Hi, I'm Grae. By day I work in stop-motion animation, by night I paint models. Mostly 40K, but I'm partial to a Gundam or anything cool, when the opportunity arises!

Right, gotta say that those colours on the board are not working for me at all! But in the process we trust, & once the gravel & sand have dried tomorrow, I can change the whole thing!

family health emergencies mean I've had to pull out from trading at tomorrow's Partizan in Newark. That's a big hit to cashflow so I've just put a 10% off code on the shop to grab some orders instead - use PARTIZAN10 at Checkout to qualify. I'll ship out existing show pre-orders on Monday!

Animators can be a strange bunch, shut away in a dark room, maybe getting up to 6 seconds of footage a week!

Thanks you!

Not my animation, that's an animator called Justin Rasch, but the scene ends with one of my Count Volpe puppets bursting out of the caravan!

Motion control combined with Stop-Motion is absolutely one of my favourite things!

Not only an excuse to fix your scratchbuilding itch, a chance to win our Lost Shores Oracle kit, too!

model of a ruined temple with a pool of water at its centre. a small group of bronze-age adventurers are beset by animated skeletons in greek armour and weapons.

unpainted shot of the same model kit in a different configuration of stacked and ruined columns surrounding the central sunken dais. there's a single 28mm-sized amazon miniature shown for scale.

box art shot of the same model with description - a 58-piece resin kit, 120mm tall.

This is a fascinating thread.

It occurs to me that the Doctor's polyethnic identity in recent times recontextualises Peter Davison's casting in quite an interesting way.
(For context, although you'd be unlikely to guess it by looking at him, Davison's paternal family is Guyanese. He has close relatives who are visibly Black.)

Peter Davison, a fair-skinned blond man, as the fifth Doctor, circa 1982.

I'd be surprised by Portland as a location. GDT has already gone out of his way to promote nascent studios, some of Pinocchio was filmed in Guadalajara. Paris feels like a good European location with close access to the Bristol, Manchester, London skills base. Barcelona too.

On School of Movies tonight: We kick of our Quentin Tarantino Director Season with an almighty bang. Django Unchained is an absolutely blistering black revenge fantasy by a white guy at the top of his game. Teeth-grinding tension and explosive comeuppance!

The usual battles with the airbrush, trust the process remains the name of the game!

(And buy a decent airbrush!)
