From humble beginnings to the biggest 6mm show in the world! Had so much fun and met so many great people in the hobby over the last 12 years. The Joy of Six, 13th july in Sheffield. I will try to make an effort, perhaps you could do too by reposting this? More here www.joysofsix.co.uk

Just started reading this. I am only 100 pages in but it has me hooked already. You can say what you like about GW prices and their game rules and commercial practices but the 40K lore they’ve created and continue to expand through their Black Library is so atmospheric and entertaining.

Douglas Hill’s Last Legionary series got me into reading Sci Fi as a 10 year old. So good. A lone warrior from a destroyed world armed with an indestructible titanium skeleton and accompanied by his trusty alien pterodactyl on a quest for revenge against an evil empire.

Be a human being. Write badly. Draw badly. Make a mess. Make mistakes. Research. Think. Read.
But do the work yourself. Be original. Be odd.
Better yourself each time.
Grow as a person, as a writer, as an artist, as a musician, at the pace you grow at.
Do not sacrifice that to AI.

The 1/8 scale Deepcore miniature from the movie the Abyss. This was shot "dry for wet". Meaning it was shot on a stage and water effects were added in post. I'm in the gray hoodie doing a weathered wash on it. This and several other models were made at Design Setters, 1988/89. #miniaturesrule

Today is #BattleOfTheAtlantic Sunday.
From 1939–45, brave Canadians faced the longest battle of WWII—escorting convoys, braving U-boats, and turning the tide in the Atlantic.
They kept the sea lanes open.
They kept hope alive.
We remember them.

Had my first random bsky follow tonite. Not someone I know, not a bot but from their profile no obvious shared interests. Probably about to promote selling something so blocked. Ugh I hope this isn’t the start of a trend. 😩

When a game turns 30 years old and is still beloved by many, you know it was a winner!
Play it now in half scale with a revamped fully 3D set.
The tiles are updated to PLA prints which are lighter, sturdier and have helped bring the price down!
