Well thank you everyone who replied and shared, few leads to follow and hopefully some good homes! I'm sure mum would be happy that they found their ways to new homes where they can be as treasured as they were by her
Joshface@joshface.bsky.social · 3d agoDoes anyone know of anyone that would benefit from stitch embroidery, lacemaking text books? My dad is trying to re-home mums collection, some of which are rare and expensive very niche techniques like medieval plumping (dont ask me). If anyone's interested please DM me

Grief counselling thing today was hard going. But did that, see if it goes anywhere else. Some people in terrible straits but we were all in the same position
And with a base added, I was going to go the whole hog on the carrier deck but I'm fed up with it now, so onto the next thing!
Well I think I'll put this down now, not my best or my worst. What a dog of a kit, fun to wrestle it into presentable. Carrier deck of Hermes as a display I think
Bad weekend of not enough sleep, more anxiety worrying and random downers. Couldn't face work this morning, so another day trying to switch off. I decided to do this in subdued scheme for which there are no decals, so masochist modeller I am, free handing them instead
It's really not been a fun week. My head is clinging on to not submitting to the old black dog. Mostly with distractions Like painting this bloody thing
Day 27 of No Shame Painting Lots of progress on the bridge, brick work picked out, railings washed and highlighted. Need to let things dry for tidying up. Need to think about a river next. All in the scale that makes your mum smile. #spreadthelard #wargaming #terrain
Update for the airbrush folks, problem was almost certainly the compressor. I've hooked up a new one with a new hose today and getting a much more reliable pressure (and has a regulator so I can actually know that too). Will try out the brush and see how it goes
I have not slept and this child banging it's parents car keys into the chair in the dentist waiting room while shouting might end me
Police have advised me not to attend work today for my own safety
Finished, will do a few more passes to feed the wood then some friction polish to...er..finish
Does anyone that uses an airbrush regularly feel helpful enough to talk through what Im doing wrong? I've never ever been able to even get basic operation right, and I'd like to know how to use the pretty decent brush and compressor I have. Guides don't seem to cut it I think I need to learn by do
Good work on your job advert skanska . Especially for a quality and compliance manager role
Done some more work on this, shaped the indented facing and routed it off, added some beeswax and linseed oil to start feeding the word. Cut and sharped the rear facing some more work to do
And finishing the day with some more work on this. I've finished the form of the background at least but think I might do some more blue washes over it to tie it together, we'll see. Hopefully the rain effect comes off
Noone guessed really even when there was a picture behind it I was using as olour reference 😜 I remembered I bought this at salute from Carlos Miniatures and had a whole plan for it, so I got started on building up the background.
