Alessi are usually amongst the first Karists to arrive on a new world, moving quietly amongst the populace for some time spreading their faith and gathering recruits.

Here is another competition piece. The challenge was to make a building out of nothing but scraps.

I made this ramshackle water treatment plant out of pieces of a printer and an old cassette deck, amongst other stuff.

Turned out to be a win 🏆 1st place!

A little tech support...

Rogue Trader-era Squat Tech Priest, bought on eBay 20 years ago and dug out a while back for something different to paint.

If you see this, RT something with fire 🔥

A while ago, in a random fit of madness, I made a light-up grill from Maelstrom's Edge terrain sprue components and a battery-powered tealight candle...

A plastic model kit from a simpler time!

This multi-option gun carriage kit was produced by PDC Gaming through Kickstarter back in 2013. We have what we believe are the last remaining sprues in captivity, available while stocks last. Grab them here: www.maelstromsedge.com/medge/store....

Some old terminators, from my commission conversion day...

A Black Consuls Librarian (commission from 2007), and a Space Marine Chaplain, Space Wolf Lord, and Grey Knight Champion from 2005 (well before there were plastic options for any of these!).

Robot!

Build from plastic tubing and guitar string, with a plastic bead for an eye.

I had originally intended to build an army of these to run as Necrons in Warhammer 40K... but then I didn't do that.

Once upon a time, I built a stompa from two rhinos and a metric crapton of plasticard.

Sold it on eBay, so as with so many of my conversions from back in the day, I'll likely never know how it looks painted... :(
