Someone on a modelling forum I frequent showed off some Warhammer 40K figures a while back, and it got me buying kits to see how they'd progressed, and I finally got round to painting a few after a 40 year break.This is about my 5th one, and my favourite so far. A death Guard Plague Marine.

Got the PSU for my new (to me) Mac Mini G4 today. Cleaned it up, found it was a 1.5Ghz (1.42Ghz advertised) with maxed out RAM, and ran MorphOS on it for a short while. Might have a squint inside at the HDD and swap it for an mSATA later. #macminig4 #morphos #retrocomputing #retrocomputers

Built mine the other day, and received the 3D printed case today. Happy with that! I also found out about the weather radar option, so now have something to use the other parts for, as they were sold in pairs 👍

My haul so far in my attempt to build a replica Amiga A4000D, using a ReAmiga CR motherboard, and components sources all over the world. There’s an SFX PSU just off to the right, and a big mess of components on the way from Mouser to get me started on the soldering. Wish me luck!

Started playing with my GreaseWeazel floppy disk backup tool today, and after failing with the GUI, I tried the command line option, and got it working. Loaded the .adf into Winuae and it worked! I now need to find my old game backup disks to see the raw graphics for the first time in YEARS!

Job done. Didn’t know it only had around 4K of RAM available for basic. Mind you, I never really looked at the specs as it was old tech by then.

Got my latest purchases from Sordan.ie today, a PiStorm32 Lite (with my own Pi4 already installed), an SD HDD mount, and a couple of ROM pairs to give me some choices (all legal). Can't wait to get one or more of my A1200s up and running. #amigaforever #retrocomputers #retrocomputing #amigacomputer
