A game I probably shouldn’t have ordered, given its complexity and time to play. But apparently I did last year!

Academic job offer from an old friend. £12,000 tax free basic salary - per month, £4000 pm for housing and multiple other benefits. The unsurmountable [for me] catch - its in Saudi Arabia. I make that equivalent to about £268,000pa inc UK tax for the basic income.

My German woman has reorganised the fridge. I can't find anything now...Usual mix of fear and respect.

Friday night hobby time. Last 8 in the set of Voidfighters. Sixty ships now ready, and 471 figures for the year. And for the second yer running I’ll do 500 or more 28mm equivalent figures. Remarkable by my historical standards.

So I felt it was time to do some more fantasy scenery. I keep getting distracted by other ideas, but I finally got this finished off.
This is my attempt to make a high elf temple in the style of the 90s studio scenery.

I've just seen that Ukiepedia is back live again - a massive wiki-style archive of all kinds of games industry facts, figures, resources and links, that I built during my time there.
It was basically my outsourced brain/memory, so go and have a rummage 😆
