I'm especially looking for a home for my tabletop words - I'm on the GW and Trench Crusade partner programmes and have shone a light on a bunch of cool indie games over the past year through interviews and getting hands-on at conventions and events. I also make messed-up Dark Mech conversions.
accidentally started an underground book swap ring at book club so I end up bringing about six books a week to hand out/give back

Won a painting competition with this fella this weekend. Converted from a garden ornament with brass rod legs, plastic components, sculpted additions, kitchen roll for cloth, mod podge gore.
I'm pretty sure my interviewee didn't say this, but now it's all I can hear in the recording
