Mostly posting about printing and painting sci-fi & fantasy miniatures. Mainly Warhammer 40k, but easily distracted. Also, the occasional post on dodgy old motorcycles & Scottish Football banter.

On the other hand, I've managed to build and paint a load of other things in the meantime ๐

My current steed, a Triumph Speedmaster 865. Basically a Triumph Bonneville in different factory trim to make it into a mini chopper. A radical departure from my usual tall "adventure" style bikes of recent years, but I thoroughly enjoy the different riding style.

When a friend of mine died his widow gave me a box of books. Inside one I came across a pack of photos.
These are obviously of some sort of amateur railway enthusiasts. Other than that, I have no idea where or when they were taken, but I thought that Iโd share them anyway.
Fingers crossed.

In case anyone might be interested.
I did a quick search and it seems legitimate, but do your own research before proceeding.
I love the fact they obviously don't understand how a monarchy works. You don't get to vote on it.

He seemed rather deflated when I said that I knew it was, and that I lived lin Edinburgh where it was brewed.

Get โborn againโ which, apparently, wipes out all the shit you used to get up to and you start over with a clean slate. You can then criticise those doing what you used to do and as a nice bonus join the r/w grift machine.
Hallelujah and pass the ammunition.
Iโm waiting on the gigantic robot squirrel to distract us all. Itโs going to have to be a doozy.

Probably, but if experience has taught me anything, it will more likely be about 30 seconds after I go to the toilet.
