My "Spotify wrap for 2025" 😀

Tonight's 94.5% waning gibbous. The crater edge outlines beginning to emerge on the right hand side now we're out of the full phase. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

Chieftain has got camo. I planned a few more stripes, but the putty was going soft and I started to panic - I got up at 6 to try and beat the heat 😅 I like how it looks. I'm 50:50 on whether to add some more, but I don't want to tinker. Any strong opinions either way? #HistScaleModels #scalemodels

I simultaneously love and hate camo putty. #scalemodels

Follow me for more masking screw-ups 👍 #scalemodels

My long lens is bust, so this is the best I could do - this morning at 7am. #FullMoon

Calling time on the Italeri Crusader II. An easy kit to build. Really nice for it's age.Hideous decals needed care after the first lot fell off. Tamiya rattle can plus usual brush paints for the colours. I'm pleased with it. #histscalemodels

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

This mornings full supermoon. #moon #astronomy #supermoon

Got the red on…a few touch ups needed but not too shabby at least…

Just for posterity, this is my musical heartland. Real 80s and synthetic 80s 😄

The wind has picked up and cleared the smog. Quite a difference from yesterday (top) to today (bottom).

The sun came up and the mist came down.

Count down to the end of the year with a Spitfire Mk.IXe from #Airfix 👍 uk.airfix.com/community/bl...

Back on the bike this morning. I have stopped saying "ow, ow, ow" whenever I walk 😄 A bit smoggy this morning, agricultural burning season is hitting its stride. Beach pontoons are out again 👍

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

I went through the stash and picked my build for #FestiveTankChallenge2025 - Tamiya 1:48 M4A1 - one of the die-cast chassis jobs 👍 #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels

I was telling people I was going to take it easy on this 10K, last one of the year, I’m not in form I had planned to be in by now, conceded that I wasn’t going to hit my goal of sub-60 minutes. Then I was sat in the runners’ expo before the race, the atmos was great, and I thought… C’MON LET’S GO 😅

Made it to the start line, which I’m counting as a win. Marathon is in progress, half marathon runners are crossing the finish line now 👍👍 #Bangkok #marathon #WorldCapitalMarathon

Just been working out what time I need to leave the house for the 90-minute drive up the road, to get parked in central Bangkok, to get to the shuttle bus stop for the ride to the 10K start line, for 05:45 kick off... looks like I need to leave before I go to bed 😱 Goodnight, I think?

Fuelling up for tomorrow’s 10K in Bangkok 👍

There has been a minor financial event.

Scoring a goal is a feat of physical excellence, but getting the pass to the shooter -right on the spot- is pure football genius. A superstar gets all the plaudits, but a playmaker makes everyone better.I will always be more proud of my assists than my goals. youtu.be/ld9y6OwactU?...

A good thing about the napkin holder is it lets you take out your preferred number of napkins so long as you want either 800 napkins or a 3cm shard of one napkin.

I'm enjoying The Witcher s4, although I miss Cavill in the role. The costume change in this series makes Hemsworth look like a biker. Nothing wrong with looking like a biker, but it's not the witcher. However, very happy to see this legend join the cast. Laurence Fishburne: what a career 👍

This. This is why you never teach turkeys to read. #Turkey #Turkeys #Thanksgiving #Thanksgivingdinner #Turkeydinner #Cartooning #Comics #Comic #singlepanelcartoon

Chieftain in various states of primer and base coat (TS-2 rattle can). It is now back to almost exactly the same shade of dark green as the original plastic - well played Tamiya 😄👍 I totally forgot about the side skirts, so they are a step behind. Even the gun looks ok with a lick of paint.

I finished up my winter Tamiya Kubel. As mentioned to Tom I've been slapping weathering products on this and trying out a few things. The chipping worked, but uneccessary. The acrylic mud is good and using oil paints has been a fun experience. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Chieftain in progress 👍 #scalemodels

A little Azul to start our Sunday 😍 #boardgames

All four figures I have done so far, I really enjoyed doing them all, big thanks for all the likes, messages and reposts, much appreciated on all the builds 👍😀👍. #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels

Took a walk up this fella today: Khao Chalak, two kilometers up, two kilometers down, not quite Currahee, but still a good workout 👍 Looking down on the town of Sri Racha and the Gulf of Thailand. #Thailand #Chonburi #KhaoChalak

Might have over-exerted this afternoon 😮‍💨

Saturday usually means a trip to my third favourite place: 1) home 2) any hobby shop 3) MegaHome 4) any local restaurant 5) Sunrise Tacos Buying 1:35 scale tow ropes, thanks for the tip Stef! 👍 This particular stuff is quite stiff. I'll give it a go and then look online when it goes wrong.

What a joy to be sewing paper again after taking a long break from this hobby! 🪡📒 #copticstitch #bookbinding

I appreciate it when kit makers put some background info in the kit instructions. This is a good read from Tamiya that ends with this nugget: 100K + time machine = Chieftain tank 😄👍 #histscalemodels #scalemodels

I have a couple of small, decorative bowls up on my shop. It’s not just vases and lidded jars! I am hoping for a handful of sales before the end of the year, just to keep me going in supplies & space on my shelves ☺️ #pottery #ceramics #lgbtqmaker #independentartist WavingPinesPottery.co.uk

What's your go-to replacement stuff for 1:35 tow ropes? Cheers 👍 I just broke one of mine trying to put some kinks in it. I have some textured thread, but it is too thin. Will look for some braided wire at the hardware shop at the weekend. #scalemodels

Morning, hobby team. I am almost done with sanding seams. Looking at schemes, Tamiya seem to have a rule that all British tanks are dark green, but I think the green/black camo scheme is standard for BOAR Chieftains, right? #histscalemodels Screenshot is from tank-afv.com/coldwar/UK/c...

Yibbida Yibbida, That's All Folks! (As Rex Hunt would say 😅) 1:72 Consolidated B-24H Liberator. Corky Pig ready to take to the skis(I mean skies! Don't believe him!) Some gaps, some wrong colours, some bung decals.....still, pretty happy with my 1st effort in 27 years. 🤣 #HeaviesGB #histscalemodels

Ahoy there, landlubbers 😀 evening bike ride to the fishing pier #Thailand #photography

Getting a line out at the end of the day #Thailand #photography

Tonight's sunset on the Gulf of Thailand #Thailand #photography

Right, that is me done with the Airfix Shackleton. A very good kit, great decals and in the end a good looking plane. A few mistakes and a few things I will do differently next time but overall happy with how it's turned out. #histscalemodels #HeaviesGB

Back at the workbench after an extended absence. First job: seams 😭 I think this was why I took a sabbatical in the first place! 😂 Tamiya 1:35 Chieftain Mk5 (classic - good value, quick build) #histscalemodels
