This one's very difficult to take photos of, but here she is: A #warhammer40000 diorama with a wrecked Rogal Dorn being used as a trading post (and washing line) by a band of Ratling spivs.

Tiny boxed diorama, using a cheap jewellery box from a craft shop and a figure from TT Combat. I refer to it as ‘evil box’.

This Rogal Dorn has seen better days but it still won me a Bronze in the Standard Vehicle category at this year’s Miniature Painting Open. Very proud of the knackered old rustbucket.

These three dioramas won me a Silver in the Standard category at this year’s Miniature Painting Open! A personal best for me so I’d say it was a very successful outing.
