Welcome to 2026 and Happy New Year.

No mucking about this year as we are straight into the first episode of the year, only 10 days in.

My guest today is Paul Mackay, a name I am sure you will recognise if you read any of the Wargames Magazines, Paul is a regular contributor to those tomes with his painting tutorials, which cover a wide range of scales, periods and styles.

Paul is a lapsed Wargamer so there is a slightly different format to the show. We get to know a bit about the man himself in the first part, before we move onto a deep dive into many different aspects of the painting part of the hobby in part 2. We round off the show with some semi serious top tips.

After the 5 hours of the Xmas Special, this 2 hour 45 episode is officially a Yarkshire Gamer short !

I hope you enjoy the episode and please take time to leave a like, a comment and subscribe to the show wherever you listen to it, it helps it to grow, after all it is free !

I'll be back in 3 weeks time with a new episode.

Regards Ken
