I work with people who were born after I started working at the company - they frequently remind me of this fact. 🀨

If my knees didn't ache so much in the cold weather, I'd hunt them down...

Have you actually "hobbied" if you haven't superglued yourself to a plastic pot, covered your floor in dust and little offcuts, and got polyfilla on your trousers?

Thank you! BSkys photo cropping hasn't done me any favours... πŸ€¨πŸ˜–πŸ˜†

Front view, dark blue and white colour scheme. Heavy grime and rust. Back view, dark blue and white colour scheme. Heavy grime and rust. Really happy with the rust on the satellite dish. Pre-painted model - torch body, legs from split raw plugs, and a toy satellite dish. Drill bit is a screw glued to a plastic cylinder

A geological probe droid - it's going to be an objective marker for games of Space Weirdos, etc. A long forgotten relic that has valuable information stored inside.

I frequently switch the sound off and put BBC Radio 5 Live on another device - and the pundit rage subsides πŸ‘πŸ»

I feel like they could have been a bit more random techy and cable-y (technical terms πŸ˜†), but glad you like them πŸ‘πŸ»

Totally agree. I buy the odd interesting GW model, and play less mainstream or indie games with non-GW models + my existing collection. It's as much a principle thing as it is financial now.

Thank you! The hover-bots are a bit simplistic, the bodies should be a lot more detailed really, but they'll look fine on the table πŸ‘πŸ»

Hah! ...you'd think we'd get better at it, but no - 35 years in the hobby and still gluing myself to stuff πŸ˜–πŸ˜†

Balls - Alt Text. One tall building, based around a disposable coffee cup, with loads of random junk glued to it. One shorter "storage tank" type building made from a dessert pot with a few bits glued to is. CD bases, primed in grey.

Two of the next things to be painted - I managed to glue myself to both projects more than once... πŸ˜–

youtube.com/watch?v=bW6B... - I have no idea why I love this YouTube channel so much, I think it's because it's just so soothing and positive. This episode really spoke to me.

I've had to go to the gym first, then I get a coffee - apparently it's good for me 🀨

Thank you! I learned from Bill Making Stuff on YouTube that if you "layer" stuff on top of stuff (technical explanation πŸ˜†) it stops looking like "recognisable" junk

It's painted! Went for a Star Wars scheme, and had loads of fun with chipping and streaking grime 😎
