Well, 2025 is about done and dusted and despite quite a few fun distractions along with a healthy dose of globetrotting this year, I managed to complete some models here and there that I was pleased with:
So I had a lot of fun with this lil’ project..really simple koncept of course, because the original car was just so perfect to be made into a Gaslands racer. Fellow Blueskyers, I present the initial offering of the Squigga Rampante, the Skudaria FerrarOrk:

So, as the Ork legend goes, there was a renowned Ork Blitza Bommer pilot named Francesco BaOrka. His friendship with another legendary Mek Boy/ Speed Freek Ork led to creation of a racing team famous for the iconic Squigga Rampante and, of course…the striking skarlett of Skudaria FerrarOrk. 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

OK so I can’t help but see it as a mandate from the hobby gods that this terrific lil’ Ork driver from @ramshacklegames.bsky.social just so happens to fit PERFECTLY into the cockpit of this chassis that is about to become a Gaslands performance car.

As I near the end of my 6th decade on this planet, I think my most significant observation from all that time is :
“There’s really nothing wrong with being an idiot, it’s just when you add ‘arrogant’ to the mix, is when you start to have issues”

OK so once I made one Gaslands car this weekend, that led to another idea….here is a new kab for the Orks that will work with parts from the Waaagh Rig. I had this victim trophy rack around forever looking for a great way to use it…so the Orks present the perfect use kase. Magnet mounts of course

I added some lil’ spacers to create more clearance for the big wheels (and keeps the “too thin” axle pins from being visible) on the Gaslands FerrarOrk.

OK here is the Ork’d up vintage Ferrari ready for paint.

OK, so I primed 4 more Space Gits, but seeing as @drmonkeyface.bsky.social inspired me to do some Gaslands stuff, here’s a Gaslands Ork who will be driving the vintage Ferrarork which is spending the night in “The Dip” for assembly and painting tommorow.

So while I was painting Grots, evidently some Imperials decided to encroach on the Gits’ display shelf….the Gits are about to see about that…

….and I realized that I had a few jet exhausts in inventory, so Rokkit Git doesn’t have to wait for his sooty exhaust plumes…

So here are the first two Grots for Space Gits. Like all of these Kromlech models, they are loaded with personality and thus fun to paint.

This is really nice. For me, when I see a work that reminds me of Frazetta, that’s really something.
New work!! Any kinds of environments scare me, but I always end up enjoying them in the end :D

Space Git #3: this guy insisted that he be converted a bit so he could have a JettPakk. He probably will get some black and sooty exhaust plumes at some point the next time I order from Deadly Print Studios, who make some nice ones.

Here is Space Git #2, the first of the Chef’s Gang. I didn’t know that Bacardi no longer sells 151, but it seemed like an appropriate bottle for these dudes to have readily at hand.

These Space Gits models (Kromlech miniatures mostly with a few GW bits here and there) are really fun to put paint on. Here’s the first one:

I honestly can’t imagine why anyone would play any 40k faction other than Orks….they are simply too much fun. This dude will on a flying stand or perhaps about to snag on some urban clutter …

This weekend we found ourselves in Lichfield, which has always struck me as an odd name for a place.

So here are 21 bases for the Drunken Orks of the Space Gits universe to stagger around on. Now to finish 21 space Gits…🏁😄

So far 2026 is all @planetsmashergames.bsky.social on the paint desk. After a bunch of Gaslands stuff, now it’s on to Space Gits. Really clever models from Kromlech miniatures (I used a few GW heads & bits here & there). I’m doing them all in Premier League jersey colors, for EZ ID on the table.

The Waaaagh Rig is being piloted by a drunken Ork (me) so it’s not doing well thus far, but it’s looking good doing it.
