  1. Calling these three done. A Blood Angels Librarian from Space Hulk, Bob the Berzerker (Blood Claw based on a favourite mini I had in second edition) and a lineman in a weird colour scheme I wanted to try based on the Hoonigan Brataroo car.

  2. Made some progress on my custom Wolf Lord kitbash last night. Quite pleased with the face.

  4. In totally-not-avoiding-awkward-details stage for the Howling Griffons, I've also picked back up my custom wolf lord kitbash and put some base colours down, along with the pink under-layers for the yellow pauldrons.

  6. Bob will live again!

    One of my oldest miniatures: given the heroic name ‘Bob the Berserker’ in a large-scale game in the Metrocentre Games Workshop one day in the 90s after single-handedly destroying a whole enemy unit.

    I recently decided to try recreating him with the new Blood Claws and a jump pack I got from Etsy. Just put it together this evening and I’m pretty happy with the evolution.

    Now to paint it… 😬

  8. Thanks to the kids being on Easter holidays, I’ve made no hobby progress in the past 10 days or so, but I’ve just written up a couple of posts on previous progress for April: my six painted Gladitorium Primes and progress on my Yndrasta kitbash:

  10. Rather than _just_ whinging on here, I’ll talk about something creative.

    I’m working on another kitbash modelling project. It’s got all the details done, with the next steps being refinement and so so much sanding.

  11. With big thanks to kind advice from @dmcgk
    @NinjaDebugger
    @erikcats I ran a wash of Iyanden Yellow over the whole armour which has it looking better already.

    No time tonight for more than that, but I'm feeling more positive now and ready to block in higher contrast highlights (hopefully tomorrow) and make some more progress.

  13. As somewhat expected, I hit the wall of it looking like I've totally messed the effect up last night.

    Not sure whether to push on in the hope/belief it'll all come together in the end, or start again.

    Leaning towards starting fresh...

  15. Getting to the scary bit now: adding highlights for the NMM effect.

    Who knows how this is gonna turn out! I’ve chosen such a complex model for a first attempt, but I’ve gone far enough that I’ll give it a good go.

  17. Using a custom kitbash Yndrasta is the best place to try NMM for the first time, right?

    Right?

  19. I had the silly/perhaps unoriginal idea of trying to recreate the Yndrasta pose from the Dominion rule book cover art.

    I’m not going to get anywhere close to a replica but I’m pretty pleased with this so far as an inspired-by pose.

    Still not sure whether to keep her attached to the tree her cape is molded to, or to cut it out and build a totally new scene. I also need to choose something(s) for her to be attacking.

  20. Today the LED lights for lighting up the inside of the buildings on my model railway were delivered, meaning I can finally start building some of them! First up is the main station - a ticket office and a parcel depot (Metcalfe kits) on a 1500mm long platform.

    Pics to follow.

  22. The weekend project. I wanted to experiment with using 3D printed parts on Gunpla. For this I modded a EG Gundam into a Gundam Ground type. Instead of making accurate measurements, I just printed out some parts and slapped them on using putty so I could adjust the angle. It's slightly crooked, but I dont think it'll be noticeable once it's in the final pose and diorama.

    The backpack comes from a 30MM accessory pack and the 180mm cannon is also a 3D print.

  23. My custom kitbashed Stormcast Eternals team got their first runout last night in a quick Sevens game with my son.

  24. OK, I think I have a contender.

    Dracoline-as-ogre proxy kitbash went well tonight. Yes, it’s enormous.

  25. No, *you've* written far too many words over-thinking which model could work best as an ogre proxy for a Stormcast Eternals Blood Bowl team.

    *ahem*

  26. My submission for the Gunpla Builders World Cup (GBWC) 2025. I kitbashed this out of a single HG Petitguy, a 1/35 figure head and a lot of putty.

    I used some leftover Maschienen Krieger decals since the designs are inspired by that aesthetic.

    It looked terribly out of place between the more traditional Gundam entries.

  27. The lint trap and screen on an LG dryer. Stray lint, sand and other debris end up packing down into the bottom of the lint trap, beneath the screen, and keep it from properly seating. Then the top corners protrude, and snag strings and laces on clothes.

    The extension nozzle on a hand vacuum won't go in. You can't get the right angle, it's too wide, and it's not long enough to reach to the bottom anyway.

    TA-DA!!! An AARDVARK NOZZLE made from $10 worth of plumbing parts easily reaches all the way down to the bottom of the filter slot.

    (
    Please ignore the mess and clutter next to the dryer. It's just something I have to endure.)

  29. Zonet mijn kitbashed versie van #Faller 131365 Seinhuis afgemaakt. Schaal #H0 1:87. Nu is het een echt seinhuis geworden.
    Ik heb foto's van de fabrieksversie ter referentie bijgevoegd.

    Just finished my kitbashed version of #Faller 131365 Signal box. #H0 scale 1:87. Now it's a real signal box.
    I have added pictures of the factory version as reference.

  30. Nieuw op mijn #Modelspoorbaan: een achtergrondgebouw op #h0-schaal. Ik wilde een saai bouwwerk. Gebaseerd op een goedkoop pakket uit China en geen duur fancy #Bouwpakket uit Duitsland. #Modelbouw voor de helft van de prijs.

    Newly on my #Modelrailway: a half-relief background building in H0 scale. I wanted a dull building. Based upon a cheap kit from China instead of an expensive fancy #Kit from Germany. #Kitbashing for half the price.
