I'm selling my Neatfi lamp if anyone wants it before I list it on ebay. Going on for £60, but will do £50 for a fellow hobbyist. (Not sure how much postage will be, haven't even found a box for it yet).

This quote pist is the sign that also you can paint board game minis too! (It's not all Warhammer and wargaming)

Picked up a lino cutting/printing kit to have a go and it's good fun. Pretty happy with this as a first proper go

Have you tried these Scale 75 ones? I'm not a brush licker, but they smell like vanilla so surely must taste of it too...

Here's a little preview of what I've been working on for Gundam Builders World Cup! There's also a flight pack, but now it's on to finishing the base and doing the electronics.

It's disgraceful and affects all preferences. Can't look at Cocks either.

Cool, scan your face to access messages to your friends. Good job everyone involved, this is working perfectly.

"We need to protect kids online and stop them accessing violent pornography!" "Also please scan your face to continue looking at your feed of bird photos" The OSA is so poorly thought out and implemented, it's ridiculous.

The new best thing about playing the original Final Fantasy games I never played (I - VI) is matching up scenes to the new MTG cards
