You can buy cans of rainbow sparkles.

The power to add rainbow sparkles to anything I own is intoxicating.

My housemate is an amazing artist, and seeing their creations made me want to join in so I drew a little magical frog😅

I miss doing random little scribbles.

Tried a technique to simulate clearcoat failing.

Just need to try some stuff to lock down the crusties on the edges of the patches.

Everything you did lovingly for yourself and your community today;

They didn't want you to.

Buuuut you did it anyway because you're not going to let them take that away from you.

Here's a minute of rain😘

Getaway driver but they're on break.

Added some ferns and went a bit crazy filling the rear footwells with long grass tufts. Can always rip em out😅

Adding moss. Everything is better with moss.

Scale model building is keeping me sane.

Okay but

The 2026 goal is for all of my scale model builds to incorporate some form of LGBT detail or easteregg.

Probably via a rainbow LED, because they're pretty as fuck😅

Current scale model I've been working on😁

Someone left the windows down and mushrooms started to grow :o

Added some blacklight-reactive paint 😅

Have you played this GORGEOUSLY spookily atmospheric game?

It's Forza Horizon 5😅

If I'm ever trapped in a piece of media by a curse, I want it to be The Simsposn Hit & Run menu screen.

The amount implications in those films.

Why is the payphone logo shaped like a reciever FOR A HUMAN HAND AND HEAD??!

Did a fun collab with an artist a while ago, I designed and produced some 3d printed wheels in 1:24 scale, added a sprue just like the real injection-cast wheel sets we wanted to replicate too. Full circle😅

Did a sparkly clear blue 'chase' version for yhem as well just for fun.

For a Corvair model build-off a while ago I designed some parts for the engine of mine. Everything except the block and gearbox is 3d printed or detail wire/photoetch.

It wasn't until I got to that stage I realized how DERANGED the fanbelt of these engines is. It HAS A 90DEGREE BEND IN IT.

There's a scale model product that is iron paint and an oxidizing agent used to add real rust to your builds.

It smells funky but the results are very convincing IMO!

The oxidizing agent can be diluted with water for more subtle effects and to add variance too.

Mess around in Meshmixer with the sculpt mode, it's fun!! You'll need to meshwrap the model first though (super easy in Meshmixer).

I couldn't figure out how to apply a texture in Blender so I just messed around adding damage/texture to this in Meshmixer while listening to music😅

The chrome pen on the top of the spokes looks all shitty like the chearcoat is peeling off the exposed brushed metal like on the 1:1 wheels sometimes... happy accident😅

Realllllly looking forward to weathering the rest of this project up

Both of these Richard Scarry car designs are incredibly bad ideas for different heat-related reasons.

Some people never read this fount of knowledge and it really shows.
September 30, 2025 at 2:03 AM
Made car sparkly.
September 18, 2025 at 7:59 AM
Painted this a few years ago, didn't sand the deck very well though😅

But it's the sparklies that really matter!

Never could decide what word/words to paint on it though.

These cars were sold new with a box of crystals mounted in the engine bay.

Bulldogged the backlog of The OC, Again podcast over the last couple weeks. @alexsteed.bsky.social and @nikostratis.com are a soothing balm for my smooth little stressed brain. The OC exists in my head ONLY as Niko and Alex have described it. I vow to never watch it in order to preserve this magic.

Made a replica-ish model for a super positive person who makes Youtube videos, seeing their reaction when they got it is the kinda thing that keeps me going😅
