Finished Assassin's Creed Syndicate, was good, but some of the extra content was really bad in terms of quality

Got the Jack to Ripper expansion yet to play and a few achievements to unlock!

Needed something to organise my 3.0 tokens & this lovely little design was on the purple site, so grabbed it & printed it, works pretty well, but somehow I lost a pinned token somewhere!

We are getting to the point where the graphical jump between generations has been getting smaller

I don’t what the next generation will be like but I suspect that there will be more upscaling and more ray tracing but beyond that who knows

Michael Botterill @biggeordiegeek.uk · 1d

That’s a nice colour

Mike Brooks writes amazing books

Met him at the Glasgow WorldCon last summer, very tall man with very tall hair and damn me he is one fine gentleman, charming and friendly

Think I Am Getting There

So my efforts to get my life back on track and things back to a semblance of normality are working.

I have some to paint, considering perhaps trying out some drybrushing for them, but there are some very good recipes out there

The Moon Knight mask is finished, a couple of layer shifts I am not 100% happy with, but I think it’s not too bad, fits @magickmogwai perfectly so should be good for the nibbling

Tool 36 hours and 43 minutes to print!

It’s going to be a Mr Knight mask from Moonknight that my nibbling asked me for

They want to cosplay as him and use it on Halloween

Spent a good chunk of today unwell and in bed asleep, but did manage to get 20 minutes to paint some more of my Mortificator for the Ultramarines for day 643 of the #HobbyStreak

19 hours left to go, this will be a massive job when it’s finished, I just hope the nibbling appreciates it!

The Moon Knight mask is a challenge, made some adjustments & added some beefy supports, hopefully this time it works, it’s added 12 hours on to the print, making it a 36 hour one, & will need some more white filament, but we can get there!

These were a slog and far far from my best work but Myari’s Purifiers are at last done!
