Obsession by Airfix?

I have had this obsession to acquire and paint up a set of Airfix WW2 1/32 scale figures since seeing a painted set on the interwebs years ago.

This began a multi-year challenge as I soon realized that these were out of print figures. I searched many websites and Amazon to see if I could buy a set or two. I even reached out to the manufacturer, Airfix – thru its US counterpart Horby Hobbies. No luck…until…

Around late 2021, I discovered that these 1/32 figure sets were on “Pre-order” on the Airfix website. I guess there was enough interest to fire up the old molds and print out some re-issue “original, not some foreign made knock-off” of these figures.

I soon got myself on the website’s notification list and waited. And waited. And waited some more, until around early 2022 when behold I received an email stating these were now in stock in the US, ready for shipping. I bit the bullet and purchased a set of each of the ones they had available – 5 different sets in all. Each retailing for $15.99. Pricey for little “army men” that I was used to paying $0.01 each growing up. I had to have the originals.

After they arrived on my doorstep, I opened the box and straight to my pile of shame they’ve sat until October of 2022. I got off my butt and plan to paint and based each of the sets. I will be showcasing them here as well as on my other socials (IG and YouTube) – I haven’t posted a YT video in so long on my other channel. See the PROJECTS page for more details.

The second post is just as difficult

It has been well over a year since starting this site. It is nearing the end of 2022. We are at the (hopefully) tail end of the COVID19 pandemic and I feel like folks are returning to a sense of “new normalcy”. The anxiety still lingers in me, but I hope to channel this energy into generating content for this website as well as my other social media platforms that I am on. Check them out if you have a chance – YouTube and Instagram.

Also, I joined the affiliate world to try my hand at earning some passive income. If you see some links on this website (or my other socials), note I may get a commission that I plan to invest back into this endeavor. Clicking on these affiliate links is absolutely FREE to you, but know by using these links and purchasing items, you will not only find products I find useful, but you will also be supporting A Little Bit of Glue to grow.

Thank you.

Time to create and post some content for your edutainment.

There is always a beginning…

There came a time in my life where I asked myself, “Why?”. I heard myself reply with, “Why not.”.

Welcome friends to the first blog post for my little corner of the interwebs. My goals for this website are to simply entertain and inform. I will do this by showcasing my many crafts and hobbies, starting with my interest in miniature WW2 tabletop wargaming. I will approach every project with providing the best results for a minimum budget. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t. Join me on this adventure to find out.

Don’t forget, all you need is A Little Bit of Glue.
