I’ll stop doing Star Wars pics once a new obsession kicks in, but until then… Jyn at the Rebel base on Yavin. Full widescreen and a cropped version. #StarWars #RogueOne

Tweaked it a little and changed brightness and contrast to look more like the real thing. Happy now.

One thing that changed the hobby for me and kinda saved me during a rough time this year was the backdrops books by @handiworkgames.bsky.social. Took so many pictures with them and had lots of fun. Absolutely no AI involved. @badsquiddogames.bsky.social packidge with 3 more inbound! #Nerdlings

Package arrived today! 😃 Thanks a lot @andycruns.bsky.social and @fenrisgames.com and everyone who voted for my tent (The Swamp) in October. No thanks to Brexit for making me pay fees and taxes for it. Boo! 😒 #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

- a bold way to comment on Timmy's art :p

...not gonna prattle on too much 's morning on my own crapola - in amongst the stuff shown yesterday, was also doing more of the already-seen standards - air purifier units, medical model bits n pieces; am in the process of figuring out some trimming jigs for about a thousand plastic flower-parts...

- other main malarkey on the go in the last couple of weeks at work was sorting out a display-plinth for one of these things - a real one, not a model-kit:

...finally seem to have eased up from the herniated disc thing, after losing now most of the two weeks off to being not very mobile; unfortunately means plans of getting much achieved went out the proverbial window, but am mainly glad to be able to just get off the settee without major wincing - >

morning all, or whatever it is wherever you are, and merry whatever-you-may-get-up-to! In early(ish) here with what will no doubt become an annual re-brag about my Discworld model making an appearance in the TV-film-adaptation of Sir Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, only accidentally noticed on-screen>

- indeed, and fine feastings have already begun via the chef chez @fenrisgames.com!

mornin' (etc) all, just nipping in for a very quick how-do and apology for not being about much of late, will try to catch things up a bit in next coupla days once I've got in at the other end, chez @fenrisgames.com and the folks; gotta try and do a quick tidy-up here meanwhile in case the landlord>

...broken by the loss of our Oscar, my brother's best lad and all-round most excellent dog. Crushed for Ian. Heartening to see the huge response from those who've come to know them both on here and elsewhere, thankyou to all.

anyway, gotta dash to get on with that very same work stuff; meanwhile, have a #halloween cat-n-mouse thing, rustled up in zbrush - was hoping to get this and a bunch of other bits up on me redbubble in time for the season but ofc barely got started, blah. Toodlepip for the time being!

- well as expected, work's been even more hectic than usual after getting back from my week off; busy building two sets of window-display backdrops for christmas-shopping-stuff, I'll bung up s'more updates as and when; oh btw that's a *98*-inch telly in the middle of this setup, bloody 'ell...

Uh-oh, mighta started sump'n; first fanoodlins with wire and whatnot in over 2 years I think - anyway, of *course* it's something weird, we'll see what it turns into as it goes along - 2 poses here of whatever-the-heck-it-is, at first fixing of the armature and first form-figuring-out in greenstuff:

More Glorpis project pics, all hail Glorpis! Model from @fenrisgames.com and yes, it weighs 5.5 lbs

no matter how much he practiced, Dan Doppelganger just couldn't get the look of Harriet Hag right. he'd nailed the pose, but there were bits of anatomy he just couldn't get the hang of... two new Paul Muller models (ex of Otherworld) ready to go into the shop any time nowwww

I have a zombie broo duck from @fenrisgames.com

The Rubble City walls are amazing! They look great and are really fun to paint too.

next in today's demoulds: coffins. you can never have too many of them...which reminds me, I need to finish a second, all different set...

no argument here

Couple of optional hands, WIP for the dwarf hero I teased last month. Hopefully in the release queue summer-ish.

Another wee palatte cleanser in the form of Roykius Chunca from @fenrisgames.com Sculpted by the inimitable Kev White, Roykius is out to ensure that someone has a bad day, and he'd definitely prefer it wasn't him. #PaintingMinis #MiniWargaming #RubbleCityAdventurers #28mmMiniatures #FenrisGames

Throwback to me having no idea how saddles work :)

A little reprise for Fossil Friday from my beloved National Museum wales as this incredible 3D printed mammoth occupies the space at the entrance!

this Frank-Nitti-from-the-Untouchables-Movie-lookin' dude right here...

always interesting to watch and wonder what folks are gonna turn things into...

I'd say that's a wrap on Quercus from @monstergirltrish.bsky.social. I've really enjoyed this little project. Dragon waking bunny from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, of course! #nerdlings #dragon #harrowhyrst

- and in spite of everything I've just blathered on about regarding the state of the place, do have a view; still got a few of these to catch up on for me, but meanwhile, for thee:

most of yesterday's intentions somewhat scuppered by much in the way of napping, somehow still knackered today nonetheless... and today's early-on intention of sorting out me train-ticket rendered rubbish by the failure in bank-websites etc, had a brief panic that I'd had me account hacked and >

One of my chief cheerleaders, thanks Andy! Also, some beaut brushwork by @rookandraven.bsky.social :)

I have a cold for the first time in a decade, so of course I’m being a complete wimp. Not felt like painting so I thought I’d prep the next few models. My first undead and a saucy humoured broo, by @fenrisgames.com and a Badside street urchin.Time to make a few more adventurer types and bad guys.

welp, just had my first little nod-off so I think I'll call that it for the mo, maybe some more malarkey in the morning, toodlepip for the time being...

- anyway, been busy - not only another set of medical-model bodyparts-things undergone, but also two more sets of the air-purifier things (well, second of those sets currently underway, that is)...

Jumpinjiminy, it's been another one o' them whiles since last I lurched into view round here, so, many how-do's and hopes that everyone's doing alright. Got some actual proper time off as of about now, and have pre-empted against being asked if I can 'just pop back in for an hour/morning/day' by >

Hyukyukyuk!

Philth. :p

My version. It’s minis like this that have cemented my love for @snuurg.bsky.social as a sculptor. I think they are lovely models to paint.

Hey it's all the minis we've cast and painted from the KS campaign so far! Backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social available in this project, terrain scratch built by @berlintuesday.bsky.social , minis by us - sculpted by Alan Marsh, shown painted by John Morris and @berlintuesday.bsky.social

Ok you need these ladies in your life - during WW2 they risked (and many lost) their lives fighting fascism. Their stories are incredible, and it's been an honour to research them and make 28mm versions of them. You can collect, paint and/or play with them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

I made a video showing off all the backdrops from the new @handiworkgames.bsky.social you can tell I am not a video person by day. But you can see how cool they look so job done! www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3gT...
