Mostly posting about printing and painting sci-fi & fantasy miniatures. Mainly Warhammer 40k, but easily distracted.
Also, the occasional post on dodgy old motorcycles & Scottish Football banter.

I find building models quite thereaputic, which might account for the huge amounts of stuff in my painting queue.
This is a "Wolverine" tank in plastic from Archon Studios and is a reasonable proxy for a Leman Russ. Only change I made was addition of some printed sponsons to beef it up a bit.

Still some work to be done on these lads, too.

A pair of lovingly restored MZ TS250s at a rally in Ireland. A very basic 250cc two-stroke commuter bike manufactured in Zschopau in the former DDR. I have owned somewhere in the region of a dozen of these fine little bikes.

Put the finishing touches to this lad this morning. One of a number of Alpha Legion figures I completed this weekend, most of which had been sitting in a box part-completed for ages.

Saturday:
Dig out some unfinished APCs.
Decide on a tank too, so grab one of them.
Hunt for some printed greebles.
Find bunch of printed bases.
Remember that I have the minis for these bases.
Minis located, just need some detailing.
That's how I finished 6 Alpha Legion figures for #Guardvember🤦♂️

I posted a picture recently of a Morris Minor Traveller I’d spotted out & about. A friend, always keen to go one better, sent me this. It’s a 4x4 pick-up which he reckons is a Suzuki chassis and running gear.

What would you get if you took some plague marines, scraped all the Death Guard iconography off, added some 3D printed bits and painted them up as Iron Warriors?
You'd get some seriously chunky-ass marines is what.

Recent find. Some night shots around Glasgow city centre taken for an art project in 1982. War memorial in George Sq, Theatre Royal & Wellington statue sans traffic cone outside former Mitchell library.

I like the cleanliness of old Ork vehicles and recently found a decent file to allow me to print off and add a Grot Bomb Launcha, a Forge World model long out of production, to the army.

Thanks. Started with Orks originally so I decided to start building up some of the old stuff I’d been hoarding for years. They’re not doing anyone any good sitting in a box in my attic.
