Updates from the Workbench
1/48th Humber Armoured Car for the Plastic Posse Group Build
I was in a bit of a rut; I had three projects that I wanted to start but needed to 3D print some pieces for, my printer was broken and I had to wait a week or so to order my planned upgrade. I didn’t want to start anything too ambitious and nothing on my…
Feedback 2: You can do better than a sandwich
Around two years ago I wrote a post (https://warhammeradjacent.wordpress.com/2021/04/05/on-feedback/) about feedback in modelling, it was very much a topic of conversation on the podcast circuit and is an area I have taken significant interest in because of my day job teaching. It was probably one of my more popular posts and generated some interesting comments,…
Lanmo VVSS Dozer Review
I don’t often do reviews because there are usually better qualified people who’ve got there before me, in this case however I can’t find anything other than ‘in box’ reviews and so I thought I might offer some points based on my build of this rather lovely kit. Before I get into construction there are…
A Commander’s Duty – an experiment in storytelling
The Plastic Posse podcast sometimes discuss ‘opus builds’, meaning (I think) a project that is to be your ‘great work’. This project is something that I’ve been pondering for a while and is probably a first attempt at my ‘opus build’. The idea stems from a story regarding a former RSM of my regiment whilst…
Scale collectables 1/10th British Chindit 1943 Bust Review
I’m having a weird couple of months; I think the issue is that I’ve got too many projects on the go and so I’m struggling to maintain enthusiasm for any of them individually. As a result I have struggled a little with this project and it’s taken longer than it normally would to complete. The…
Chris Meddings on Art
This is a really thought provoking piece by Chris, he has picked some fantastic examples to look at too. https://modelphilosopher.com/is-it-art-though/?fbclid=IwAR1vfnUtYP1XdgTanhUhOxz_QXZ-kwwb1wGqPGm3qCerCpzDHiRWP55FLrM_aem_AdiCGfUFWylWOaYgmCPZcK5o_MXq27DneaHEoOLFsHNdKXpnohvhpN0ww-Zi16ersQQ
What have I been up to? Busts, tracks and big wings!
I’ve been pretty bad at updating this recently and so I thought it was probably time to give a rundown of my builds over the last few months. I’m going to divide it into categories rather than in chronological order because it makes more sense, I’ll also include the ‘shelf of doom’ builds to encourage…
Hessian Fusilier Regt Von Lossberg 1776 from TFB Miniatures – Review and Build Part 1
Hessian Fusilier Regt Von Lossberg 1776 from TFB Miniatures – Review and build part 1 After a bit of a hiatus from the bench I’m back to painting busts. This one was a birthday present to myself; I came across the manufacturer whilst browsing the planet figure forum and have a bit of a background…
Commissions
Over the last couple of years a few people have commissioned me to make models for them and I thought it was probably worth making a page to outline my approach to commission work. If you would like me to make something please have a read through the FAQ below and if you are happy…
Two years in the making. Ten minutes in the destroying.
I was prompted to start this project following a recent visit to the battlefields of the First World War with work. We had a day planned to travel through the Somme region and I managed to persuade the trip leader to take a small detour via Sheffield City Park near Serre. The site marks the…
