I know everyone likes to show off their fabulous finished models when they have an influx of new followers (hello!), so let's do this differently. Here's four of my favourite #WIP projects for you to enjoy!

Thought it had only been a day or two since I last painted something. My "wet" palette disagrees with this assessment.

Never see Jarvis Cocker and James Acaster in the same room at the same time, do you.

Wasn't satisfied with the NMM, so trying a subtler effect with the sword on the right. Think I'm happier with this.

Trying to improve my NMM on character models. This is a comparison of first draft versus final.

Quite the difference, right?

Asking friends for feedback was a huge help to me.

Painting faces is fun!

Updated my blog today (www.nerodine.com) to include all the painting blogs I currently read and follow. Enjoying the longer-form articles over my morning coffee more than social media these days.

Open to other painting blog recommendations folk may have!

(I have now said blog too much. Blog blog.)

Painting miniatures, from many wonderful companies, to a reasonable standard - not just Games Workshop. May feature salty language.

Yeah, think it's time to change the airbrush booth filter ...

Wife came in and started talking about Ranunculus Bulbs, and I assumed it must be some Harry Potter-related character.

Apparently it's actually something she's planting in the garden.

I like that on my Zwift cycle this morning all everyone's talking about is how many km they've done, and how many sausages they can eat as a result. My people.

Merry Christmas, folks. I hope it's a good one for you and yours.

Well, 'tis the season.

Wood Elf war dancers.

Painted these for this year's Secret Santa in our hobby Discord. Mix of old metal dancers, and the oldest elf sculpt I could find to be their line manager 🤣

So merry Christmas, @bodaciousbukharin.bsky.social, happy to feed your lead addiction!

I promise to do better with my NMM next year, so may as well start practicing now!

King Diamond, Imperial Dwarf.

Painted as a gift for my splendid friend @finraer.bsky.social just because I could.

Slann Starmaster.

Painted for my brilliant mate @greenstuffnglue.bsky.social who was kind enough to let me put brushes near this lovely sculpt.

(And no, autocorrect, I do not mean stair master)

What you need in your day is 20 minutes of the most joyful version of David Byrne. Sure it's wet and miserable out there, but this is pure sunshine.

Another set of heroes for Zombicide Black Plague finished: Beauregard, Cul'nar, Gurbak, Brickborn, Dravog and Hildir. One hour each ... yes, the witch and goat count as one.

Oh @ianmcque.bsky.social this book is beautiful. Well done.

Finally watched The City & The City TV show, based on one of my favourite China Miéville books of the same name. Thoroughly enjoyable. Cast is ace, production is lovely and how they handle the main plot point is spot on.

(also very glad they didn't try for hammy Eastern European accents too)

Chris makes fabulous models, and these will be AWESOME. Very excited to see these come to life. Look at those adorable chonks.

I'm backer number 9, and you could be backer number 10!

Had to explain to my son that Movember isn't actually about giving money to grown men for growing shit moustaches. Harder conversation than the Santa one, frankly.
