Got all the way to Plymouth before checking the decks - turns out my box doubled up the bastard Stormcast, and didn't have the Skaven. Luckily, I'd built and brought the dwarves and andalites, but we can't do a 4-player, which sort of sucks.

Mini of the month - terrain-ing day

Entry 6 by @captainhat.bsky.social

"Miyazaki KRE Transmissions (or, to those in the know, Big Laura's Trans Missions)."

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

Photo of a Hot Wheels scale (roughly 1/64ish) light industrial unit set up as a Gaslands team HQ/pit lane garage.

This is Myazaki KRE Transmissions (or to those in the know, Big Laura's Trans Missions), the main workshop of Kaiju Racing Enterprises, a Miyazaki racing team on the Gaslands circuit. It is modelled on the kind of standalone light industrial unit that you will find everywhere in the UK (and probably across Europe), with a brick-built first storey and a steel-framed and clad upper half. The unit has a personnel door to the right of the picture, labelled "Reception," and a large roller shutter to the left (both doors are painted grey).

The building sits on a large concrete plinth, separated into square blocks with expansion joints. The whole building is very run-down, with obvious rust issues on the upper parts of the building, cracked concrete on the forecourt, gravel aggregating against the walls and greenery sprouting from every crevice.

There is a sign above the roller shutter that says in metallic blue allcaps text with a blue drop shadow "Transmissions & Auto Repair - Customs - Racing" and has the Mastercard, Visa and anarcho-communist logos to the right of the sign. Over the reception window and door is a sign reading "Miyazaki - Service - Brakes - KRE Gaslands Racing Specialists" and a phone number- 01634- KAIJU-R.

In front of the forecourt is a protective divider, with its own kerb. On top of the divider is gravel and coarse grass.

There is apparently a race either on or about to start from in front of the garage, with a number of cars (including KRE's own Dwagon and Godzilla) lined up in front of it.

There are a number of cars parked around the garage, and just visible to the rear right of the image is a pile of half-stripped car bodies.

The main image (to the right) is is a rear quarter view of the garage showing the two sides not visible in the first image. More of the heavily-weathered walls and roof are visible, including patchy paint repairs here and there. There are two windows along the side of the building, and another two at the rear, between two additional personnel doors, both of which are grey with "No Entry" written on them in bright yellow all-caps. The concrete plinth has been ground down to provide a wheelchair ramp up to each door for accessibility (the weapons officer in one of KRE's cars is disabled, and Big Laura's quite sharp on accessibility).

On the left hand side of the building is a stand-pipe feeding the sink and boiler inside the building, as well as the drain pipe coming from the sink and a crude concrete drain leading away from the building. At the upper left of the image is a detail photo showing this stand pipe and drain, along with the door next to it.

On the right hand side of the building is another stand pipe with a tap on it, for use outside the building with a hose pipe (for cleaning cars etc). On the lower left is another detail photo, showing the stand pipe and the weeds that have grown up around its base.

This picture shows the interior of the unit.

At top left is an isometric view of the unit with the roof taken off and the office roof/mezzanine floor removed to reveal as much of the interior as possible. Some of the broad strokes are visible, including the two four-post lifts in the main shop, the mechanism for the roller-shutter door and some of the interior walls etc in the office; notable in this photo also is a set of fire extinguishers just inside the roller shutter on the far side of the entrance, though they aren't fully in focus.

Top centre is a top-down layout photo of the whole interior showing the forecourt to the left, office & reception bottom centre and the shop floor layout.

Top right is a top-down shot of the workshop area of the shop floor, showing the sink and boiler to the left, two tool chests and the work bench with pillar drill and bench grinder at the top, bin at top right and a low-entry trolley jack and a wheel balancing machine at bottom right.

Below the top centre and top right images in a row from L to R is a detail of the fridge under the sink (with "Stop Stealing My Cheese" written on it), a detail of the trolley jack, a detail of the bench tools and a wider shot of the whole shop floor from a lower angle.

Below that are two isometric shots of the workshop area from different angles (including one showing the ladder/stairs up to the mezzanine floor) and a detail shot of the sink, with one mug in the sink and one drying on the counter.

To the lower left are a number of detail shots of the office & reception area showing the clock, calendar, manager's desk with PC and screens, fire extinguishers, break table (including kettle, tea & coffee jars, sugar, mugs and one and a half plates of cookies) and reception desk with all-in-one printer/fax/phone unit.

To the bottom right of the image is a view upward into the rafters, showing two engine hoists mounted to solid beams and a number of fluorescent light fittings.

The modular wizards tower of Prin’Gl

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

The first picture is the single image showing the full tower and summoning circle next to it.

The final montage image shows two views of the balcony including hatch, and the garderobe in full detail.

The next montage picture shows the three components, along with details of the dormer window and well-used garderobe.

The second montage picture shows the steps to the main entrance, summoning circle and the components as two twin towers - Prin’Gl and N’Tell-ah

I read an interview with him, and he apparently got really into wrestling and transformers over COVID - as someone who regularly has his entire persona devoured by new hobbies (though less productively), i kinda sympathise!

I have been made aware of a Japanese cartoon man named “Vegeta.”

He screams himself into godhood, his hair achieving ever more operatic configurations. I confess — I admire him. Here is a creature who refuses the tyranny of restraint, who becomes incandescent through effort and rage.

I'm perpetually torn between wolves and wizards.

Super tempted to throw some Scars into the mix, too, and just have a renegade pile of rogue mystics in Shattered Legions...

No idea if it's legal, but you should definitely branch into harlequins and drukhari for a full-on apocalyptic space elf force.

Joined up already (despite not being 100% convinced), as I'm 0% sold on any of the other options round here/nationally. Would absolutely have considered signing on just for Zack explicitly acknowledging the Mail's best used for wiping your arse though.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 4d

And no - this article nor the independent - are as horrendous or as bitter as Jeremy Clarkson, Quentin Letts or the shitrag that is the Daily Mail.

But it's this insidious commenting on people's appearance in something pretending otherwise to be political commentary.

Do better. All of you.
