With the recent influx of new followers I thought I'd re-introduce myself, I'm ExplosiveFlorist. I convert and kitbash a lot and might well be incapable of assembling a mini normally.

Thank you all so much for following my hobby journey and it's amazing to see the community flourish in Bluer Skies

A bit more progress on the Caestus with the two Assault Bays now dry-fitted and with one of the two doors rehinged.

Since the top plates come off the bay I've added a cross bar to add structure.

I've started to assemble the Caestus Assault Ram. While I definitely needed to sand down some parts and will need to fill some gaps later it's coming together well so far.

Through 3d printing, I now finally own a vehicle I've wanted for a while but couldn't due as it was OOP.

Any guesses as to what I might be? There's a hint in my #hobbygoals for this month

Made a bit more progress on the Dark Angels Contemptor Dreadnought, adding a flamer to the arm as well as an Oath of Moment scroll wrapped around the handle of the blade.

I'll be finishing a few more projects before the end of the year including the Grimdark Card Challenge, Red Gobbo and Assembling my new Caestus Assault Ram alongside the new Darkwater Box.

I'll also be organising my project in preparation for next year.

Finally got around to finishing the final few touch-ups on the second Iron Warriors Boxnaught. I also filled in some gaps on the Dark Angels Contemptor with cables

I spent some time this weekend working on another Tyrant Siege Terminator Concept, I think I like this one much more than the Cobra Pattern (which I may adapt into Lernean Terminators for a future Alpha Legion Force)

My mini for the Grimdark Card Challenge is now basically complete, I'll have a look if I want to make any more touch-ups once I've primed the mini and can see everything in cohesion

Now the video is out I can post the Rainbow Warrior art I did for use in it (and for the thumbnail). Wanted to do something that both fit in with the modern vibe of 40k, but was also harking back to the Rogue Trader days.

Which I of course interpreted to mean 'beakie primaris'.

Found this Rogue Trader Terminator made into a keyring. I plan to repaint him, just not 100% sure as what yet.

I think I may turn him into a Dark Angel Herald for my Horus Heresy Force.

With the recent reveal of the new Berehk Stornbrow mini, I knew I wanted to make a version in the style of my Dwarf Miner Beserks and I managed to find the perfect mini, so here's an initial mock-up.

I had a busy few days but managed to build this year's Red Gobbo Mini. I kept the bag unassembled for now since I'll be painting the inside of it, not sure if I'll magnetise it or just stick it together after though.

An experiment making a "Cobra Pattern" Tyrant Siege Terminator inspired by one of the old RT era prototype terminators. The base stl is by Skeaze on Cults3D and I added the missile launcher.

Made some more progress on the Dark Angels Dreadnought finishing the legs and his base.

The new shoulder blocks came out well sans a few imperfections, nothing some effort or paint won't fix/hide.

Since the Contemptor kit only has two and the resin Dark Angels Contemptor doesn't come with any I need to make some copies of the shoulder blocks using Oyumaru moulds and a GS/Milliput mix

Brother Oliverus. He's the first mini I ever painted, painted with some craft paints we found in old school supplies which were unopened but at least 10 years old. I'm working on getting different paints, don't worry.

In preparation for the Grimdark Card Challenge Mini as well as the Dark Angels Contemptor(s) I decided to prepare some more greenstuff pipes, cables and ducts.
