Crafts of many types, including silver jewellery, lapidary, book binding, watercolours and leather work to name a few. Also a fan of warhammer miniatures, Cornwall, Devon and Dorset. Pictures of all of the above will most definitely appear here.

First of the fusiliers shields is coming along. Lots of metallic paint next for the front, going to be a copper overload.

Evening meal is in the slow cooker, washing on, and there are miniature models that await painting. Got to love a Sunday.

Todayโ€™s wip, Captain of the freehelm steelguards. It is my own colour scheme.
Iโ€™m going to change the gold for copper I think.

So should I start making silver jewellery regularly again and post my pieces here?

What do you reckon?

Loved the TV series, And thoroughly enjoyed reading many of the books. Might just have to read them again.
Thanks for the reminder.

Thought Iโ€™d just build and the first of the fusiliers from #citiesofsigmar, see what they are like and workout build progress. I painted part of the shield before fitting its support leg.

Getting stressed trying to sort out my sonโ€™s insurance on his car. Hate dealing with them, they are quick enough to take huge sums of money off younger drivers but as soon as you want to claim they donโ€™t half drag it out.

I have finally got a whole squad built except shield arms(easier painting without them).
#citiesofsignar #ageofsigmar #warhammer #40k #modelmaking 3 minis are missing from this pic as they are fully painted.

I love visiting my family in Cornwall, However I always feel depressed when the time comes to say goodbye, packing the car is the worst bit, And driving home, I really donโ€™t want to leave. I love house I live in, But I donโ€™t want to return to it. However once Iโ€™m home Iโ€™m fine. Help I need to move.

While driving between St Just and St Ives there are #Cornish engine houses from the mining days stood in ruin on the side of the road. And on a rainy day are just asking for to be #photographed, So yes I stopped. I love these seeing these #ruins about the county.

Hahaha Iโ€™ve managed to do 3 links of track this weekend thatโ€™s sums up my model making. I have now found a way to do this very fiddly process for me a bit easier.

Think two whole tracks is going to take a while. Love Miniart detail but the part count is crazy.

Itโ€™s probably because I love to finish stuff with as good a paint job as I can(Iโ€™m not great at it) so under arms etc I still like to get it looking as good as I can. So separate arms etc I like. But then having things like guns,bags etc as loose items can be a pain.

I know what you mean, however on the other side of the coin single piece minis are a pain to paint for me.

Thatโ€™s going to be delicious with a large mug of tea.
