A photo of ten miniatures standing in front of what looks like the inside of an industrial-looking starship. They're essentially space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. They're branding various ranged and close-combat weapons, and several of them have brightly-coloured mohawks.

A photo of ten Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions (basically regular humans with guns in armour). The leader is in the middle and standing on a piece of industrial machinery aiming a plasma pistol and has her black cape billowing out dramatically behind her. They others are all wearing big blue-grey armour and are wielding various guns, they've all got black or brown skin, and they all look extra bad-ass because they're wearing red berets and a couple of them have sunglasses on. The bases are done so they all look like they're standing in snow.

I had entirely too much fun setting up a proper group shot for my Voidscarred and Scions today.

A photo of a black PowerBook G3 sitting on a desk, booted to the Mac OS 9 desktop. The machine is big and chunky, but also has subtle curves to it, and the trackpad is HILARIOUSLY tiny compared to modern Macs.

It's aliiiiive! And even though I know my current MacBook Pro is UTTERLY silent at all times, it's still very weird to have an OLD computer also being completely silent too. I'm subconsciously used to hearing all the clicking of the hard disk.

A photo of a 128GB mSATA SSD and a caddy to convert that to a 2.5-inch IDE connection.

Current project: Installing this into my old PowerBook G3! I'm also hoping that I can create a disk image of the existing hard drive and clone it onto one of the old external FireWire hard disks I still have floating around. 🤞🏻

A photo of six zombie miniatures and the zombie master guy who's in a long flowing deep purple cloak and who is wearing a skin mask. Four of the zombies have poles coming out of them with wires connected between each pole, in a very Frankensten-esque manner. One has an arm that's WAY larger than its regular arm that's been grafted onto it.

And that's the Exiled Dead all done! I HAD to add some blood effects, of course. 😁

A photo of six zombie miniatures and the zombie master guy who's in a long flowing deep purple cloak and whose face is... not quite human.

The Exiled Dead are coming along excellently, I reckon I'll probably have them all finished and varnished tomorrow!

A photo taken from under our carport looking at part of the front yard and the front of the house. The grass is neat and tidy and the edging perfectly done.

A photo looking out at the back yard. The fence is rickety as hell but the grass is neat and tidy here as well. There's two trees in big pots at the left.

I've done the mowing and whippersnippering on every square centimetre of grass and weeds on our block of land, plus a couple of bits of the neighbours' on either side at the street at the front, have done the edging of the driveway, and also manually pulled up a lot of the obnoxious weed/grass that gets everywhere along the back fence. It all looks excellent, and I'm now officially DONE with doing anything that involves moving for today. ::collapses::

A photo of the side and rear of a hunched-over zombie that has poles coming out of its back. The poles are connected to each other via wires, and the wires are MEANT to look like they're lit up with electricity and there's light being cast on its back but... it doesn't look very good.

Another zombie but from the front and, this one is upright and mid-shamble with one hand reaching out in front of it. It's got the same poles and wires sticking up from behind it that the other one did, but I didn't bother doing the lighting effect and they're just dark green. The zombie's skin is mostly skin-coloured but with an unnatural green hue to it and you can see part of its brain where the top of its skull is missing.

I decided to start on the Warhammer Underworlds warband The Exiled Dead, tried doing some object source lighting on the first one and it looks pretty shit, to the point that I may just re-base coat it tomorrow and start over. Really happy with the second though!

A photo of a square white baking dish with something that's been topped with egg.

This weekend is one of our semi-regular visits with the nearly-sixteen year-old, and we made bobotie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobotie) again! The house smells amazing right now.

A photo taken from my perspective looking down at my lap. My iPad and Magic Keyboard are on my lap, my left hand is on the keyboard, and there's a small scruffy blonde dog lying across my lap with his head on my left wrist.

And now we had another batch of rain and thunder come through and Beanie needed to be all up on me. Makes it slightly difficult to type though.

A photo of five miniatures. They're basically space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. Two of them have bright coloured mohawks and are holding big alien-looking guns up, one has two large swords and is holding one out in front of him like he's pointing it something, another has a full helmet on and is holding a tall staff with a blue gem at the top, and the last one has a shock of bright red hair and is holding a sword in front of him like he's inspiring the troops, and has a long alien rifle in his other hand.

A photo of the entire squad of all ten Corsair Voidscarred together.

My last five Corsair Voidscarred for Kill Team are done, and that's now the whole squad finished! Very excited to take them for a spin.
