"I hate #vibes-based reasoning, because of the kind of thinking that it elevates. It elevates the comms spad over the #macroeconomist, the reader-of-headlines over the #modeller, the use of a finger in the air over a solid think about the vast, hard-to-move #economy."

Need something small, to do in an evening. So started a pair of 1/35 heads.

I don't have the figurines for them, so they're effectively "throw aways".

Primed, skin base coated, and para beret done..

Been a hot minute since I posted anything. I've not had much time for modelling recently.

Got my kit back out yesterday and started on a #Wizkids #NolzursMarvelousMiniatures #WarforgedTitan and decided to try my hand at some OSL. In preparation for that, I've started work on a cracked lava base for him.

Excuse quality of pictures, hard to do well at this range, in this light at the end of the day...

Both the paint job, and the "in joke".

For context, this is a plinth that a bust of Boudicca will be sitting atop.

So, gentle reader... Do you "get it"? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

Very open to feedback. Boosts welcome.
