it's that time of year when your friendly online one-person business is getting mucked about even more than usual by postal and courier services - please remember that once stuff's out of our hands we don't have control over delivery times!

While awaiting delivery of gifts to wrap for my #HoHoHobbyVices2025 match, I thought I'd pop together an 'astropathic message' wafer to accompany them. MS Paint and Word ftw!

Finally after a month, Phoenix Lord Fuegan.
If I go any longer I’ll ruin what details are left. There’s a lot of sections I’m real happy with, but a few key spots suffered because of my indecisiveness.
There’s always next time.

Trans pride Zaku from the Gundam Assemble series of minis !
It's was a really fun mini to paint, the sculpt is pretty great, despite some simplifications made to allow the model to be push fit (the gap between the cable and the legs isn't hollowed)

Been a while, but having tons of fun painting the GW Cathay models. So much so that I've taken a break from playing 40k and smashed out a game of fantasy for the first time in years!

I'm enjoying painting little metal dwarves and goblins. Metal minis are still my favourites.
I think small skirmish games with fun characterful warbands are way more my thing than competitive large scale games.
