Bricks and a bag of.....

REALLY had it with Blogger. For the past few weeks 2 Indonesian spammers seems to have unleashed some kind of offensive on my Blog. It started with 3-4 a day, and now it's up to 10-15 a day. I keep doing the same thing, report to Blogger as spam, then delete. It's just not fun anymore. Blogger just really does not give a shit anymore, I feel.

Anyhoo, do I go on or not? I have no idea who is still following is, and looking back at older posts it is really depressing to see so many posts worthless as the pictures are gone. But I also used it alot to motivate me hobby wise, so here goes.....

I've grabbed some unfinished foam ruin builds, finished them, and I'm not in the progress of painting them.
 I hope to have it finished by, why the heck not, sunday eveing?


 Did some work to make the Batllescale ruin a bit more to my liking. Thinking of making it a snow ruin now. Or not. Or maybe I do.

Wondering if I want to do a small 20mm project just for me. A equallish team of 30 troops, 1 gun, 3 vehicles for Russians and Germans, 1944. 3 or 4 bits of scenery. 1 Wood. 4x4 table. In the snow.....

Who knows, I might or I might not. Enough for today.

  1. Those ruins are looking great!

    I am working on a small 15mm project, and you can really get a lot out of a platoon plus support. Doing yours in the snow could be a nice change, and a bit of white fleece and some brown paint and you are half way to a play mat...

    1. Bought a used snowmat, should be in the mail any day now. But I really should focus on the basic first before I start doing snowy stuff I think :D

  3. Yeah I had to unsubscribe to a few blogs I fallow do to spammers. To many up dates.
    Now I may not commit as much as I used to. (Trying to not spend as much time online these days)
    But I still enjoy your posts when. I see them. But if the blog is no longer makeing you happy, then there is nothing wrong with takeing a step back from it ether.
    That being said, dig the rubble and I say snow table!

    1. Keeping the Blog on moderated helps, but I have to fish the messages from you lot out from the stinking mess that is spam. We will see where the Blog goes, I'm all over the place atm, and using it for a bit of cous ain't a bad thing :)

  4. Lovely ruins, more Frostgrave terrain (I should get more done for my games).

    I really enjoy your blog, it's been inspirational to me.
    So far I've avoided most of the scammers on my own blog, I suppose it's only a matter of time.p

    1. Yeah, spammers on your Blog seem to be ticking timebomb, you never know when they start showing up. And thanks, I appreciate the comment a lot.

  6. Love the ruins you made. I still follow your blog. At the moment I ain't very active on my own blog but that is because I also ain't very active with the hobby.
    I also had a lot of spammers on my blog. I was so sick of it that I decided to activate word verification in the preference section. This finally helped.

    1. Thanks Hein. I see Blogger had stopped telling me comments have been made, unless it is spam....ugh. The ruins are coming along nicely, I should be able to update the progress soon. With word activation, you mean Captcha?

    2. Same for me I nolonger get any info about any comments.
      Yes Captcha. Even in het Nederlands verder. Ga naar instellingen, dan kies Posts, reacties en delen, zet dan onderaan woordverificatie weergeven op aan.

    3. Dank je Hein, als het goed is moet dat nu werken.

  7. I'm still following too!
    The spammers have become a real nuisance lately, I consider myself lucky I haven't been bombarded (yet) like you but that's only a matter of time. It really puts me off, especially when my mailbox gets a notification for each and every one of these.
    I find myself on MeWe more these days (I don't trust FB) than checking blogs, which is surprisingly relaxing.

    Your new ruins look just as amazing as the rest of your ruins, splendid work!

    1. Thx Wouter. SInce I've set CAPTCHA it has stopped. Eerily quiet now. And yes, really liking the ruins, though I've now burned out on them so I'm finishing up the last pieces ready for paint and then on for something new or old from the drawers to be completed.

      Looking forward to your next project.

  9. Ik volg je ook en heb de feed ervan zelfs doorgezet naar onze amsterdam6shooters website omdat ik vind dat je een van de betere Nederlandse wargamebloggers bent. Ik ben zelf met mijn eigen blogje overigens overgestapt van Blogger naar Wordpress. Gedoe met copypaste, dat wel, maar bevalt me beter dan het schamele Blogger.
