Yay! I'm back! (Well, that should be 'booo' I suppose as it's back to early morning rises for work!) 😩 Anyway, let's have a quick refresher as to what's on the workbench so I can crack back on with the ongoing projects. The first thing is
Yep, doing a unit of figures (even a small one) is taking time, so I reckon it will still take something like another week of spare time to finish my first 'Invasion Mars, 1899' unit. Sorry, I'm a slow painter. I have made some progress on

Well, I got this little mixed bag of characters completed. Mixed is the key word here, as I have mixed feelings about this latest series of 3D printed 'pegs'. 😕 Three out of the four are original prototypes which were early 3D test prints,…
Just when I think I've done with prototype figures I think of another issue - 'but what if I...?' 😑 So this week I am doing a bit of house cleaning as I am finishing off a couple of my early 3D printed prototypes, trying out adding another…
