I was only thinking the other day that I’ve been really enjoying spending time hobbying, painting, soldering, kit-bashing, making dioramas and all the rest – I’m really going to miss it when lockdown is lifted.

So it was with mixed views I watched Boris on telly tonight saying we’re heading for another one – though, if I whisper it, maybe everyone won’t get mad at me for admitting I’m not exactly upset at the idea of it, if it means I can paint some more minis!

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I won the Papsikels painting competition. The prize was to have a miniature modelled. So I sent a photo of my little grandson Elvis

And the other day, I was sent a couple of .stl files. The guy did a fantastic job. I printed them and this morning set about a “quick-and-dirty” paint job (as I’m sending him a box of toys and comics tomorrow, so needed to get it finished quickly).

There’s no way I’m even attempting painting all those blue flames on his trousers! But for a couple of hours work this afternoon, I’m quite happy with him:
