I was otherwise engaged, but scouts report it was a quiet night at Glasgow phoenix, with Temu Middle-Earth using Dragon Rampant 2, Relic/40k Talisman and some Midgard

Raw, power politics in its most brutal form this evening as the Glasgow Phoenix Club has its AGM. Titanic matters to deal with include the Methodist Hall raising its fees by £1 per hour and one regular attendee not having paid his fees.

And the Saturday night movie is at least the first half of this. I met Richard Attenborough once, at a screening of Oh What a Lovely War. He signed my copy of Brickhills Great Escape as Big X.

Thursday night movie. 1994. Jean Reno is so young! And Luc Besson loved and filmed New York like no American could.

If you’ve ever loved #bloodbowl, you’ll know who Pete Knifton is, from his artwork.
Sadly, Pete passed away last night. He was a funny, clever and immensely talented guy who always had time to chat. He’ll be very much missed.

At the beginning of the year I was doing Bondercise. Thirty minutes on the exercise bike with a Bond movie to distract me. Then I stopped. Back in the saddle, pant, wheeze.

Wasn’t sleepy so got up and painted the other prototypes for my Voidfighter project. Perhaps neaten them up tomorrow but they tell already. Four more of each of the twelve to do to match these. I should probably design some space fighters!

It's been a while since I joined in with #SelfPromotionSaturday so here I go.

I design nostalgic 3D prints for wargaming that are easy to print on pretty much any FDM printer and need no supports, so no faffing about with support removal.
