Time for our regular visit to Liberty Kitchen

Hit up the central library media sale. 9 DVDs of questionable taste for £3!

90’s Cadians are one of my favourite GW designs of all time.

Brown sugar iced latte @ The Liberty Kitchen at Wallace Tower

A “poetry is in the streets” art event happened at the end of April, but Wednesday was the first time I’d been in town since then.

👀

Got a knock at the door just before 9am, and when I answered it I was presented with a hamper from work as part of my long-service award.

Finally got around to finishing this Doctor Spork terrain piece for Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition. 12 year old me is giddy at finally having one of these to put on the table.

I genuinely don’t think I’ve seen any sun or blue skies in over 2 weeks 😭

Feels good to get something in the books for 2026 already, given I hadn’t picked up a brush since July

It’s a bit snowy out ❄️🌨️

Middle child has recently developed an interest in 80’s movies, so I got a bunch more to add to our home library.

“We have to go back, Marty!

I managed to get a veritable pile of 40K and WHFB terrain primed this morning, ready for painting when I get the chance.

The hottest release of 1992 just dropped ❤️

Nosfrogatu!

Did the thing I said I wasn’t going to do, then spent the weekend printing accessories for it.

Finally dipping back into a project I first started in 2021(!)

In a turn of events that will shock no one who follows me on social media, I have a new keyboard: a Lowfree Flow84.

I painted up these cliffs by Dark Fantastic Mills, to give myself more options for photographing miniatures on.

Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol, for Warhammer 40,000.

Finally able to post this lovely little pond found in the Cruickshank Botanic Garden at Aberdeen University

We went to a special exhibition at the Art Gallery, displaying a collection relating to the sea and associated myths.

New home server, who dis?

The new Deathrattle miniatures are really, really, nice to put together.

Sometimes long, dull, meetings are useful.

Up next after the Knights are finished: “Project Smooth Brain”

A rare spot of weeknight painting

Another wee dude ready for priming tomorrow.

5 minutes with 3 spray cans and this GW bunker is decent enough to stick on the table as-is.

I’m quite happy with how this cape I painted the other day turned out.

It felt like a slow start to the year, hobby-wise, but I actually think I’m doing alright.

Our fridge broke.

My leg evidently makes a good pillow for strange dogs.

@ Mount, Upperkirkgate, Aberdeen

My remote development box has been such a useful little computer to have available that I’m building myself a whole other raspberry pi based server for running other useful utilities.

I got the label-maker out, to celebrate finally finding a case that fits my remote dev box.

I’ve had the rough idea for a Space Marine chapter design in my head for a while.

I’ve been working on my first ever iOS/iPad app, and it’s starting to take shape.

Fun fact: this hot chocolate nearly killed me, and is how I learned I’ve developed an allergy to oat milk.

Oh to be a cat, sometimes

I got myself a new monitor.

Time to go (LEGO) dinosaur hunting!

Spotted at Shot’N’Roll.

Spotted at Books & Beans in Aberdeen

I came back from London with a taste for a Cortado.

By coincidence, we happen to be going in that direction…

Sometimes (just sometimes) Aberdeen gets a dash of colour that lifts the soul.
