Finished a test Golden Lion. Mine isn’t gold but then neither are the official ones so it’s probably fine.

Last year I backed Polina's Goblin Frenzy, and rolled the Goblins in my McDeath painting project. The miniatures are really fun, with smooth fulfillment and sweet packaging, so I heartily recommend you check the new project (pictured below, painting by lugbearz84) at gamefound.com/en/projects/...

I filled in the consultation over Christmas without the Amnesty guidelines, but you'll find they're excellent in helping you articulate why you're feeling queasy reading the Home Office proposals.
Please, if you've got a half hour, review and send the Home Office your responses.

always stoked for when Transformers US #47 original pages go up for auction, because the original transfers were so so bad for that specific issue

I just wanna point out that I tweeted that they should revive The Muppet Show 3 years ago and it got 14,000 likes (including from Mark Hamill).
So, if this new special is good, YOU ARE WELCOME.

So, I'm not even home from Vapnartak and someone's ALREADY finished a model they bought. Here's Rökthane Echogeld from Buried Under Lead. Looking mighty icy in the white and green.
(He does commissions by the way, and has just started doing tutes at patreon.com/cw/BuriedUnderLeadMiniaturePainting)

Lovely day up at Vapnartak today. Nice to catch up with @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, @ontosgames.co.uk, @bigmrtong.bsky.social, @crookeddice.bsky.social and even a rare @leakycheese.bsky.social . I spent far too much. As is traditional for me at any trade show 😄
