Hi all, presenting my personal blog highlighting the trials and tribulations of scratchbuilding and converting various models from the Warhammer 40,000 universe and beyond. A lot of the initial material is from my posting on the great forum Work in Progress. So regular visitors there may recognise some of the work.
There will of course be some other aspects covered here that may be outside of the forum, so please keep checking back. I am reading a lot of the Black Library books right now so am starting to post some reviews of these.
I am in no way affiliated with Games Workshop and do not offer any of these items for sale. Just an enormous fan of the 40k world and all of the IP that has gone into making this one of the richest seams of modern sci-fi available today.
Thanks for stopping by.

So, not strictly a 40K model this one, and I don't even intend to do any hardcore converting on this model. Just a simple build up and a painting exercise really. Wanted to test out a few techniques t... - Thunderbolt: Forgeworld Pilot - January 15th, 2010
Hi all, just a quick post here to show you what I am currently painting. I picked up this lovely special edition model from forgeworld off ebay, was undercoated when I got it but using dettol to st... - Black Library: Blood Pact - Dan Abnett - January 15th, 2010

I have done the final detail work for the various bits like glass etc. and the belt feed to the drone guns. Kept it to a relative minimum as this was maily a weathering thing to start off with. I... - Phantine XX: Double Eagle - Painted - July 9th, 2009
First coats going on. I used my Citadel spray gun for this paint job as I didn't have a regular airbrush at this point. The eagle wings were a little too light on this first pass and I had already ... - Grey Venger: Grey Venger pt.3 - July 8th, 2009
All painted up and weathered. Not many PIP shots sorry. I know, it really should have had a little more by way of decals and markings. I have had this model for a long time now as a standard russ and ... - Operation Valkyrie: Valkyrie pt.8 - July 8th, 2009
