With the recent influx of new followers I thought I'd re-introduce myself, I'm ExplosiveFlorist. I convert and kitbash a lot and might well be incapable of assembling a mini normally.

Thank you all so much for following my hobby journey and it's amazing to see the community flourish in Bluer Skies

#hobbystreak Day 364 - 368 | Catching up

Was unexpectedly away from my hobby desk this weekend so had some catching up to do.

I likely won't be able to finish everything before the in-store Armies on Parade this weekend but I'll be focusing on the core army.

October 2025 #hobbygoals

The main goal this month is to finish painting the Isstvan V Survivors that I've assembled so far for the in-store Armies on Parade Event this month. This includes this month's Dreadnought.

I'd like to paint something for Halloween as well and finish a few other projects.
