The next batch of Hicksy’s Halflings are painted. Available, fingers crossed. Next week from the good people @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social. Gun mastered by Ian Armstrong footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/... #oldworld #halflings #wfb #warhammer #kingsofwar

Might have to do my first diorama. Cracking kits from 50 odd years ago. Feel like a 10 year old boy again.

The Airfix Whitley is well underway. Happy with the results so far. Next job is to build up the wing assembly.

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

Hit a real grief moment today. Dad brought over some photos he found. A picture of an 11 year old me with Mum. I really never remembered Mum looking so young. Coming to up to 50 and feeling that I’ve lost so much time. Miss you Mum.

1/72 Matchbox Siskin mkIIIa No. 32 Sqn 1931 - RAF Kenley. Painted with @vallejocolors metallics and 502 oils from @AKInteractive . The kit went together beautifully. Just the odd bit of detail added like the aerial posts on the wing and some cockpit detail you can’t even see!

While I’m waiting on some replacement decals for the Matchbox Siskin. I’ve started on a AW Whitley from Airfix that’s been lurking in the stash. I’ve got decals for a Costal Command mkv. I’ll be using 3d printed decals for the interior for the first time. @mechanicae.bsky.social

My first appearance in White Dwarf! Part of the Plaza store article.

Lovely review!

New Halfling Command, Spear and Cannon! BOOM! footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/... #oldhammer #oldhammercommunity #warhammercommunity

Had a go at oil woodgrain effect on the propeller. Happy with the result. Just waiting on some decals and we should be near to finishing!

More Arnhem goodness. This time Polsten Gun manned by the Recce element of 1st Airborne Division. This will be released by Empress Miniatures and not part of the next crowdfunding project. Polsten mastered by Ian Armstrong #chainofcommand #boltactiom #28mmww2 #ww2wargaming

The next and final batch of figures finished for the latest instalment of the Arnhem crowdfunding campaign. More news to follow soon on when and how we will we be going live. 1/1 #chainofcommand #boltaction #28mmww2 #ww2wargaming

3 new packs of Halflings added to the Footsore Miniatures & Games website. You can find them here footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/... #oldworld #halfling #WFB #warhammerfantasy #fantasybattles

First time since January I’ve used the airbrush on a kit I started in March. Pretty emotional as a lot has happened in that time. Glad that I’ve now got the mojo back for kit building. Which is great as I’ve got loads of unmade kits.

@hicksy.bsky.social and @andyhobday.bsky.social have a fantasy version of #Thebaronswar available on their website. They also have the beginnings of a fantasy range #Warhost beautifully sculpted by Paul, which we believe is worth checking out. 😍 hobdayandhicks.com

Oops, forgot to change the #footsoreminiatures hero... this month he's a wrangler of hounds for the #Conquest Irish... Let loose the dogs! FREE in orders over £40 during July ⚔️ footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/...

A visit to the church in Scampton Village to see the grave of John Mallett who had flown with Steve’s crew a couple of weeks prior to his untimely death in March ‘43. John’s aircraft hit power lines returning from a raid and came down locally.

Painting up the latest casts of Spear and Command pack 2 and Artillery Piece and crew. All coming soon to footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/... #oldworld #halflings #wfb

Exciting!

Those of you who've followed me for a while know I generally only run a sale for an unplanned expense, not for regular bills like workshop rent or materials. So here's a 20% discount to help me pay for an unexpected emergency vet bill for Fenris co-pilot Oz. Use code OZVET20 at checkout. Thankyou.

Latest Hicksy’s Halflings have been moulded by the good people of Footsore Miniatures . See the full range so far here footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/... All the best!

Actually managed to prime a model. Only the second build of the year:(. Real life really got in the way. Matchbox 1/72 Armstrong Whitworth Siskin. Great little kit. Lovely fit and lovely surface detail.

This is ridiculous. I have no need for a British Navy Flat Boat w Crew and Infantry, but man! Do I ever want one! 😍 I blame @hicksy.bsky.social and @brigadegames.bsky.social . Look how gorgeous!

I’m back sculpting for the next Arnhem Kickstarter. Based on photos including flak crewman with Luftwaffe Sports jumper. Crews also for captured jeep, Kubel and Schwimwagon. #chainofcommand #boltaction #28mmww2

… it is a group photo of the crew in N.Africa which is one of the only original photos I have. This may have been taken after this op or operations to Spezia on the 23rd. L-R back Unknown* Steve, Mac (Nav), Paul (Pilot). Front Kim (r.gnr), Tuck (m.u.gnr), Roach (bomb Aimer)…

Beautifully done.

They are going to proper F them up. Unless I’ve been held at a swimming pool.

44 years ago...

Finished this lovely quartet of buildings based on real buildings in Caen. Patrick from PatrickMiniatures was kind enough to design and send me these prints for free for my Caen table. Hes done an amazing job with them!

A day of lots of tears, love and laughter. See you on the other side Mum!

Don’t want tomorrow to come. Saying goodbye to Mum in the morning.

It's not every year you get asked to produce models for kids tv, as a tabletop games maker. There's possibly more coming from @fenrisgames.com @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and @handiworkgames.bsky.social if the production company gets funding. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I’ve not managed a lot of work since I got back from Adepticon. Mum went to hospital while I was there. I found the Halfling’s faces a real cheerful help. Normal service will be restored next week. These will be available via @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social #moot #wfboldworld #oldworld #halflings

This will be a week of Dwarfs, Germans and Mum’s funeral:(

These two pint sized new sets are getting close to release, time to look at a new regiment we think! #hicksyshalflings, #footsoreminiatures #sharethehobbylove #oldhammercommunity

The latest Halflings are with @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social and are being moulded as I type. I have a couple of other packs on the bench. Pictures to follow. You can find the range here footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/... #halflings #oldworld #moot #wfb #kingsofwar

@seanokeeffe11.bsky.social the Siskin is a lovely, fun little build. Wish I could devote more time to it.

Two new packs of Landsknecht Halflings for you. No release date on the new sets yet. Been great fun to sculpt. You can see the rest of the range of Hicksy’s Halflings here footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/...
