Well, 2024 has been quite eventful to say the least. If you don’t know me from that other place, here is some of my stuff from the year that I was pleased with and I think I unintentionally ended the year with my favorite model of the year.
This wins the day (at a minimum), I suggest.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

So a few years ago, the folks at the bank where I work decided to lighten up a bit and encourage costumes for Halloween. I did a few more subtle things in past years, however I decided that this year I won’t plan on doing much work with this outfit on 🏁😄

I love these models…very LOTR style with plenty of variety between all the orcs in the bunch.
some test painting on some of my orcs, a single classic paintjob, and a quick paintjob with contrast paint on a small warband

Hey! If y’all aren’t familiar with Sylvain and Aenor Miniatures, I’d suggest you check them out. Lots of really characterful stuff with excellent casting quality.
It's my first post here, so I figured I'd post some of the first miniatures I sculpted for Aenor, some fantasy adventurers sculpted in #beesputty and some #greenstuff

Yes, I am old school, but the greatest rider in the history of the sport agrees with me….fancy sports drinks have their place, but sometimes the thing you need is a Coca Cola.

There is something about Royal Mail international that makes me think they really like stomping on packages….nothing fragile in here fortunately…I’ll take the opportunity to plug shop.instarpaint.com. And look what was added as a bonus!

Yeah, I’m fine with looking at 100 WIP shots of this thing as it progresses.
There's nothing like posting the same guy over and over with small updates 😅. The photo is a bit light, but close enough. I'll do some back shots soon 👀

OK so my father in law tuned and raced vintage cars at Bonneville (still holds a speed record, I think). Some old school young dudes purchased his record setting car “Tubby”, a 1949 Hudson (Doc from the Cars movie) and check out how they are transporting Tubby. A+ paintjob on the tow-rig!
