Figures for the bren carrier nearly done, think they're shaping up ok! Few little bits to touch up, few straps to paint, but noticed that the guy in the middle has had the end of his Enfield snapped off 😭 Unsure if it'll be noticed though 🤔 Also anyone got any tips for weathering figures?

1/35 mojo is back baby! #histscalemodels

Wip on Universal carrier #histscalemodels

HOLY CRAP! I got 2nd place in the diorama category with my stuart!! Seriously unexpected but so chuffed with that!! Thanks to all who wished me luck it's certainly paid off! #histscalemodels #scalemodel

Stiff competition I think! Only just fitted on the table! #scalemodel #histscalemodels

My two entries for my first modelling completion! Not expecting anything but here we go! #histscalemodels #scalemodel #minipainting

Spent a bit of tonight getting this old girl ready to enter my first modelling competition tomorrow! Eeeekkk!! Absolutely not expecting anything from it mind, but still kinda excited. #histscalemodels #minipainting #scalemodel

Got these 2 90% done tonight in half an hour, not much progress but nice to have some bench time! #nerdlings

Gosh! 500 followers on here now! Thank you all! I'm Rhys, I paint 1/35 scale models and Warhammer. Thanks for joining me on my hobby journey 😁

Heading to the south Cheshire model show next Sunday if anyone else is going?

Best mate got me this after I mentioned I had some of the familiars when I first started collecting! Guess I now have a malignant plague caster... Wondering how to convert her 🤔 #nerdlings

I think the time has come to get rid of a few completed projects. Unsure what they're worth? Any takers? #nerdlings #histacalemodels #scalemodel

Having a bit of a stash clear out and selling a few kits. £30 per kit +p&p DM if interested #minipainting #histscalemodels #scalemodel

Wife thinks that this is ALL my stash (of 1/35 kits) 😅 #nerdlings #40k #minipainting #histscalemodels

With the upcoming move I'm thinking that the bren carrier may become a perpetual shelf queen (won't be taking the airbrush or most of my hobby stuff while we temporarily live at my nans) Thinking of trying to finish it off asap, got maybe 3 weeks? 🤔 #nerdlings #minipainting #histscalemodels

Probably my favourite three stinky boys... (Though there are the only fully painted ones 😅) #nerdlings

I'm enjoying painting these Night Lords terminators 🦇 #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #miniaturepainting

THIS is exactly what this book is like Utterly mind-numbing prose. 278 pages all like this. Really struggling to motivate myself with this one. Still got another 138 pages to go 😵‍💫 It's going to be a DNF I think. Only problem is my wife has packed all my books away for the house move 😭

Second build for this year, 1/700 USS Enterprise from Tamiya. The only thing I'll say, is I'm in awe of the modellers who build and do a great job at this scale.

I really really really wanted to like this book, but to be honest I'm really struggling with it. Part of the issue I think stems from the lack of a narrative of a few close individuals, also there are a LOT of facts and numbers in this. Disappointingly dull but don't want to not finish it 🫤

Plague marine production line in full swing. 3rd mini of the year painted. This is Bug. Bug has a blight launcher. Bug likes to make things go boom. Seen with his friends Captain Plasma and BP Bug may be my 2nd favourite plague marine. #nerdlings #40k #deathguard

I can't decide if I really really like the new Defiler, or if I absolutely hate it. Quite like the fact that it has a host of new weapons though! Sort of quite like the nurgle specific head too #40k #nerdlings

Grandad Tom spent about 15 years at sea as a ship's cook. Served in the merchant navy in the Second World War. He bought this chest in Singapore I believe, and I've recently inherited it

Moving house soon which basically means that my wife is actually going to see how much stuff I have for modelling and I'm a little terrified of what she'll say

Oooooo new British 1/35 figures who are... *Checks notes* Standing around staring into the distance and drinking tea (and smoking) Hooorrraaayyy for dynamically and interestingly posed British units 😤

So his tone's a bit different to my other plague marines, but I'm not hating it! #minipainting #40k #nerdlings

Look I finished a thing! 2nd mini of 2026 fully painted 💪 Biologious putrifier painted over two evenings. Pretty happy with him 😁 #nurgle #deathguard #40k #nerdlings #minipainting

This is *NOT* all of my plague marines, only the ones with green paint on them. Most of them are about 70% finished. Hoping if I get them done I'll be well on the way for my 25 mini pledge. #nerdlings #40k #deathguard #minipainting

Apparently it's 4 years since I finished my Churchill crocodile. Last kit I brush painted too! #histscalemodels #nerdlings

Need a few bits (actually probs quite a lot 😅) 3d printing. Anyone able to help out? Don't need them urgently if that helps? Would prefer resin but I'll take high resolution filament if not. More than happy to pay for any services rendered too obviously! Uk based plz

Mr Stinky is done.

Here's Butt-puncher with his best friend. #nerdlings

This is Butt-puncher. He's a Lord of Virulence from the death guard who loves nothing more than flanking unsuspecting Imperial Guardsmen and punching them in the butt. Only had about an hour to paint tonight but very happy with how he's coming along! #nerdlings #minipainting #40k

Today has been one of those days. Awful classes - Kid pulled out a tooth, sprayed blood everywhere and threw it about Another said he was Epstein's ex Racist bigoted comments Sworn at Ignored Generally made to feel sub human, no behaviour strategies working. Absolutely frazzled. #teacher

Current read. One of my granddad's was a gunner though he never spoke about it, so no idea if he was anti tank or artillery. Think he served in the desert, Malta and Northern Europe though from his medals

I remember when I used to do Warhammer when I was in my teens, always wanted a defiler, thought they looked so cool. Bought one a few years ago and I think it may be time...

Played 2 games of 40k this weekend, great fun, but both sort of ending in a bit of a stalemate. Have learned that I need to strategies properly though. Also my wardog got shot off the board before it even had the chance to do anything 😭 #nerdlings #40k

Who's gonna win? My stinky bois or my best mates imperial guard? #nerdlings #40k

Green art? Ok!

Help a top bloke out

Ordered a 3d printed 'grim' Churchill tank for my best mate for his birthday almost 2 months ago, no sign of it, emailed the supplier and they said it'll be a couple of weeks. That was almost a month ago now. Chased them but they seem to be ghosting me now 😞

#WIPWednesday a few bits of stuff I'm working on and really need to finish... What are you working on? #nerdlings #histscalemodels #minipainting

Don't sneer or despair at your own painted miniatures if they didn't go as planned. It's a journey. Sometimes things work. Sometimes they don't. To try is a huge achievement alone. Any paint looks better than none. You're already your own worst critic. No point also being your own biggest bully.

Mm'kay so I couldn't sleep so went back and painted some more green things 😅 #nerdlings

Not much hobby time tonight, only had about 15 minutes in the end, but got some stuff painted white and got another thing with some green paint on it. Still counts, right?

In the effort to #buildthestash I'm wondering if I also sell some of the stash 🤔 Got at least 3 German 1/35 kits plus crew I'm never going to build (hetzer, panzer 4 and a gesutchwagen) Plus I've got about 1000 points of tau I have no mojo for at all maybe. Anyone want to help me out?
