Afternoon all, I managed to apply some blood effects to the butcher's block/stone for the dwarf kitchen scene yesterday.
Got some barrels and buckets from the Dead Man's Hand Boardwalks set to add to the scene, now I just need to make some entrails to pop in the bucket. If you pop in over the weekend and find I'm stuck together with Milliput, that will be why.

Morning all, hope everyone is well. I've got a hospital appointment this afternoon so I'll be closing the shop at 14:30, sorry for any inconvenience. Back to normal opening hours tomorrow.

While I'm here I will most likely be trying to work out the best placements for the figures to go into the dwarf kitchen. I also need to make a wand for the Wizard Pig and add some gore to the butcher's block, blood effects paints to the rescue.

Update on the dwarf kitchen, the walls are up. Now I've got to try and make things out of milliput to represent different foods. I'm thinking I might try to make some dwarf bread but I suspect sausages will be the limit of my sculpting skill. (Roll out skinny milliput worm, pinch bits to suggest links in the sausages and then hide in the corner so no one can see them. :) )

Here til 4pm today, hope to see everyone soon.

It's grey outside today so I'm going to make a grey inside as well.
I've cut myself a piece of board to make the walls of the dwarf kitchen so now I'm going to try and tidy them up a bit and attach some embossed brick plastic sheet.
If anyone needs some board for basing dioramas or making walls etc I've still got some here, free to a good home while it lasts.

Ok, I'm in store but I must avoid Facebook. I just scrolled past an advert for vintage reissued CDs and realised that I have most of them in my collection from the days when I still had hair. (The long, long ago times.)
That, combined with the fact Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) passed away on Wednesday is making me feel very old. RIP sir. Still, I've been waiting for an excuse to build more Prime models so every cloud...
Til all are one.

Morning all, a work in progress Wednesday picture. I managed to get some base coats onto some of the backlog last week. Hoping to get some more done this week, I'm in store today until 1pm but I do have a Lego set here as well so I promise no progress. đŸ˜„

Good morning everybody, today I will be avoiding the new dinosaur kits. I have decided to confront some of my incomplete desk distractions to try and get them nearer to finished. Pop by to see me losing my mind as I attempt to pick out fine details, mess up and repaint to try again.

Hello everybody. Dinosaurs! That is all I have to say today. Hope to see you all soon.
