This is a great version of a classic song. I suspect it will be on my play list for a while. youtu.be/VtfcZVw2p3E?...

I've been working on getting more efficient methods for storing my ever expanding collection. I think the solution for me is a full 3d printed system with removable magnetic trays. They are fully stackable as well.

Closer photo of ‘Boudicca’ 🎨 I probably spent more time on painting her than I should have, the patterns, tattoos and long hair took the longest. This is my first female bust. I was quite apprehensive at first but now I know I can do this, I am looking forward to painting lots more 😊 (Scale 1/10)🖌️

I managed to knock together a swage block stand this afternoon from some scrap wood left over from the shed build. #blacksmithing

A fairly modest haul form this year's #cancon. I have been waiting to get my hands on talking miniatures and the GDA rules for a while. The ww1 naval rules were my surprise find for the show. With some cheap age of sigmar battletech to round things out.

Spotted this #quar in the painting competition at my local show. Thought it was very nicely done and thought of all the quar officianados out there.

A few shots from a game of legions imperialis today. The lowlight for me was losing my reaver titan to a assualt marine detachment in close combat. #wargaming #warmongers #legionsimperialis

And so comes the end of my 9 day summer painting binge. Today I managed to get a fair way through a heavy lance for the kell hounds. In the last nine days I have finished 56 28mm miniatures and a unit of 30 10mm lizardmen. Not too bad if I say so myself. #paintslam25 #battletech #miniaturepainting

Summer painting binge day 8. It was too hot today to do much painting, the paint was drying on the brush. So I only finished off the next group of Austrians. That takes me to 30 miniatures painted so far this year. #paintslam25 #wargaming #miniaturepainting #napoleonic

I'm practicing extreme painting this morning it is so hot the painting is drying out within 5 minutes on the palette and I have to rinse the brush every few minutes to stop it drying in the bristles.

A question for the masses am I wrong in trying to paint the teeth on my 10mm scale lizardmen?

Happy #GravyDay everyone. For those who are not Australian gravy day comes from a off beat Christmas song by one of Australia's greatest singer-songwriter's paul Kelly. Have a listen below. youtu.be/iYqIF2XkqKU?...
