There have been plenty of items of scenery I've built that I've been very unhappy with. In fact, I made some walls recently in a hurry for some gaming. Never was happy with them. Put them in the bin today. I know where I went wrong, so I can do better next time. To quote Edison, "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."Stiùbharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499451142285889917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937917480632719714.post-51144706645185002852020-05-02T19:10:26.460+01:002020-05-02T19:10:26.460+01:00Thank you for your encouragement Khusru!Thank you for your encouragement Khusru!Stiùbharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499451142285889917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937917480632719714.post-87011409587000528852020-05-02T13:08:58.528+01:002020-05-02T13:08:58.528+01:00I would also admit that I never tried making my ow...I would also admit that I never tried making my own terrain until last year. Which is why my terrain choices are limited.<br />It was simple card Mesopotamian walled city (probably an exaggeration!). I actually felt good about it. It isn't Tony Horwood or your calibre, much like my painting compared to Kevin Dallimore's. But it's the best I can do for now.Khusruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512587253133355625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937917480632719714.post-22862459352599696192020-05-02T12:46:12.163+01:002020-05-02T12:46:12.163+01:00I felt embarrassment for many years with my effort...I felt embarrassment for many years with my efforts at painting. The comparisons with others frustrated me. I've improved but not by a great margin. I am happier though.<br />And my lead pile is almost nil after 2 years of dedicated painting, good and not so good.<br />Keep trying.Khusruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512587253133355625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937917480632719714.post-55571436667684401262020-05-01T20:29:51.475+01:002020-05-01T20:29:51.475+01:00SESWC are clearly a bunch of gamers I would have d...SESWC are clearly a bunch of gamers I would have dearly liked to have met in my teenage years. It'll explain why I was so delighted to make it to Deep Fried Lard though!

The ones I fell in with were most welcoming to my 13 year old self and I became the 15th member of the newly formed South East Scotland Wargames Club. I've had a few breaks in periods when I was living away from Edinburgh, but I'm still there. dmchodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519028870804563531noreply@blogger.com
