Welcome to my channel. A journal of my hobby that also serves as my art therapy. As a lifelong hobbyist, proud gaming nerd and author, I’ve recently found myself advocating for better mental health awareness. Living with Complex PTSD, Atypical Depression, Chronic Stress and Severe Anxiety, I am an incidental miniature sculptor, figure painter and original founder of theBattleforge Miniatures. I am also a former Games Workshop retail employee who went on to become author of two Crowood Wargaming Guides. You can find more information on my modelling and painting books via the following links. www.crowood.com/book/modelling-and-painting-fantas… www.crowood.com/book/modelling-and-painting-scienc… Although this channel was originally conceived as an extension of my two books, it is now a non-commercial hobby diary promoting mental health positivity and wellness as I aim to make the hobby more accessible to all.
