I’m a software engineer from the good old days before it all went to shit. I now draw, build scale models, take photos, & make art. I love reading, photography, sci-fi, electronics/robotics & coding. All photos are my own. I believe in Dog. 🐶
Today’s incredible charity shop find! An original first issue Star Wars soundtrack double LP in superb condition, complete with booklet, orchestra notes, and poster that’s never been put up! An absolute bargain at only £10!!

Hank Marvin’s vintage red Stratocaster.
First (very) rough paint layer put down. Not the correct colour, but the next layer and wash will change that. This pale turquoise-blue will act as worn paint highlighting as the rest of the paint is lightly applied on top. #ScaleModel #ScaleModelling #MiniArt #LifeInMiniature

Primer coat done, and base rust layer applied. Next up is the chipping fluid layer then the real fun begins with painting and weathering. Weathering is my favourite part. I love the look of hyper-realistic abandoned vehicles and buildings. #ScaleModels #modelling #diorama
My first model in many years, a 1/24 scale tractor from MiniArt. I’ve been absorbing everything I can re the latest methods and techniques and built up a good stock of tools, paints and weathering materials.

A beautiful clear sky tonight. It’s quite incredible that just using an iPhone, handheld with a 10s exposure, I can get such a wonderful view of Orion.

One of my all-time favourite films. I just rewatched it again recently.

I fear that too many world leaders are still not taking the Orange Shitgibbon seriously enough. His rantings may sound like those of a lunatic, but they are simply the blaring foghorn of a ship being steered by far more dangerous people, those who are the real puppet masters pulling the strings.
You never know when this sort of information may become useful. Same as all those things I read about in the early 1980s about what to do in the event of a nuclear war. 👍
Got a fantastic haul of hardcover books at our local secondhand bookstore today. Six books for only £5!

I feel that this is what should be used as s dip for those revolting Gingerbread Doritos. 🤢

My first digital camera was a Kodak DC20. It seems laughable by today’s standards, but at the time, 1997/8 I believe, it seemed revolutionary to be able to take digital photos.
Some of my favourites:
Joe Satriani
Jerry Donahue
Tony MacAlpine
Jerry Reed
Mason Williams
Steve Vai
Les Paul
Robert Cray
Brian May
This is beautiful. I live the simplicity and minimalism, but it conveys so much. 💜
If there’s one thing you can say about the Germans in WWI, they knew how to do a damned awesome paint job on their planes.
And little did they realise just what a total pain in the arse that would be for scale model makers 100+ years later. 😁
The beautiful intricate maze of unclothed trees.

Hello Lisa. Happy New Year to you too. We’re surviving. We finally got out of the house we were renting & into a new flat in my old home town of Letchworth. It’s a much better location, & it’s an assisted living facility so there are medical staff on hand for emergencies. It’s a great community.

The sunset this evening produced a beautiful warming red hue on the trees.
