Some Cool Shit™ from Brackenbury Books @obrackenbury.bsky.social has arrived! Four books and some postcards of the cover art too, featuring incredible work from the likes of @gorangligovic.bsky.social and others!
Thank you. He really was the best cat. I rescued him at age 11. That was in 2018! I don't know anything about his previous life but he was the friendliest, most gentle thing I've ever met. Everyone who met him loved him, even my very allergic dad. My beautiful boy who broke my heart when he left. 💔
Mr Sweep passed away Wednesday night. He is missed more than I can put into words.
Good night Mr Sweep. You were the best, the BEST cat. I'm so lucky to have had you.
More! I scratchbuilt some ships, including one heavily based on the Sulaco from Aliens. Will count as a light cruiser, probably a Dauntless class? Also found a very rare Voss-pattern battleship I did not know I had. These are horribly expensive today (there's one on eBay for £235!!). #nerdlings #BFG
Any old #nerdlings who were into Battlefleet Gothic back in the day? Because I just found my old ships and I am *excited* to get a full fleet finally finished! #BFG
This is a cat checkpoint. Relinquish your most recent cat picture!
I've had this little ash bowl I made for a few years. Nobody ever bought it because it's a bit boring and had a little split that I repaired. As it's Chichester Pride this coming weekend, I thought I'd make it a bit more interesting. 🏳️🌈 #woodturning #pride #chichester
Arrived today, cool stuff from @vor-bokor.bsky.social @simonroy.bsky.social et al. #books #comics
Great fun! I have a Nishika which is basically the same. Have stuff in the fore, middle and background so the parallax effect is obvious. Flash is useful as the apertures are quite small (f/11 and f/16 on the Nishika). Dev, scan, combine the four frames into an animated gif. Here's a quick example:
Building an aquatic monster. Putting that arm together was a bit of a slog but it's looking good. #nerdlings #gundam #gunpla
Ok, I am taking part in a group build but I cannot decide what to build. My options are the MG Gogg or the FM/100 Gusion. What do we think? Chonky aquatic boy or big green frog? #nerdlings #gundam #gunpla #modeling
Spring be springin' today! 17*, glorious sunshine, trees in flower, birds yelling.
Hobby deliveries in the last few days: A bunch of delightful/horrific things from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social including the infamous Turkey Man Some dead guys from @diehardminiatures.bsky.social And some ludicrous pink paint from Culture Hustle.
Quite possibly the comfiest critter in the entire universe. #MidweekMoggy #CatsofBluesky
New stuff from @thearmypainter.bsky.social arrived yesterday. Really liked the first two sets so keen to get into these! #JohnBlanche #Grimdark #miniaturepainting #nerdlings
Recent-ish work, 2025. It's quite hard to use, but I really enjoy my Lomo Petzval lens. Z6 II, natural light #photography #portrait #blackandwhite #Petzval #HeyLomography
A photo for #TreeTuesday from last summer. High up on the South Downs near Singleton. Bronica ETRSi 60mm Lomo Purple #believeinfilm #heylomography #mediumformat
It's #Caturday once again. Mr Sweep is good at finding the sunny spots.
