Little relieved the Plasmabow looks much better on a body. Now to sculpt his full cloak.

As I reached for my tool pouch in preparation of sculpting some stuff, I remembered I bought another one recently for my brushes.

Might be time I admitted to myself I may have a thing for tool rolls.

Put my Zeratul together. Lovely plastic to work with, couldn't resist throwing some Make it Epic ferns and grass on there.

*happy sand people noises*

Excited to finally get my hands on the beautifully detailed event promo Zeratul from #ArchonStudio new Starcraft Miniatures Game.

Only disappointment is they only give you one base, but nothing magnets can't solve.

Think that's all I can fit in there and keep it a KT display board and not a diorama. Kinda want to stick a truck in there though.

It's the equivalent of 4 am and I've been assembling all the base bits of the diorama.

Couldn't resist a lil proof of concept shot using my PC monitor. God I hope I can figure out the wiring to make the lil screen work, cause this is awesome.

Aw hell yeah!

My floor bits arrived 5 days early. Gotta go get the mail. Where are my keys? Where are my pants!?

Going slightly nuts waiting for the floor bits to arrive so focused that onto adding gribbly bits.

Of course, I've noticed I glued that aquilla in slightly crooked and now that's all I can see.

Watching TV and cat comes over nipping and wanting attention then wanders off. Feel eyes on me a while later, turn and see him sitting beside the bed staring at me. Glances at the bed when we make eye contact then continues to stare at me.

Lil man is apparently very upset I have missed our bedtime.

Finally giving a try at putting a TV screen in some Gallowdark terrain. Super excited to start this one. Still not sure how I'm going to do the spaceship-style floor, but excited to find out.

...Then spend 20 minutes cutting the panels to realise I cut the WRONG PANELS. *facepalm*

Project almost 3 years in the making, which ain't bad for me. Though the inspiration for the models may be older.Space Wolves were my first 40k army back in the day. And I've always wanted to try bow weilding scouts with cloaks inspired by some I saw on Pintrest. Now that Wolf Scouts are coming to Kill Team it seems like the best time to try.However, as any casual look at my feed will tell you, I like display boards for my warbands, which fit nicely in my tournament tray. So I think it's time to make a sci-fi themed one, especially as I wait for conversion bits to arrive for the Scouts.I got this little tv display out of an old Lego floor display we threw away while I worked at the book store. It's been in storage a long time so hopefully it still works. I originally wanted to make a Gallowdark game board with it, but life got in the way. So I figure I should use the bits on the display board instead.This will push my modeling ability a bit. Never done electronics before, and this will require a lot more scratch building than I usually do. *fingers crossed*#killteam #spacewolves #gallowdark #gallowdarkterrain #graveoftheheinlein #warhammercommunity

Kinda obsessed with this 'Renegade Crowns' upgrade to the Border Princes idea. Interested to see how it differs from the base version. It really tickles that manic conversion monkey part of my brain. I love the lil crossbow men I made for Underworlds and would like to explore that more.

While scrounging through my bits I found a couple of Jump Boosters and thought I'd try making a WASP trooper.

At this rate I may need to source more Orlock bits and old Trooper boxes.

Did what many would consider sacrilegious, and cut up one of my Starship Troopers miniatures.

Used some Crawdor bits to create a Sarge with Power Weapon and Heirloom Autopistil. Turned out a bit more steam punk than I intended but I'm happy with this proof of concept.

*Argueing with my cat*
Me: Why are you being a lil shit!
Cat: *attacks computer mouse again*
Me: I'm giving you attention, you don't have to be a brat! ...Or are you trying to get me to pick you up and hold you like a baby?
Cat: *pauses. Slowly leans down and bites me*
Yeah ok, I'm onto you now.

So I watched Anime with subtitles on Prime once.

And ever since it has decided I MUST be Japanese or something and any time I start a new show it randomly chooses between English with Japanese subtitles or Japanese with English subtitles.

I thought AI were supposed to be getting smarter.

Just had a dream where I was walking with a guy and making small talk about video games. He brought one up called 'Stay Frosty' where it starts by you gathering items and equipment then a hunt phase starts and you're hunted by an 'abominable snowman' that looks like an evil frosty. Kinda wanna play.

You know you've been jerked around at jobs before when the first thought you had after reading a new "Everyone Must Now Do This" email, where you are explicitly noted as exempt, is "Then why did you CC me on this?"

That feeling when you realise the convention table you found out you were running three days ago is happening tomorrow.

XD the xray guy at airpiry security stopped me to ask what was in my carry-on. Was confused by hiw my mini setup shows up on screen.

Was like "I have never seen anything like that before". Glad I could be a training experience.

Someone is making packing for my trip to Calgary's #albertaclassic underworlds event tomorrow.

It's the cat. Of course it is.
