Photo of a finished model. Featuring two gothic novel era women with their hair in messy buns.

The figure on the right is very demure and "Jane Eyre" in appearance, but is recoiling back as the female vampire (similar garb, more flowy sleeves) is diving in towards her neck, pinning "Jane"'s hand back to her shoulder with her grip.

Their bodies are pressed together as they entangle

Oh! One final photograph. The reason the model was posed on top of a mirror in some shots was so I could get this photo of the whole of the underside (flipped vertically and horizontally for readability). #Crafty #Spitfire #IronMaiden #AcesHigh

The underside of the wings with the text "Iron Maiden" printed on it's starboard ring, and "Aces High" on it's port side under wing - in place of the usual roundels.

A standing and sitting pilot Eddie. Weirdly, seated Eddie has "pockets" on his thighs like modern fighter pilots. So I've gone with with, even tho it's VERY not period appropriate. #Spitfire #Revell #IronMaiden #AcesHigh #Eddie #Crafty

Standing pilot on a 35mm base. He's wearing a leather jacket, with a life vest over the top (weirdly).

He's got a zombie/mummy face, as Eddie from the Iron Maiden album cover art. Otherwise normal body weight.

Eddie this time seated, his right hand is thrown up giving a V for victory sign.

He's wearing brown leather flying gloves in this one, but missing his leather jacket.

Got some good grime going on now. Judging by the reference photos, the oil should be a LOT darker, and more of it, so I might play with making my own oil mixtures... or will probably just leave it like this. #Crafty #Spitfire #IronMaiden #AcesHigh #Revell

The underside of the Iron Maiden Access High Spitfire, the centre is heavily stained with a "tea brown" oil leaking from the usual suspect (intake just under/behind the engine cowling).

The landing gear is down (or pointing up, as the plane is upside down on it's back showing it's underside).

There's also some black dust weathering from the gun ports and the cartridge ejection ports in the wings.

Panel liner applied to the underside of one wing. I'm liking the way it is looking for once. Subtle enough it's not obvious, strong enough that it's obviously different to the unlined side. #Revell #Spitfire #IronMaiden #AcesHigh #Crafty

Photograph of the underside of the 1:32 Revell Iron Maiden Spitfire.

The port wing (on the right in this photo) has had a Tamiya Dark Grey panel liner washed over it.

It's looking a lot more varied in tone and "real" than the other wing, as yet unwashed. Both wings had underpainting done for both panel lines and colour variances, which are so just visible and definitely better than a "solid" colour, but the panel line wash has definitely lifted it to the next level.

A bust figurine of Trump as an ork wearing a blue suit, with a swastika arm band visible.

It is mounted on a base of a waving flag depicting "Old Glory", except the stars have been replaced by a white swastika, at 45°, on the blue backing.

Behind Trump is a technical looking sci-fi device with a Adolforc head atop it.

Across the front of the base is the word "Erblast" painted in a typical German 30s typeface.

The same shot as the previous model, except the head positions have been swapped.

Now Adolforc is complete, with Trump's head behind on the contraption.

Similar to the first photo, with Trump back as the complete bust - now with the "glass and brass" cover over Adolforc's head, in true classic Frankenstein style steampunk equipment look.

Heads reversed again. Closer look at Trump's head inside the glass tube.

[Nazi orc head] Hmm. Turns out I should've measured my height tolerances before randomly kitbashing something cool looking together 🤣 I've had to dig out half the height of the platform already, which hides almost all the cool stuff... and makes life a lot more challenging....

Adolforc's head, inside a jerry-rigged tube frame. In order to fit his head inside the "glass" section, all but the very top of the previous SciFi contraption is hidden.

A circular base, held on the fingers of one hand, so slightly larger than the palm of a hand.

Top left corner is a a blue square, with a white swastika symbol offset at the military 45° diamond angle. The rest of the base is painted in red and white stripes, depicting "Old Glory" (or "the stars and stripes" / "stars and bars" US flag), as it was shown in the series "Man in the High Castle" (a fictional alternate reality set where the Nazis beat the Americans to the nuclear bomb, and won WW2, dividing America between them and the Japanese. Well worth a watch if you haven't (it's on Amazon Prime)).

The base undulates like a flag in the wind.

A Kromlech KRBU001 Ork pilot bust.

It's looking straight into the camera.

Knowing that the Imperium is the fascist future regime, i decided to go with a WW2-era "Western allies" pilot (as clearly that's who was fighting against the fascists back then).

He's front on facing the camera, with standard green ork skin, but a very unhealthy pink/ red lips. He's wearing a sheepskin lined leather flying jacket, a checkered neckerchief and flying goggles perched atop his forehead.

He's mounted on a base with grass tufts visible, and an orkish tracked vehicle with 3x ww2 style green bombs stacked on it.

His eyes are standard humanoid blue (think "Paul Hollywood" if you've seen The Great British BakeOff) with round pupils

A view from his left (about his 10 o'clock) showing he is also wearing a leather flying helmet(cap).

A view from his right side (about his 3 o'clock).

Not much more is revealed here, except a slightly better view of the tracked bomb vehicle

A view from higher up, looking down onto the base to show various bits of ork-decorated aerial vehicle parts, with lots of nuts & bolts holding repair panels in place and rust.

Okay. #Viking valkyrie/ female warrior has been finished. Rather than a plain base, or a continuation of the model, I decided to do a small vignette of a crossing instead. I quite like this idea and might use it more in future... #Crafty #MiniaturePainting

Photo taken from about her 11 o'clock, in a high position, set so she's looking down the camera lens.

Photo from her 4 or 5 o'clock, at the same height, showing her shield slung over her back.

Standard front on view, slightly high, so the base is also in frame.

She's a female appearing warrior. Leaning against her left shoulder is a long spear, the point higher than her helmet.

Her helmet is very embellished, it has a sharp metal spike in the middle, and very tall winged sides. It's been painted to be a chrome steel helmet, with bright gold decorations.

She's wearing a leather corset, and many leather belts. On her arm is a bandage, with blood showing a long cut across her wrist/ forearm under it.

A close up of the vignette base, showing a Viking longship crashing through the waves.

The sail is a classic red/white vertical striped affair with a black raven painted wings out spread in the middle.

Behind the boat are three small snow-covered granite outcrops.

Close up of her face. She's looking upwards, with a very worried expression. Her eyes are green, and she's (currently - still debating if I'm going to add any) not wearing any makeup.

She is missing the top of her head - as this will be covered by her hair, and then an octopus, later on.

Full shot of the entire figurine. There's a white cylindrical base that she's on.

Her figure is from bottom of ribcage upwards, and is dripping thick black liquid which is active as a support.

Her right breast (she is cartoonishly well endowed) contains a rectangular socket for a seating plug of the octopus.

There is a tentacle coming down between her breasts and looping around her left breast, deforming it slightly into _even perkier_ shape.

Photograph of the entire model from her 3 o'clock.

Photo of the entire model from her 11 o'clock, showing the wrapped tentacle - and her right nipple is pointed pretty much directly at the camera.

The odd shape of the top and back of her head is very visible here, where the hair pieces will attach.

View from the right side of the model, which is the front of the bike (as it is positioned going left to right across the frame).

There are four radiator grills visible on the front, two large ones either side of the mainline, and two smaller ones on the outside of the body. The mainline ones are painted glowing red, the outer ones glowing cancerous green. The glow effects are my first attempt, so not very good.

The shape of the front is a very Art Deco futuristic shape.

Underneath the bike is a swirling dust cloud acting as a stand for the bike at an angle.

A view from about 1 o'clock horizontal of the jet bike (about 10 o'clock from the front of the model).

The body frame of the bike is a metallic red. This angle shows the bike has some wooden ski skids underneath, and a brown leather seat.

Some hints of a large jet engine are visible under the seat.

View from the back side, showing the back of the engine, with both the engine fins and separate exhaust attacks with heat bluing evident (again, first attempt at this, and over-done).

Swirling dust cloudv stand also visible at the bottom left of the image

All four photos are of the same figurine.

It's a bust, from the bottom of the rib cage upwards, without arms.

The model is a ridiculously over-endowed woman (the sculpter had clearly never encountered large breasts "in the wild" - and only seen very poor silicone implants) with unfeasibly perky breasts.

She's got a Bandana around her head, is looking down to her right, and is wearing a Royal Navy coat, in the style of the 1600s.

She's looking very pale, like she's been scared to death, or is a vampire. The photo is taken from about 2 o clock high.

Close up of her face, looking directly at the camera.

Her nearly black hair is slicked back from her forehead, her right hand holding the back of her neck with wet hair cascading over it.

Her left hand sits on her left shoulder, and her gaze is a cross between demure, brazen, and defying.

She has blazing bright blue eyes, and a very pale complexion.

I knew those COVID RAT waste bags were going to be good for _something_. Turns out, they're perfect for holding my basing materials once I've opened the original sealed plastic bags they came in. The "zip-lock" tops are great for resealing them. #modelling #reuse #recycle

3 zip lock bags, containing various basing materials. On the bags is printed:
"Rapid Covid-19(Antigen)
Self-Test
Waste Bag"

In the left bag is Geek Gaming Scenics "Base Ready, Large Rocks". In the middle is their "Desert Sand and Stone", and the right most bag is their "Tropical Beach". This bag has the price tag from the original bag attached to it.

The bags are lying on a kitchen worktop, very similar in colour to the Tropical Beach basing materials.
