let's be honest, one of many reasons why certain people desperately wanted us to.

It would be a shame if @alexhorne.bsky.social didn't see this...

Just saying...

I think it is important for you to know this, and I suspect I might get in trouble if she finds out. But Matilda has been my daughter's comfort movie ever since we introduced her to it around the age of 2. I know for a fact it is her most watched thing.
You have made her life a better place. Thanks.

Thanks, I’m enjoying painting larger scale models. These are from @weprintminiatures.com

I’ve been using them all weekend. They’re lush.

So with Tau I can get it down to 6.

Coldstar commander
Broadside
Riptide
Storm surge

No enhancements, 995 points.

I really need to get around to putting some transfers on Arial... But I don't know if I should do panel lining first... and that scares me.

My super exciting box of Ruby’s signature six paint brushes. They’re next to a keyboard.

A miniature of Nicole Demara from Zenless Zone Zero, she’s barely painted.

A close up picture of Nicole’s leg trying to show the very simplistic glazing on her stocking on her left leg. I’m proud of it.

A miniature of Anby Demara from Zenless Zone Zero. She’s barely painted but is still my favourite character in the game.

So then, inspired by @roguehobbies.bsky.social video about glazing and my new Ruby Brushes from @rubyspaintstudio.bsky.social

I know that I need some more smoothing on Anby’s cheeks and stomach, but I’m quite happy with how Nicole’s sheer stocking is turning out.

Thoughts?

ok, so watched all the way through, and the video is brilliant, thank you. I'm probably going to have to revisit to try and understand glazing faces, but I think I understand enough to try something now.

Watch out for results!

Yeah, I'm thinking a Catachan Command Squad...

I knew I could rely on you.

It’s on the list to watch, if it has more detail than “consistency of milk” then this is already winning.

I can’t recommend this store, these artists or these brushes highly enough. And it’s a great giveaway.

Ye Shunguang is a brilliant character, I like her a lot.

I was hoping to be able to use the guaranteed S rank to get Silver Squad Anby... but I don't think I'm going to get enough polychrome to get the pull...

oh, there is a LOT more to catch up on. But bring tissues for all of the season 2 section, they really brought a lot of emotion to the story!

Just finished a new playthrough of Tomb Raider from the reboot. And I'm still blown away by how incredible the game is, how much I get lost enjoying the incredible story and phenomenal graphics.

Thank you @rhi.bsky.social , I love the game, and I'm off to play Rise next.

OMG, the wings turned out so perfect!

A 3d printed miniature of Anby Demara from the game Zenless Zone Zero, currently unpainted.

A 3d printed miniature of Nicole Demara from the game Zenless Zone Zero, currently unpainted.

I admit it, I’m weak, but I’m my defence @weprintminiatures.com had a sale and I saw my best girl Anby from #ZZZ.
I couldn’t leave her without her best girl…
So anyway, next painting adventure will be Anby and Nicole and I’m quite excited!

Master Percival is a kitbashed aggressor captain in bone white armour with a large power sword in their right hand. They stand on a lace themed base and are resting the tip of the sword on a rock.

Interrogator Chaplain Bedevire is standing atop a black rock on an unfinished lava base. They wear aggressor armour and have a long handled Crozius Arcanum in the right hand. From their backpack a brightly coloured banner with black trim is hanging from a cross pole. They have a lurid scar across their right eye and an artificial left hand. This is a marine who has seen some serious action.

Some painting success for this #nerdling.

Master Percival of the 7th Company (known as Percy due to the limited skills of the artificer painting names on their armour) and interrogator chaplain Bedevire (nearly based).

Thanks to @dawnellenhodgson.bsky.social for naming Percy!

Simply stunning. There's something very special about wearing clothes or outfits that you've made with your own hands isn't there?

These photos look incredible though.

She looks incredible! great work, I really love the reflections points on her eyes!

Little bit more work on some dark angels this week. Got one more big question now.

What am I going to try and do with the chaplain’s back banner?

There’s kudos available if you can work out which kit the feathers on the master are from.

#nerdlings

The miniature of Belial, master of the Deathwing. He’s in standard colours but unfinished.

A kitbashed Gravis Master of the Dark Angels. He wears bone white armour with a large sword and a red left fist with a gun. Entirely unfinished.

Also been making some progress on my Dark Angels. A bit of Belial, but also my Gravis Master kitbash.

#nerdlings

A samurai style miniature in a cat mask painted with purple flesh and red armour with gold details. It is very much a work in progress.

It’s been a bitty weekend for painting. But I picked up the brushes and made a little tiny bit more progress on my @weprintminiatures.com pile. This one is fun to experiment on.

That sounds sub optimal… have you checked the fuse?

OK... so bear with me... Last week @andycruns.bsky.social showed us a short story, and I loved it... and it finally pushed me into writing a story that had been bubbling in my head for a while.

I enjoyed writing it, but I'm a bit nervous about showing my writing to others. Anyway, hope you like it.

your painting is so good!
