Latest build. Speed Champions Back to the Future Time Machine. Lovely quick build that looks good and didn’t cost much. Really happy with it. :) #lego

Haha, thanks. I’ve ordered these as frankly I’m terrified of using the knife again!

This is why you cut away from the body. Lucky I didn’t do more damage here. On the mend and taking a brief breather from the splint. Did this trying to remove support material from a #3dprint

Paint pens are a revelation for Legions Imperialis. Just want to quickly get the units done without mega detail. So easy! #wargaming #modelling #warhammer

Loving Donkey Kong Bananza. On to the third layer having collected 100% of bananas and fossils. It’s a lot of fun. :) #donkeykong #nintendo

Hoping this opening ceremony isn’t indicative of things to come… just rubbish #glastonbury2025

Printed a holder for the Switch 2 joycon for mouse mode. Feels pretty good. Just need a game that actually uses mouse controls now! Model I uses is here makerworld.com/models/1455279

At Creg-ny-Baa for the start of TT racing at last. Weather looking good for the whole day. :) #iomtt #tt2025

I figure this should be conclusive for MAGAloons. Their leader is a proven liar. Check out his tattoo. No arguing with that!

Almost working. Some dodgy soldering to fix, but mostly sorted! :) #

A lot of soldering done. Hopefully it actually works, but still a way to go before I can check that! #startrekmodels #warpcore #3dprinting

Done some soldering (first time for a very long time. It’s passable I think…) #startrekmodels

Been a little while since I printed anything, but I'm just writing the script for my Lego Onyx Cinder review and thought it'd be nice on a stand... #LegoStarWars #StarWarsSkeletonCrew #3DPrinting
