Hi all!

I've just started playing both X-Wing and Star Trek Attack Wing, as a result I've decided to write a blog.

Hoping to show builds and how I plan to use them, then report on how they actually performed.

smallscalescifi.blogspot.co.uk

Hope to get some decent articles up soon!

Cheers!

Congrats (or commiserations) on starting your new blog. It can be an effort, and it can be rewarding too. Hope it keeps you focused and enthused.

Suggestion for future articles, if I may: Photos, more photos, and then, add even more photos. Obviously tricky to snap away during a tournament, but even photos of forces choices and their cards, and those of your opponents (with their permission) add flavour.

Even if none of your miniatures ever get repainted or modified, the ol' adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" is still valid.

Also, when you flag an article on a forum like TMP, try putting a photo or two in the forum post, to attract clicks to the blog.

Lastly, (putting my typographer's hat on here) consider reversing your colour scheme. White text on black is fine for short articles of a paragraph or two, but beyond that, it becomes difficult to read.

Keep up the good work! Looking forward to some Attack Wing stuff.

Cheers Martin!

First few posts will be a little light on the photos unfortunately, the ones I do have are a a bit on the low quality side at the moment but very shortly I'll be getting more organised so it'll look a little better.

Thanks for the advice, hope as it develops people will enjoy it!
