Continuing to experiment with accent colours for my purple space marines.

I'm not a fan of the white backpack, but the full purple marine looks much better now I've done some highlighting.

A colleague brought in a bottle of sauerkraut juice to try. It was deeply unpleasant.

Pretty good race. Perez and Alonso seemed very in control. A few interesting battles throughout and Verstappen's charge was pretty good.

Shame that Stroll had to stop, would've been fun to see where he ended up. Mercedes were better than expected, surprisingly better than the Ferrari’s.

McLaren continues to disappoint. Ignoring the unlucky damage at the start, being comfortably held at bay by a Williams (Sargeant did a good job) is not a good sign.

Well, the shake up continues. Tomorrow should be interesting

@tldrqwerty has just introduced me to the full-size Blahaj mascot for Ikea in Japan. This is going straight into my cosplay ideas list 🤣

Experimenting with different backpack and pauldron colours for my purple marines.

I'm enjoying the white pauldrons, but I'm torn between the purple and black backpack. I'm not sold on the white kneecaps either.

Maurice (1987)

4/5 - Damn. This was good

Wow. The Aston Martin hype was real. Bit boring out front, but the rest of the grid was fun to watch.

Classic Ferrari issues. Hopefully, McLaren will sort their stuff out as they're wasting Lando and Oscar.

Less of a shake up than I hoped, but a good mix of cars in Q3. Hopefully the shakeup will continue the rest of the year

This could be quite the shakeup

Finally made a start on my Ogroid Theridons. Not sold on the banner, I'm tempted to try the same black and red 8-point like the show models.

Yentl (1983)

3/5

Formula 1: Drive to Survive (S5)

3/5 - Better than last season

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

4/5 - Very good

Knives Out (2019)

4/5 - I don’t usually like this type of film but this was great

Deadpool 2 (2018)

3/5 - Better than I expected, a good sequel

Scourge of Fate by Robbie MacNiven

4/5 - This is great. It adds so much depth and character to the Slaves to Darkness. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the army or Choas in general.

Trying out some yellow recipes for a potential Imperial Fists army. Painting black next to yellow is _very_ scary.

D.E.B.S. (2004)

3/5 - Bit cringe in places, but I'll allow it. The early 2000's CGI is amazing

Deadpool (2016)

3/5 - It's fine, it was better the first time, but not engaging on the second watch 😞

8 more space marines built ready for painting tomorrow. Got some more themes to test. Only took 4 hours to do, which is I think my fastest time per model to date.

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

3/5 - I see why others enjoyed it, but a lot of it felt like gore for the sake of gore. The performances are great.

Great time today at Southampton Model Railway Exhibition.

Thanks to David and the McKinley Railway team for answering my many DCC and computer-control questions. I've been following the project for years, so it was fun to talk to the people behind it.
