UK-based miniature painter, 25, enjoying my hobby at my own pace.

Hello world!

I've been painting and modelling for more than 15 years now, but decided to share it on an account here. I hope you'll enjoy my creative output!
Took a break from the hobby due to life stuff, but I am back to share a new project! A Hot Wheels Ford GT-40, dirtied up and crewed by deranged cowboy wannabes for #Gaslands because I wanna try and learn how to play. This one will belong to a vicious team of all-60s American cars!

I've picked one of my older paused projects back up - my Rogue Trader Lamenters! So close to having the entire 3rd Company painted up, but here's Squad Primus - hardy veterans from 1990's Space Crusade, identified by the choicest picks of gear, and checkered greaves. #paintingwarhammer #warhammer

So I wasn't happy with how the test Saturnine looked, and I've built the last three without the shoulder pads, and instead with 3D printed insignias and blast helmets like Inceptors, to lean into their astronaut look. I think these look way better, like lost prototypes. #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

Yes, yes, more World Eaters, I know - I've been focussing on them quite hard to get a playable force ready for the beginnings of an escalation league next month. Here's a Saturnine terminator, with a 3D printed head, shoulder pads, and extra-large back generators! #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

The full squad of Outriders is done. I gave a couple of them bionic limbs, and the sergeant's horse a set of plasma guns instead of bolters. I loved painting these so much, and they look fantastic as a full unit - now I'm just struck with the need to make five more! :'( #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

Painted a test model for an outrider squad for my Samurai World Eaters - I took a Krieg death rider and 3D printed the entire rider and head to make a grim horseman ready to charge the enemy lines. So much more thematic than motorbikes could ever be, and a truly grimdark result. #warhammer

Also finished off this old half-done project - an old forgotten OOP Forge World model, the Preyton! It's such a horrific thing, so I decided to try a more muted, high-contrast grimdark style. Not my cup of tea, I prefer my stuff to be more bright and eye-catching, but it was a fun experiment.

Here's a custom WE Typhon - I had a spare Spartan lying around which wasn't being used, so I chopped the front off and redid it in plasticard with a 3D printed cannon, prow spikes and doors. This came out really nicely, but I can't help thinking I should open up the top and add some sandbags...

Additionally, more WEs - a squad of five Rampagers with meteor hammers/barb lashes, which I've turned into kusarigama. They were so much fun to model the parts in 3D, and pose them using wire and jewelry chains. Got more on the way - axe-y despoilers, and dreadnoughts, plus a Typhon and/or Cerberus!

As promised, a World Eaters dreadnought, stomping on a traitorous brother (or a Blood Angel, if I run him as a traitor himself). Arms are fully magnetised. Mostly 3D printed but using the old Berzerker Dreadnought body because it looks amazing with the split legion icon!

More Samurai World Eaters - my Praetor, with a double bionic arm, and my banner bearer. I love how these guys came out, all 3D printed apart from the banners from Warlord Ashigaru and the body of the Praetor which was a Judiciar originally. This army's gonna look amazing when it's all together.

Aaaaand some kid at the LGS already knocked it off the table and broke it. Didn't even say sorry. This has not been my week...
Got my hands on the Gundam TCG Wing set, cuz I wanted more of the models after the Zaku - Behold, my Tallgeese, painted in a Spartan-inspired colour scheme! I had a ton of fun subtly reposing this guy to look a bit more dynamic, and made the base out of milliput. The pair of bodyguard Leos are next!

Hey all - Only a day or two ago, this got revealed finally - took half a year, but I participated in the Frankengramps project with the Backloggers group. I did the backpack, everyone did a piece in secret - very awesome project, and came out amazing!

Seems UK weather is screwing me - my spray primer is coming out fuzzy due to the humidity. Damn you, sun!!

Tragic that my can of GW grey spray is compromised in some way. It feels normal for a minute, then turns powdery but the moment you touch it it turns to goop. Disgusting, and has ruined some of my models. Thankfully this custom Dreadnought made it out just about okay though. But man, this sucks.

Well, that's my lucky streak broken - a partially failed print today. On the bright side, at least there's plenty of parts on the plate I can use still!

A trio of Oni-inspired Red Butchers for my samurai World Eaters. All 3D printed except for the banners. It's a shame they're not so great in game, but dangit, they look amazing! So excited to continue this theme on the rest of the army.
