Quite impressed by an initial go with these things…the full set is about £62 for 34 of them…anyone gone all in…might be really useful for small parts and details perhaps…🤔?

I’m not remotely religious (or young) but have just ordered this new book by Lamorna Ash on the basis that it sounds interesting and that her previous book (5 years ago!) was absolutely superb (I’d really, really recommend it)…🤷‍♂️😊

WIP on some sunflowers and some chickens…both need some matte varnish and bit more fiddling with I suspect…

I think I’m going to have to get these to have a play with…it’s getting to the point where I enjoy painting this sort of thing more than regular ‘kits’…🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Mucking about with an attempt at a dripping paint brush by drilling a small hole in its bristles, adding some thin plastic rod and a dose of sprue glue to make it a bit more interesting. The figure needs more work obvs…it’s just an AK plastic one so not the best either…🤷‍♂️😊

Another new book has landed and this one even references both Airfix and prog rock…I mean what more can a person of a certain age wish for…🤷‍♂️😊🥃

A thought about politics & SM…after engaging to some extent over a few years I just reached the conclusion that there is no point…there isn’t a sensible discussion to be had on SM about politics, it’s just a horrible shouting match & mostly a sewer of ego & lies…so I have 99% disengaged…🤷‍♂️❤️

Yes I know I’m no figure painter but I’m trying…lots to still work on and they, of course, will be far less than anything approaching good but will serve a purpose on a diorama at least…😊🤷‍♂️

A report from someone who is still on X for the scale models and the books…the scale models are doing pretty well, the books sort of…everything else is pretty much a hundred times worse than when you left X if you did…it is awful…🙄❤️
