So, this here is a special one - G2 Soundwave

@asorohanart did this amazing design a few years back before he passed, and I've worked with the amazing Shins of the Wreckers and @camzilla51 to make it a reality.

Fixed the bathroom sink taps this week. I've got these cool decayed internal bits now that are crying out to be reworking into weird wargaming terrain.

Peter Brian painted a squad of Space Dwarfs and he kinda just snowballed into a full review and mad pining for the first CD he ever bought (until I sent round Rambo).

I'm really excited for Katherine's new song. Promises to be very of the moment.

Big news...my new single 'Matches' arrives on the 8th of October, the first spark in a new chapter. Please pre-save it now - it helps me out and also means you'll get it the second it's released. So excited to be releasing new music again!

Couldn't think of a use for the leftover Armada Wheeljack pieces – until I found that in Magic: the Gathering, Slicer got given his deco. Just need to find an Earthrise Wheeljack now. (And a use for Earthrise Wheeljack's torso.)

Armada Universe Wheeljack (Deluxe Class), with Clampdown's head. Against a yellow wall.

Slicer's Magic the Gathering card, showing him with Armada Universe Wheeljack deco, complete with slashed Autobot crest on the torso.

Oh no! I think you said that last time tooO!

Chris, Ontos Games @ontosgames.co.uk · 6d

The print's 6mm thick, and it's solid. I put car body resin on top of the print so I could get it sanded smooth.
