverse topic on my site. Suggestions are always welcome.

The Events page shows you some of the conventions I have been to and will give you some idea on what this hobby is all about. Designing, building, and painting stuff is one thing. Playing games with them is another thing.

Miniatures

Collecting miniatures for over more the 20 years now, end up in having over more than 2000 unpainted miniatures. I still hope to paint most of them. Some of these finished miniatures can be found here. I hope to alter these pages often while this means that I have finished another miniature.

Hirst Arts Studies

small door

The "Hirst Arts Studies" is dedicated to the wonderfull building blocks provided by Hirst Arts Castlemolds. The professional range is expanding constantly, making it more and more challeging to work with this product. On the other hand it is fun to design unique building blocks that you can use within the Castlemold range. The "Hirst Arts Studies" is where I like to show my (twisted) ideas on making custom blocks.
