There's some real gems in the Citadel preslotta ranges. This mounted dwarf is great. Citadel horses are normally sculpted smooth, but this mountain pony has a shaggy texture. Brilliant.

Came home to find the storms had smashed over our giant buddleia. Meant I could spend half an hour pretending to be an Orc of Isengard. "The trees are strong, my lord. Their roots go deep."

It's launch day for Annie's new WW2 project! Go spread the word! Go pledge for some metal!

KICKSTARTER IS LIVE LET'S GOOOOOO! Civilian Dutch Resistance of WW2 in hand sculpted pewter casts? Yes please! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

Finished painting the classic Harlequin Doctor Who Nyssa miniature. The casting was a bit of a struggle, if you scroll back you'll see I stripped and restarted her more than twice. But I'm happy with the end result.

Also yes, I'm thinking of using a different red on the fists and the icon. I 100% blame @ontosgames.co.uk for this since I saw his fantastic Rogue Trader Crimson Fists that did that years ago and it rewrote something in my brain and now that's just how they need to look.

Recently found the best containers for my minis. Now I can more efficiently move and organize instead of having this lol

Can you think of any human from the 1980s Citadel range that would work well as a Knights of Harkness musician? Seems humans never really got command group releases like Orcs and Dwarfs and Skaven did.

Finally finished two other Citadel ADD69 Githyanki to go with the other. The one on the left was painted in 2004 (and rebased in 2025), the other two fully painted in October 2026. 😬 Not sure if I've actually got any better at NMM.

Made a minor tweak to Ontos' shipment tracking today, so it's one button for me to provide the tracking number and send the "order completed" email. I shall use these newfound seconds I'll save every day to SCULPT MORE MINIS.

The only ones I've painted "recently" are some Kruleboys... and an old Drilla Kan!
