I am genetically incapable of throwing away jam jars. Dad and grandad would simply not allow it 😄 See also: tins. What family habit is written in your DNA?

My last four tanks…I seem to be building one or two a year at the moment...I sort of like them but they are a bit of a scale modelling cliche perhaps…🤷♂️

I had an airbrush malfunction, which has now been resolved. Today I airbrushed some matt varnish on the spine and plates. Steggie is finished apart from a base. I'm still pondering on that.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Folks... Tank's done. See below for more. Still have the base and Haus to finish up, but feels good to have this done. A lot of fun in a small package. ✌️

Going to order Taco Bell as my personal reward for the Seahawks winning the NFC championship. I did absolutely nothing to help or influence the team, and I have no connection to Seattle or even the US, but I did buy a t-shirt about 7 years ago 👍

I always marvelled at the wiring on London underground.
Wouldn't know where to start.
Not sure I'd call it art, tho.

Wiring infrastructure as art. I do genuinely love this stuff, because it works, which means there are people who know how to maintain it. The idiots who run our world have no interest or ability to do so, so let the people work it out 👍 sorry, that escalated quickly 😅

Day 2 at the mega mall in Bang Kapi. This will be perfect when the Dawn of the Dead happens. IF… I mean if it happens 😅👍 TBH, 2026 feels like it is already happening but without the zombies.
