Painting some giant tools

Here you go NeilH, a little custom painting

This is the clearest indication yet that infantry wish they were cavalry

A whole year of record breaking ocean temperatures.

This warmth has significant effects on ocean ecosystems. A large fraction of the world’s human population rely on protein from the ocean to live. Disruption to life in the ocean does affect us all.

Oooh, a new 1/35 Challenger from Vespid, ace!

There’s something satisfying about meticulously misaligned stencils

Fair play, Mr Mayor. Sadiq Khan

Colours toned down, hopefully just enough contrast to show through weathering etc

It’s ’trust the process’ time

Brutal but not unfair

This took a lot of paint!

Pretty much done with the construction of the M5. I was worried that the build would take ages and I’d loose interest but frankly it’s been a breeze. Now I need to paint and weather the turret interior before I can make a start on the outside

Spectacular!

I left early this morning and cast my vote. As a reward I picked up a bacon sandwich on my way home. It was dry, flavourless, over cooked and generally disappointing, which seems appropriate.

That’s most of the turret interior sorted. I 3D printed the radio to save time, I’m torn over whether to open the hatches but I’ll probably paint it up. I also printed some boots for the figures I plan on sculpting and modelled some tiny belt buckles which printed out ok.

Plugging away at the Stuart, it’s a lovely kit and I feel like I’ve made pretty fast progress. I’m also putting together a base for a figure.

One thing I’m finding interesting about this case is how much of it is clearly immoral and probably illegal and yet it isn’t going to be what trump gets in trouble for.

Yesterday my 5 year old son referred to something being 'as heavy as a Challenger 3 tank. I've never been so proud.

Obscure glass, potted plants, garden chairs and crazy paving
