That is a really good looking model, sculpt and paint job both!

Project Hail Mary was hands down one of the best movies I've seen at the cinema in a long time. Too long for my taste but any movie that can get me to put Harry Styles on repeat afterwards, has done something significant to my brain.

God they look really good, another really good looking 'doable' paintjob.

The Rosette nebula in a the narrowband SHO palette. The edges of the nebula are made of red to yellow bands of cloudy duet, with a hollow blue core. A bundle of bright stars is nestled in the center. The image was shot with an asi2600 MM pro using astronomik filters through a 500 mm refractor telescope. Each exposure was 300s and tracked, with approximately 12 hours of combined data.

I photographed the Rosette nebula over the past 3 nights. It was a bit chilly but I'm glad to be back at it, and also glad I got to shoot this before it got too low on the horizon.

Hell yes.

I have chosen less than two weeks before Xmas to decide I'd like a resin Fulgrim from Santa Claus. More fool me.

A post-Pred Badlands palate-cleanser. Quality scifi done with craft rather than a CGI mush fest. I miss that so few movies these days build real sets and fill them with real actors and practical effects/lighting. I do wish they had left off the green text message before the final credits rolled.

Really didn't think much of Predator Badlands. Long sections felt like cutscenes from a video game. Humanising the Predator was a huge mistake imho. Predators should be implacable, dispassionate and utterly alien.

Cut scenes.

Started working on a tiny version of my Gate Crushers series, starting with the flag bearer.

Those epic scale minis are sooooo tiny, a real challenge to paint. Even had to use a magnifier to do my tiniest edge highlights and smallest glazes ever.

Anyway, hope you like that start, more to come ^^

It worked. Following.

One of my greatest wargaming regrets was selling this army. So many conversions and kitbashes throughout it, one being my chapter master for my homebrew Solar Warden chapter. #warhammercommunity

That is really good.

There's some weirdo takes after three episodes, suggesting a lack of plot development or it's too slow. The 2nd-screen viewing of 'TV' these days would have seen the likes of The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul cancelled in one season is they'd had their way. So far I've loved it.

I'm right handed and have somehow ended up with tennis elbow in my left arm. Even gripping a game controller is very painful. I don't even play tennis.

Seriously though, I do sit in a really weird position to paint miniatures resting on my left elbow and a bit contorted... seems the likely culprit.

29yrs ago one of my top 3 favourite records was released, Entroducing by DJ Shadow. Bought the original CD in a weird surgical dressing sleeve, and have 2 vinyl versions and another CD of it too! Never tire of hearing to it and the memories of that time in my life that flood back when I do #djshadow

A group of adventurers take some respite in a ruined pillar with a face carving - a chunk of stone missing is where the mouth should be, creating a little cave. On the side of the pillar hangs their drone companion.

DECREE - Respite
New work, for @phantom-limbs.bsky.social games, DECREE, which looks really cool!

1 of 3 new illustrations - more coming this week!

As a teacher, 100% agree.

Absolutely fine. But nothing better than that. I like the way the Darkfire has been represented. Hate the pea-heads. Poses are very bland and uninteresting. Not a great selection of recent reveals for the Mechanicum in my opinion with the recent fugly Skitarii models. #horusheresy #30k #mechanicum

I have now reached a point in my life where I have reached an appreciation of Morrissey and The Smiths. I have no idea what switch has flipped in my brain allowing this to occur, as I'd spent my previous 48yrs beyond the influence of the Pope of Mope. I have regrets. #thesmiths

That is super duper looking

That virgin comment is one of the most insane things I've read in a long time.

New army underway, been working on Emperors Children for Horus Heresy for a few weeks. Nothing's based yet but here's a dreadnought I finished.

Honestly one of the most boring boxes of models GW has ever released.

Cor blimey I had no idea it went for so much! I've got the full set of books too, minus the one I sold you on X last year?

Bro. I remember marines that looked like this.
