Thanksgiving 2021
Those of you that have been following my blog for a while will know that I like to take some time every year, on Thanksgiving (USA) to write a blog post where I express some of the things over the last year that I have to be thankful for.* The last few years have seen…
Venturing into Modelling Historicals – part 3
With the fuselage assembly completed, it was time to launch into the painting. I repeated the zenithal process I’d already performed on several of the individual parts.

Painting has provided many of us with something to focus on but it often spins into unhealthy cycles of competition. Instagram has provided a whole world of competition for likes, followers, engagements. It can become a dangerous cycle…
You\'re not painter without a brush, you ain\'t pirates without a ship!
Month 2 is upon us and I have a confession to make – I started this month\’s project early. Cheating I know but as you will see – there was a lot of work involved and at the start of the project I only had a hazy idea of what I was looking to achieve.…
It\'s a Pirate Dwarf for me
