You enriched my hobby and my blogging time no end throughout 2016, Raising the bar of personal satisfaction to a new level, and complete immersion became very much my key drive - often very much inspired by your own work within the hobby. I don`t always write a lot on blogs or comment on other people`s blogging articles and threads, but rest assured I see/read most of it. I tend to `do` a lot more and write a lot less. So I`m usually modelling, playing games and being game host to my own gang of guys and girls, yet I tend to spend a lot less time on the computer, for better of for worse. If I could do both I would, but I really don't multi task the division of labour well enough to do both properly lol.<br /><br />Really enjoyable end of the year post Andy. Good luck and happy endeavours for 2017.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you, Mrs Gobbo and Gobbo kid`lettes.Hilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786352646244095934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-26865149478068560242017-01-01T10:56:07.409+00:002017-01-01T10:56:07.409+00:00*stands up and starts to clap.. slowly, loudly, bu...*stands up and starts to clap.. slowly, loudly, building in speed and intensity, as more and more people join the open display of appreciation*<br /><br /> What a great post and celebration of your year. I have to quote one comment<br /><br /> {{You came very close to persuading me to try out Bushido..... All that stops me from diving into it is that I have so many other projects on the go}} <br /><br />This is exactly how it was for me as well. And I know this applies to at least one other I personally know as well. It took actual strength NOT to take up Bushido on more than a few occasions after reading your infectiously enthusiastic posts about the subject.<br /><br />The rest, wow. You are a true gamer, modeller, and enthusiast of the hobby: and cover so many diverse projects. With your heavy work load, just HOW you find time for it all is astonishing, But also very cool<br /><br />Happy New Year Andy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-60223580232999173192016-12-31T22:59:27.685+00:002016-12-31T22:59:27.685+00:00Sorry Jez, I actually did mean to cut back on my p...Sorry Jez, I actually did mean to cut back on my posting last year but got so carried away I couldn't help it! <br />I've struggled to comment on your blog the last few weeks as Wordpress hates my iPad but rest assured I've been dropping by.<br />Hope you had a great Xmas and have a cracking new year!Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-71233069571569118902016-12-31T20:28:27.357+00:002016-12-31T20:28:27.357+00:00To be honest, Andy, I'd actually forgotten som...To be honest, Andy, I'd actually forgotten some of the things you'd done over the year - mainly because you've produced so much! It has been a pleasure reading your blog and whilst I've yet to be bitten by the Bushido bug, I shall be shamelessly stealing several of your ideas for upcoming terrain for my own games.<br />I'm glad you had a bit of a break over Christmas, got a ridiculously large haul of goodies and had some time with your family.

Well done! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts, especially the narrative ones. Seems be both succumb to the creative writing impulse from time to time. Your miniature painting and scenery projects are accomplished and have been an inspiration. I’ll chuck in another well done! Our hobby interests more often than not coincide and where they don't it just presses my curiosity button. Bushido being an example. I'm sorely tempted, and it’s played at my local club. I hope to get a game at some point and I know where to turn to for tips and advice if I invest. <br /><br />But for now, my best wishes to you and family for the New Year.
