Zookeepers tell me that Romaine lettuce is like candy for giraffes; they love it! On the other hand, it's neutral for their diet.
But, I've observed that feeding lettuce to giraffes can be wonderful for humans. There's something in the interaction.

We have a little family of three, and most things get shared quite happily between us. For some reason toothpaste just hasn't fallen into that category, at all.
I found this piece of leave (from a kind of palm tree) at the base of the famour Petronas Twin Tower. Since you have since the picture of Twin Tower, I just wanted to share with out any side of Malaysia that you could have missed, or I called it simple things in life.

This is my Horus Heresy era, Imperial Fists Legion, Reconnaissance Squad in recon armour. Also known as plastic Space Marine Scouts with sniper rifles.
I’ve really fallen in love with the aesthetic of six-man specialist squads. All of the Tactical Support and Heavy Support squads currently (and planned future projects) in my collection are six-man squads.
I got these as a birthday present from my Aunt back in March. Finishing a six-man infantry squad in only a month and a half counts as speed painting for me. I wish I could say that I enjoy painting, but I’m not sure I do, what I actually enjoy is finishing painting a project.
I’m really happy with how they have turned out, but it wasn’t an easy road getting there.
I’m not keen on the stock heads that come with the Space Marine Scout kits, so I decided to do a simple head-swap, replacing them with Skitarii Ranger heads that I bought on eBay. Their hoods can be easily blended with the Scout’s camo cloaks with green-stuff, and they look like they’re wearing gasmasks. I wanted them to look environment sealed as my collection is themed around Mars.
These fit the theme of my recon squad perfectly, even if they didn’t fit the models perfectly. I had some trouble fitting the heads to the torsos with enough contact points for plastic glue to bond them together. I also had to trim the necks back a bit as they looked too long. It was also necessary to use green-stuff to fill gaps and improve the fit.
The plastic Space Marine Scouts with Sniper Rifles set is also a little dated, and it’s clear on their legs that the two halves of the mould do not align properly. I tried to address this with some cutting and scraping.
I mounted my squad on 32mm Citadel Sector Imperialis round bases. Because they’re awesome, and one of the best value for money kits Games Workshop have ever released. I chose 32mm bases because 25mm bases just look too small these days, and although these guys are wearing recon armour, they’re still Space Marines (in 30K, in 40K they’re nearly-Space Marines).
The yellow parts of their recon armour I painted in the same way I paint all of my Imperial Fists. Although in this case I started from a ‘Corax White’ spray can primer instead of ‘Averland Sunset’ spray or air via airbrush. It’s ‘Averland Sunset’, drowned in a coat of ‘Seraphim Sepia’ shade, layered with thinned down ‘Averland Sunset’ and then edge-highlighted with ‘Ushabti Bone’.
The grey fabric parts of their clothes were painted with ‘Dawnstone’, washed with ‘Nuln Oil’ shade and then layered on the raised areas with ‘Dawnstone’ again.
The camo cloaks? The camo cloaks nearly drove me made.
I wanted them to have a Martian red tinge, to fit the theme that these guys are fighting on Mars. I base-coated them with a 50:50 mix of ‘Mournfang Brown’ and ‘Wild Rider Red’ and then shaded them with ‘Agrax Earthshade’.
Here’s where it all went wrong. I tried to layer them with a 50:50 mix of ‘Mournfang Brown’ and ‘Troll Slayer Orange’ (I think). I was aiming for a slightly lighter shade of red-brown, but I ended up with a very pale terracotta colour, which was a really stark contrast with the layers beneath and not at all what I wanted.
I ended up having to repaint that layer with a new 50:50 mix of ‘Mournfang Brown’ and ‘Zamesi Desert’. Which I then highlighted with a 50:50 mix of ‘Mournfang Brown’ and ‘Ushabti Bone’.
I wanted to paint a camouflage pattern on their cloaks and I found a design I wanted to emulate through a Google image search. Unfortunately the person who painted the design I was referencing is a much better painter than me generally, and also used an airbrush. Although I have an airbrush I don’t have the skills to use it for anything other than base-coating.
That said I was happy with how mine turned out…
Until I applied weathering powders to it.
I like to use MIG ‘Standard Rust’ (P025) pigment powder as a weathering powder representing Martian dust. I’ve used it before and never had any problems. I then use MIG ‘Pigment Fixer’ to fix the weathering powder, by gently dabbing it on and letting it soak into the powders and dry.
It’s always worked before, but this time it seemed to mix with the powder turning it into a thick paint which would then dry leaving tide marks like a shade applied too thickly and allowed to pool.
I didn’t know how to fix it or undo it, and I got very frustrated. I wasted probably a week trying to apply powder every night and get it to dry looking like clinging Martian dust instead of stodgy brown opaque paint.
In the end I couldn’t solve it and had to make my peace with it and move on. If I hadn’t forced myself to carry on I’d still be there now painting the cloaks over and over again and slowly losing the will to paint ever again.
The guns I painted black and edge highlighted with ‘Dawnstone’ then edge highlighted only the upper surfaces with a mix of ‘Dawnstone’ and ‘Ice Blue’. But the end result was too bright, so I matted it all down with a coat of ‘Nuln Oil’ shade, which I proceeded to knock over and spill all over my palette.
I had a funny issue with the crosshairs on their sniper scopes. I painted them before highlighting the rifles and varnished them with ‘Ardcoat’ to protect them from being handled. But ironically, it was the varnish that caused a problem with them being handled. I noticed after a while that some of the crosshairs had moved off of centre, not smudged, moved. It turns out that if I applied a gentle pressure to the layer of varnish, it was moving around like a water-slide transfer that hasn’t dried, and moving the layer of paint beneath it too!
Despite everything I finally got to a stage where I was happy to call them finished. I like to throw caution to the wind, and live dangerously, by spraying my models with ‘Purity Seal’ spray when they’re finished. I’ve had problems with it clouding miniatures in the past, but I think I’ve solved that now. It’s just a case or REALLY SHAKING the can for A LONG TIME.
But just to be sure I still spray indoors in a small room with no ventilation to control environmental factors and now I can feel my throat and lungs coated with ‘Purity Seal’.
At the end of the album you can see some comparison photos with a similar Scout Squad I painted for my own Space Marine Chapter, ‘The Unity Marines’ about ten years ago. It’s always interesting to see how far (or not in my case) your painting ability has progressed and developed.
On to the next project!

Simple Bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter are having a facelift, so I painted a little mural in there, continuing their floral wallpaper and gradually turning it from brown to yellow to fit in with their new colour scheme.
A simplicidade e a complexidade de uma jangada são impressionantes! Amo-as na areia ou no mar.

Sometimes when I get frustrated I have to remember that a year ago I knew NOTHING about vectors.

A very simple christening cake for a lady who wanted just a pale blue christening cake for her son. Unfortunately I really struggle to leave things plain and ended up decorating with bubbles round the side of the cake.
