Having trouble viewing the flipbook collection? View and download it instead! The amount of hobby content that’s been published in the pages of Wargames Illustrated over the years is, frankly, staggering. In my search for articles, I picked out enough to fill PDFs many times over (hence this being part one in a series of Painting and Modelling Collections) and have done much head-scratching about what to show and where. Ultimately, I opted for a mix of authors and themes - a veritable smorgasbord of hobby delights for you to feast on. This Collection features frequent Wi contributors such as Dave Taylor, James Morris, and Mike Peters, alongside painting legends like the venerable Kev Dallimore, one-off contributors with something cool to share, and (do your best to restrain your excitement), the first hobby article that I wrote for Wargames Illustrated. What’s the same throughout these pieces is the passion for painting, modelling, converting, and building that’s on display. Even if the figures aren’t for your period the techniques are transferable. I hope this, and the subsequent hobby Collections, will be an inspiring reference whenever you need a shove in the right direction before starting your next project. Until next time, may all your airbrushes be clean, and your Nuln Oils upright!
