A couple of hours getting about 69% of the base coats onto my Deathwing Vanguard Vets. Lovely models.

I’m a grown-arse adult. Indeed, I’ve been one for a significantly longer time than I’ve been anything else. Yet. Why, do I always (always!) let my toenails grow until they can be reasonably described as talons before I take the five minutes out of my busy schedule to trim them????

Minor victory today, I can now fit into my favourite pair of cycling shorts for the first time since 2020. Still not entirely comfortable, but until not that long ago I couldn’t even get them over my hips!

My beloved went clothes shopping and left me unattended in the city centre.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Moderately important in-person meeting tomorrow so I thought I’d get a trim.

Ran into Stephen Miller yesterday in Night City. Things didn't go well for him.

If this is true, this person is my new hero.

Went to the gym and had a moderately intensive session two days in a row for the first time since, I think, my late twenties (so, at least 17 years ago...) I've a mountain to climb, but I'm nearing base camp.

Finished my Dark Angels Eradicator Squad yesterday.

Made a start on the Heavy Bolter Eradicators from the Armageddon box this evening. Lovely models.

Grateful if someone could please tell me what this part is on the Dark Angels upgrade sprue.

No shade at all on Warhammer Plus's Brainboyz Gameshow, but every time I'm watching it I feel it's about a step away from this: youtu.be/l28o6fJda1c?...

Didn’t think I’d need one of these for a while yet, but I’m about to (attempt at least) tackle more advanced 3D printing projects.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Needed a quick hobby win and palette cleanser after the Ork Boyz, so painted this Legion Apothecary this afternoon.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Finished the first squad of Boyz for my new Ork army.

This is the face of why getting fit again in one’s mid-forties is sooooo much harder than doing so in one’s mid-twenties. Who knew?

Whenever I see a Tesla on the road with a registration from 2024 or later, I always try to get a look at the driver so I can see what sort of cunt chose to buy/lease a Muskmobile after their ‘creator’ unambiguously revealed his true colours.

Finished the leaving gift for a work colleague today.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Spent a happy couple of hours deep cleaning and re-greasing my 3D printer. Suspect it needs a new nozzle as well but a set of those will arrive next week.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Popped to a way-too-hipster barber after work to get my face hedge taken care of before tomorrow’s work trip.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

oday I drove our houseguest to the airport. One was a lifelong friend of my wife and the other the friend's husband. Both utterly lovely people (massive nerds lots of things in common - general good times). But after four and a half days of constant masking I am sooooooooo tried and a bit weepy.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

This has taken me around four hours to get to this stage and there’s still at least two hours to go. This means I’ll be doing a full squad in around 12 hours. But hopefully things will speed up.

Took my wife into hospital yesterday as some of the stitches from her operation a few weeks ago became infected. Fortunately everything’s fine, she’s on a new course of antibiotics. Most importantly, as someone with a Nurgle/Death Guard army, I now have a bunch new of hi-def reference material 😉

Decided to honour the memory of John Blanche by picking up a print of one of my favourite works by him.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Finished this Ork Runtherd today.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Built, finally! Some gap-filling tomorrow morning, then onto the painting!

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Finished a Deathwing Terminator Squad today.

I’ve been painting minis for a bit over 33 years, and I genuinely think that this is the best brush I’ve ever used. I’ve used *better* and more expensive brushes, but this wee guy consistently produces results.

John Ferguson @jraferguson.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

This morning I had a bowel movement that I was really proud of. Good size, girth and texture. Then I discovered that the toilet’s cistern wasn’t filling with water…

Gained some Husband Points today! I’ve been wanting to surprise Becky with a replacement skull for ages but never was able to find the right one. Getting a 3D printer solved this problem 😀

Yesterday, I finished the first squad of Gretchen I’ve painted since 1994!

On my way to help facilitate a Recycling Code of Practice local authority workshop. Still feel massive imposter syndrome but at least I look the part for once!

Attended an event at work today where two poor souls tried to sell us on the benefits of using AI in our professional lives. Think I behaved myself quite well.

I spent many days as a wee Snotling playing 40K in Dundee and the surrounding area, hope people can help: www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/dund...

Scottish Gas engineer’s just finished swapping out our ten year old smart metres with brand new ones, took him ninety minutes. Chap was really friendly, at most 25 years old and looked like what you’d get if you shrunk Finn Russell in the wash!
