Old enough to know better, young enough not to care ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All my interests under one roof including
video games, guitars, cars and model making
Been distracted by managing my neck pain the last few weeks but I've not been slacking on the painting. Here's a recap

This was a big one for me. AC2 is the reason I bought an xbox 360 and I've always loved the swashbuckling, fiery Ezio. It took 9 months of learning how to print & paint to feel ready for a challenge this detailed. I'm delighted with the result 🦅

Hey Raph, would you rather fight one ninja-sized turtle or 4 turtle-sized ninjas?"

Good news, everyone! This week you'll be delivering this singer to the planet Vocaloid 7....

More #3dprinting and painting. Enjoying the continued variety

Want to help keep me sane while I work though back/neck rehab? Suggest a character for me to paint.

This week's prompts were #sailormoon and #futurama

Characters work best as realism and my 3d printer don't see eye to eye!

Really pleased with my painting progress. Starting to understand character lines and details. First attempt at anime-style eyes went way better than expected

A shiny Charizard has appeared!

Vallejo's metallic paints are so good. Made bringing this boo to life a breeze

This week's model making menagerie:
- Sanding blocks printed (super useful)
- John Wick painting progress
- Gundam Hello Kitty print

That dangerous moment when your paint pot water turns into forbidden tea.

Gotta pop the kettle on and keep this well away from my mug!

Fun fact: If you buy enough boxes filled with Gundams you can build another one out of them.

I think I'll call it the BX-78

Ironman has an important message for those playing Marvel Rivals. Season One has started.

When life gives you boxes it turns out there's better things you can do than recycle.

My first time trying anything like this. The template I used had nothing to do with Ironman but once I'd got it head shaped it just looked the right way to go.

It's not been the healthiest of starts to 2025 (yay, chronic illness 😵‍💫) but building this HG Sandrock has definitely cheered up my day

The more of the Wing series I build, the more I appreciate the design cues each gundam has.

The new Wallace and Gromit is excellent. So many good references in the main action but it's always the little details that get me

A Family Christmas tradition is playing "Go for Broke" a board game where your aim is to lose a million.

This isn't the start of the game, it's the end... I made 105k. Task successfully failed 🤦😅

Shit Just got Real Grade!

My challenge for 2025 will be learning how to accurately place a bazillion tiny decals without losing my mind

Bought the Akira bike and thought it'd be rude not to attempt the iconic slide. Ratings on a scale from choom to nova?

Meet the JX-198 Hornet, my first customised Gundam. Inspired by my favourite 90s F1 livery, Jordan's Buzzin & Hornets design from '98.

The base was an EG Gundam Lah, the head was from HG Earthree (modded) and the IWSP & Gunshield came with HG Rouge MSV.

Yatta! Gunpla parts from Japan. Not quite overnight but really fast and friendly service by FromNippon shop on eBay.

Delighted I found this as not available locally. I can complete my collection of HG Gundam Wing suits 🤖

Could I offer you an Umbreon in these introductory times?

My 3d printing and model painting arc started in the summer and its been a blast.
