@timeforhobby Amazing Liquid Lava Base, just WOW! Let me show how simple to do that in just 10-15 minutes, the gel is trying very fast 🙂👍 The recommendation not to do fat coat, it is a bit transparent and looks so cool 👍 You also can paint it above with the same color I did the base. The part of the earth, which is contacting with the lava, just apply red via drybrushing 😉👍 Find #time4hobby 🤙 #warhammer #miniature #painting #lavabase #liquidlava #timeforhobby #tipsandtricks ♬ Immigrant Song (Remaster) - Led Zeppelin

Miniature versions of famous Los Angeles landmarks including the New Beverly Cinema

View this post on Instagram

Situated in Little Tokyo, LA's second oldest neighborhood and one of the three remaining historic Japantowns, Fugetsu-Do has been making traditional Japanese mochi and manju for over 117 years! . Passed down through three generations of family ownership, the Kito's have operated this sweet shop since 1903 and, over the years, have weathered a series of unimaginable challenges. From the internment camps of WWII, to depressions and pandemics, and the ever-present threat of gentrification, Fugetsu-Do is an impressive story of resilience and its significance to the Nikkei community makes it an unquestionable icon of Little Tokyo and the City of Los Angeles. . There's still time to enter to win this miniature of Fugetsu-Do! See my previous post for info on how to enter. . #miniaturemodel #miniaturebuilding #miniaturist #miniature #miniatureart #scalemodel #scaleart #scratchbuild #scratchmodel #losangelesart #losangeleshistory #vintagesign #vintagestorefront #modelmaking #littletokyo #LittleTokyoLA

Corrupted pool of Nurgle scenic base for Warhammer

The #Nurgle pool is now filled. Took six pours over six days.

Will try and get some decent pics. Not 100% finished the set as I need to add some black to the bottom & rust to metal bits.#AoS #Warcry #Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity pic.twitter.com/2z3HRqMOBf

The first post I did, of the styrene box inside a frame was very popular, I think because a Mr @ChrisPeach001 retweeted it...hopefully he likes the (almost) finished piece.@RayDranfield, I promise not to corrupt any more of your work... pic.twitter.com/PaUPCLVJ03

So, that has gone down as the most popular Tweet I have ever done, by quite some distance.
