28mm Light Tank Mk.VI for Bolt Action and Chain of Command.

First finished model in over 6 months! Test model for my Sons of Horus Heresy force. Bit rough around the edges and will probably go back with some highlights but feels great to be painting again!

And thats my degree finished! Now hopefully to get back to finishing some models 😅

Finally unboxing the last few boxes from the move and happen to stumble upon some of my unfinished HH White Scar stuff - I was planning on doing them as my next project anyway but remembering how sick the scheme is has solidified that desire! ⚡️

If you see this, post a tank.

Have to pick my the humble Cruiser MkIII as it was the only one I could find on my camera roll! 😅

Managed to finish off these Guard before work 🫡

Shying away from most social media these days but thought I would drop in to show some more Guardsmen I'm working on.

Quick and grubby Mark VI light tank finished! Been sitting on my desk for months, happy to have it finished. In theory that's all my BEF vehicles done... Unless I end up printing more at some point 😅

I've mocked up a cover to act as muse, that's the hardest part accomplished right? 😅

Just wondering if any of my lovely followers happen to have any spare bitz from the recently out of production Cadian heavy weapon teams? Just after a few bitz for some kitbashed mortars and rocket teams. Thanks!

Had my first game of 40k in ages yesterday, and first game with Space Marines in like 2 years! Got obliterated by my friend's Orkz but still had fun. I think I prefer Necrons and the whole not-dying schtick 😅.

First models finished in ages! A batch battle-ready of Harakoni Warhawks 🫡
February 20, 2025 at 8:23 PM
Finally got round to finishing The Anarch after putting it off (I wasn't ready)... Dan you cruel cruel man 😭

Picked up some little Poppy tufts to really sell the Belgium/Northern France vibe and think they add a lot of character to the models! Looking forward to plonking these on the rest of my stuff.
January 2, 2025 at 3:07 PM
First models of 2025 done! A QF-2 pounder AT gun and it's tow finished. Did most of the leg work in 2024 but still counting it 😅
January 1, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Getting muddy tonight! Looking forward to finishing it off tomorrow once it's dry - I've picked up some nice new grass tufts and poppies to decorate the base with too.
December 29, 2024 at 9:25 PM
Just need to do the base tomorrow then this AT gun is done! First painting in a while 😁.
December 27, 2024 at 9:23 PM
I'm about to hit this 2pdr with 2 pounds of Agrax Earthshade.
December 27, 2024 at 8:42 PM
Some hobby goodies to keep me busy going into the new year for Christmas! Can't decide what to build first. Hope everyone else got some cool stuff for Christmas and if not, treat yourself 😁

Quick and grubby Bedford MV truck this morning. Primer went on a bit funny good stuff but tried not to stress about it too much and just went extra with the weathering.
December 15, 2024 at 12:33 PM
Been a bit quiet on the hobby front between miserable weather, Uni deadlines and hectic work but did manage to print off a Truck and 2 pdr AT gun for it to tow that I'll hopefully work on over the weekend.
December 12, 2024 at 9:20 PM
Haven't painted for a few days but finally got round to blasting out another Universal Carrier! Just have a Austin K3 truck and another Light Tank Mk6 and that's the entire motor pool for the project finished!
December 5, 2024 at 9:29 PM
Really loving how this project is coming along. Got a few more Universal Carriers to do, a Morris C8, Humber Armoured Car, and another Light Tank MVI... Oh yeah and the infantry but Santa will be supplying those 😅🎅

Finished this grubby little Matilda I - love these early war tanks despite how quickly they became obsolete. The headlights look like eyes making it strangely cute 😅
November 28, 2024 at 7:31 PM
Quick and grubby Light Tank MkVI for my 1940 Brits - this one is a bit messy and had to be quite heavy handed with the weathering as it had a fall 😅
