I always forget how much I love weathering until I get to do it again. A little test paint on the failed Dredd print. Primer, copper, clear coat, weathering. Aiming to have it read as a bronze bust.

My daughter (4) drew a robot and asked if I could model and print it. It turned out pretty well and was ready by bedtime.

I’m a man of simple pleasures and appreciate when I get to indulge them. Who knew that the AliExpress store (yes, that’s a thing) in Barcelona would sell Japanese soda and snacks.

One of these things is not like the others. 😫 I have spent thirty minutes trying to un-wedge the washer from the cover.

The second attempt at my wife’s birthday cake fortunately went well. Birthday cake for breakfast has gone down well with the birthday girl and our daughters.

This year is not my best effort. Regular and last minute design changes from “the client” and some subpar fondant choices lead to the rainbow jungle cake. I also cheated and bought the animals except for the all important “blue snake”. 😂

First time ever baking banana bread. Decided to make two as I wanted to try adding dark chocolate chips to one of them and wasn’t sure if it might all just go wrong. Both turned out better than expected and the kitchen smells amazing. 👌🏻

Daughter asked for a unicorn cake for her third birthday. Many discussions took place as to how to make it. We settled on this. My wife baked rainbow sponges with buttercream and jam filling and I modelled a unicorn and rainbow.
