This is the final image of the DredgeBrute (from Mezgike minis). I used this as an experiment in the "SlapChop 2.0+" technique, as demonstrated by Suratos Studios (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xduoWUuWzJU).

I'm pretty pleased with the result; I'm […]

Time for a change from Space Marines and glazing. I received some Speedpaint 2.0 paints at Christmas; I haven't had a chance to try them out yet, and although I wasn't convinced when I tried the SlapChop method on my termagaunts I'm keen to try the […]

Very, very nearly there with the 40k Starter Set. The Captain is done - just the teleport beacon to go!

I have finally finished the Space Marine Terminators I started way back in June last year. Just a Captain to go, and I've finished the 40k starter set that I began painting in... oh god, I've just checked the purchase date... September 2023.

I don't think the link I posted earlier attached any images. So just in case here's a better look at the Minotaur Krampus. #bloodbowl

I spent some time yesterday modelling a candle-holder for a birthday cake, then 3d printing 10 of them (for a 40th birthday). The cake isn't for a gardener, so those unfamiliar with the Two Ronnies may be puzzled...

At my local village music festival. The mix of bands is... eclectic. Last band on stage was an otherwise-straight-up 80s/90s covers band, but they finished their set with Weezer's Teenage Dirtbag, Taylor Swift's Love Story, and a metal rendition of Britney's Hit me Baby. Five 40+ blokes with […]

Mini painting has taken a back seat lately as I've been printing out and painting terrain from the Ruins of Perdition Kickstarter I backed earlier in the summer:

I've tried two […]

So, @nerdlings, time for my personal #thrudball retrospective 🧵:

As one of the four core organisers of this lovely #bloodbowl event, I spent a long year and many hours on making sure everything went right, we got everything and at the best value for money, and […]

More glaze transition practice on the Atlantian Spears Terminators. The order of painting is right to left (i.e. the power-sword-wielding sergeant was the most recently painted). I think the improvement in technique over time is actually visible, which is encouraging!

Okay, "fecund" may have been taking things a bit too far. Perhaps my brush is more like an aging bull - still potent, but would really prefer to have a lie down in the shade.

Regardless, this is my current WIP - a continuation of glaze blending practice on a Terminator.

Marvel at the fecundity of my paint brush, for I have finished... *five space marines*. Cower before the fury of my keyboard, for I have finished... *a blog post*.

Feeling pretty pleased with myself right now […]

Follow-up WIP post... More experimentation, building on my attempt at glaze blending, with an oil-based pin wash. I need to get a lot neater: the slightly grimy finish works for Infernus marines with big flamethrowers, but perhaps wouldn't elsewhere! […]

Given how long it seems to take me to finish anything, posting WIP pictures may be the only way I'll post *anything*...

This is my first go at blending mid-tones into shades using multiple thin glazes. By the end I think I was starting to get a feel […]

It's been a while, but I've finally got another model off the painting table. This one is a "thank you" gift for my wife, who bought me my 3D printer for my birthday. The model was printed on an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra, and I got the model at […]

Not quite finished but good enough to show off a WIP.

It's the second Flesh Golem for my #BloodBowl Necromantic team.
