Family games this weekend as we were watching the football last night.

King of Tokyo cooperative game. Team won!

A few games of ticket to ride , go nuts for donuts and Azul.

Wargamesdiary is now posting to facebook and instagram.

Perhaps the days of the Blog are over with people preferring videos and shorts. However facebook and Instagram are good for still images.

Testing social media links

We played several games of donuts . Ticket to ride junior which I think is too easy now for Link . A game of dice forge recently too.

We played a Coin game about the end of British rule in Palestine on Saturday which was quite fun. Phil and Mikes freedom fighters drove off the British. It seems of course very hard for the British government which makes sense . Not sure what Bruce and Darryl could have done better !

Some pictures of my latest 3d printed terrain. Some of it is finished and some at the varnished awaiting final details phase. I think the dwarf building needs the tiles to be more blue just to differentiate from the grey and I might add some more bronze to give it that dwarf building look to match my other pieces for example.

Also one of war games diary subscribers who often posts or likes got a name check on atmoseekers you tube video at the weekend! Small world and how exciting. I know someone famous now. Virtually!

3d printing has taken over all of my hobby time . What with actual printing FDM or resin . Fixing and maintaining said printers . The resin printer is very tricky and messy but produces great figures when it feels like working.

Then whatever is printed needs to be painted and based !

Last week I printed a plinth for a statue and a marder 3 tank . Before that I printed and painted up quite a few Germans do we could play the chain of command scenarios in the campaign book . So I painted up several machine guns and crews plus a squad of volksgrenadiers as well as some snipers , officers, a medic and assorted tokens for the patrol phase .

Also some buildings for fantasy gaming such as an orcish slaughterhouse a dwarven building and grand entrance way .

The big issue is getting to be where to store this stuff. I have loads of great buildings and figures that I would like to print but especially with the buildings am holding back because I have no space to keep them safe . I have lots of orcish and Rohan style files that I could print but would need to learn how to cut neatly do as to fit on my plate . Also World War Two buildings .

Obviously these are great none problems to have of course !
