A photo of four sets of ten female heads for Warhammer 40,000-sized miniatures. One set has mohawks and cybernetic implants, one has a selection of "grizzled veteran" headgear like a beret, a beanie, sunglasses, one has a cigar, etc. The third set all have berets on, and the last have no headgear at all.

Woohoo, the replacement female heads for my miniatures arrived today. They're metal but surprisingly good quality, can't wait to get them all painted up. (I think I'm going to wait for my airbrush stuff to arrive before I get stuck in.)

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on the floor with his back against a bookcase and his head resting on a cushion that's been propped up next to a reading chair.

Someone has certainly made himself comfortable.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying upside down on the floor with his legs in the air.

We got this adorable little scruffball eight years ago today!

A photo looking down a street after the sun has gone below the horizon, but with clouds on the horizon and the sky a REALLY intense rich golden colour.

Hella sunset just now!

A screenshot of the iPad app "Melodics". It's showing a pattern of notes to hit on the drums, right/left/right/right/left/right/left/left on the hi-hat and snare, so you end up doing in groups of three, but for the kick drum it's on every second note.

I'm still doing my drum practicing, currently learning some grooves that include paradiddles, and one rhythm for my hands and an entirely different one for my foot is totally breaking my brain!

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine, a big heavily-armoured warrior holding a big gun, that's been undercoated in black and has a zenithal highlight of white done from the angles on the top so it looks like the light is shining on him from above. The gradient is smoooooth.

We were over at a friend's place today and he has an airbrush. I had a play around with it, and that's it, I'm getting one. Look at the damned smoothness of this zenithal highlighting!

A photo of my painting table with paints all at the back, a miniature in a little holder in the middle, a wet palette at the right, and two jars of water for rinsing the brushes in at the left. There's also a glass of rum and a piece of dark chocolate at the left.

Friday night status: a rum Old Fashioned, some dark chocolate, and painting. 👌🏻

A photo of the (quite empty) front of the fast-food place here called Schnitz.

I went into the city today for a visit to the doctor and the dentist. Naturally I had to make my regular pilgrimage to Schnitz. 👌🏻

A photo of the board of Warhammer 40,000: Fireteam with miniatures on it. The board consists of hexagonal tiles and has industrial-looking artwork on it, and the miniatures are five Space Marines (big power-armoured warriors wielding chainswords and bolt pistols) and thirteen Necrons (Terminator-esque robotic warriors with guns but in poses like they're shambling like zombies). There's also tall industrial/steampunk-looking pieces of terrain on the blocked hexes.

We played another game of Fireteam today, this time with fully-painted miniatures, and I added some (not fully-painted) terrain pieces on the blocked hexes for visual interest! Lots of fun, the mechanics and flow are good, but given the mission we did was the introductory mission, I don't understand how the Necrons can possibly win. I guess I'll need to do some research.

A photo of a bulky-looking robot suit, almost anime-style I guess, with a huge gun on one arm. (Yes, they _are_ called Stealthsuits despite being the least stealthy-looking things you could think of!) It's painted in a sandy desert kind of colour with black accents, and the base is also a sandy desert with a tuft of a bright red alien grass on it.

Over two years since I put my Tau Stealthsuits together, and I've FINALLY decided on a paint scheme and actually painted one of them, haha.
