Well, 2024 has been quite eventful to say the least. If you don’t know me from that other place, here is some of my stuff from the year that I was pleased with and I think I unintentionally ended the year with my favorite model of the year.

Yes, I am old school, but the greatest rider in the history of the sport agrees with me….fancy sports drinks have their place, but sometimes the thing you need is a Coca Cola.

But yeah, attending in person to see cars go by a grandstand with 200,000 people at 200+ mph? Not for me.

I repeated for years that I would be more into watching if you could have the car/driver view during the race…and that is possible nowadays, ie I can choose from two producer feeds with commentary or select any car in the race at all times.

I agree, it’s funny….the competition itself (the race) is usually not very interesting, other than seeing a few guys demonstrate incredible concentration for 90 minutes.

It’s funny because I was wondering how loud it was from wherever you were…Singapores not that big.

OK so for Gaslands is Team Scarlett, but in our case it’s Skarlork (but they’re most definitely still red)

Fair point. I feel the same way. I don’t use Instar exclusively, however the paint is so nice, it very quickly became an important part of my arsenal.

So I’m watching Singapore F1 GP and sorting through a bunch of excellent 3D printed Orks, bikes and a van for Gaslands…

If by single you mean tiny , then yes.

If y’all haven’t tried Instar paints, I suggest that you do. They are wonderful.

There is something about Royal Mail international that makes me think they really like stomping on packages….nothing fragile in here fortunately…I’ll take the opportunity to plug shop.instarpaint.com. And look what was added as a bonus!

Yeah, I’m fine with looking at 100 WIP shots of this thing as it progresses.

There's nothing like posting the same guy over and over with small updates 😅. The photo is a bit light, but close enough. I'll do some back shots soon 👀

Yes, it is and thank you Alt text for educating me.

I don’t know, but that is a beautiful model.

And note that I typed “barely “ when Ike actually said “rarely”

😄

Is the “hour and a half slow” clock set as such so that you work calmly and unhurried?

Eisenhower’s famous principle states “what is urgent is barely important and what is important is rarely urgent “

Looks great as usual! What models are these and how’s the scale?

Picked up some Orky toe-socks whilst in Japan for the flight back.

Yes…particularly if you make cosplay stuff…Halloween season begins August 1st.

Those are excellent. I didn’t know there were ever miniatures made for Car Wars. When I played it in the old days it was all chits and tokens.
