"Nollaig Shona Daoibh" or Happy Christmas from Ireland......

..........have a good one if you can, me and the missus are having a quiet one as usual ( just the two of us), she has a cold at the moment and I have the far more serious man flu! 

Hoping you receive and achieve what you need this year, me I hope Santa brings me some cold hard paypal to feed the metal/resin/plastic addiction we all have!



                                   Of course it's a Christmas movie............

or maybe this is your thing!

9th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge........

..........just when I thought I was out, they (Ray) pull me back in..........and fecking dog legs!

Nagged by Ray to join in again this year and finally relented (head is in a slightly better place) and as you can see I started blogging again, it will mostly be 15mm modern and sci-fi (and a lot of dettol used too!)

Terms and conditions found here!

There is some 28mm stuff too, 28mm Sedgemoor gits from Ray, some Prodos 28mm Predators and an APC from Vinnie and a 15mm cinema from Blotz.......

This year I've buried a few dogs and we were left with just one, the other half wanted her to have some company and a couple of months back she brought a puppy home(something small she said(half collie/half dalmatian!!!) from a friend whose girl had been a little flirty one evening.

Anyway this thing is mad but lovable(stupid) and within a few weeks ran in the way of a falling hay bale (I was trying to sort out) and broke her leg, so currently 800+ euros out of pocket and counting, only allowed 5 minute walks, caravan arrest, has eaten rugs, figures, clothing and non dog food items etc....

Has caused financial ruin (thank feck for the other halfs parents helping us out) and nearly put me off ever owning any more dogs....... 

The git sleeping off another vet visit and her sedation, she has broken my bloody heart......apologies for the canine related news but it's been an emotional nut kicking time recently!

Well done to Curt and now I hear he has minions, the poor fecker (can you get cream for it I wonder?).

To my fellow painting challengers (except Ray).........good luck!

15mm Bounty Hunters and Villainy with added Scum......

.......what again I hear you say?

Even more 15mm for my ongoing sci-fi addiction, a mixture of Ion Age, Khurasan, Brigade and the old Critical Mass Games now residing at Ral Partha I believe?

Rebel Mini for scale purposes.......

Picture quality is the usual dubious quality but I do live in a caravan for fecks sake😜😜😜😜

Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 103: The Girl with all the Gifts (3 STARS)

Another zombie movie, I'm a little bored with zombie movies these days, well never fear in this one they are called "hungries", a fungal infection zombie movie, the story set 20 years after the outbreak on a British outpost manned by military/scientists, experimenting on zombie children who have not yet descended too far into the zombie infection, outpost is then breached, journey to find safety, etc.....

Melanie who is our zombie girl/star and does steal the show ahead of everyone else ( even Gemma Arterton), the movie follows a predictable story line except for certain ideas like our smell (big issue), the fungus and maybe the ending (bloody fungus)......

Paddy Considine plays a world weary British army sergeant..........

Glenn Close plays rabid scientist trying to save humanity......

All in all worth a watch if you like the genre, based on a 2014 book by M.R Carey!

A fungus is a eukaryote that digests food externally and absorbs nutrients directly through its cell walls. Most fungi reproduce by spores and have a body (thallus) composed of microscopic tubular cells called hyphae. Fungi are heterotrophs and, like animals, obtain their carbon and energy from other organisms.
