Hello, I've made it into the shop and we're open now. Now I've just got to find space to hang the new scenic tufts and sanding tools.

Afternoon all. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to visit this week. I've finished the Ultra Magnus version of the Optimus Prime kit I was working on and I've also prepped the egg for my Dragon Eggling with some gloss varnish so that's ready to have its cracks pin washed.

I'm still collating colour nominations for the skin of the dragon so that will be finalised next week, I'll be using a bottle of Duncan Rhodes Bright and the equivalent Army Painter effects paint to do a comparison. I'll list the colours below, comment on your favourite and I'll tally up all the nominations. Currently green and yellow are tied...

Hellspawn Red - Power Node Glow
Craven Yellow - Lens Flare Glow
Gigawatt Blue - Plasma Coil Glow
Flaming Forge Orange - Radiation Glow
Talisman Green - Data System Glow

Ok, I'm in store, the doors are open and I'm about to try and finish painting this He-Man. Hope to see you all soon. Thanks, Matt.

Hello folks, no delivery today so I'll be trying to simulate fur effects on Battle Cat and Panthor. A bit scared of doing Battle Cat's stripes so I might carry on with my "Ultra Magnus" conversion. There is only so much trouble I can get myself into with a snap together kit I suppose...
