Orb’s Miniature World 💙

#artvsartist #artvsartist2025 #miniaturepainting There’s a lot going on in the background, but I’m really pleased with my output this year. Getting more confident and doing a big range of scales. Plus a full figure sculpt as well.

@rospigge60559 The US use a version of the CB90 as an assault boat, the Riverine Assault Craft.

If you want to hunt submarines in the Baltic… speed matters. shallow draft matters. local knowledge matters. Enter the Swedish CB90.

Another Space Wolf Space Marine…this time a Grey Hunter.

@garychalkpics There’s a great beetroot curry recipe in the very first cookbook I got by Madhur Jaffrey. Absolutely delicious!

Of course we do. Cold in a salad with slices of orange or baked with herbs and some balsamic vinegar to accompany a roast. Any more stupid questions?

@donmcgowan @karamballes @LBC @NickFerrariLBC Yep…he’s all in on the lies. And yesterday Clare Foges had a climate denier on about North Sea oil. Foges nodded along.

I just turned on @LBC to hear @NickFerrariLBC open his show with a MASSIVE LIE. The spreading of misinformation about Harman Singh Kapoor being arrested. Ferrari claimed it was because he refuses to sell halal meat. IT WAS NOT. Singh Kapoor threatened protesters with his kirpan knife and said he was 'prepared to take a life'. The performative refusal to sell halal meat had nothing to do with it. This is a lie being spread online by the far-right and now picked up and being exacerbated by the media. Singh Kapoor is a well known figure within the far-right and fanboy of Tommy Robinson. That LBC are promoting this man's rhetoric is beyond shameful. Ofcom complaint incoming LBC, this is disgusting that there is zero fact checking for this show.

@I_amMukhtar Nick Ferrari on LBC has picked up this on his show this morning. Going straight in with arrested for not selling halal meat…..

One of the boys from that viral video explains what really happened. It wasn't a protest.

I’m being watched…..

@Timcast How much did Russia pay you for this one?

We need regime change in the UK

@Look_its_Rhonda Ahhh the guy who decided to hire a private security force to patrol our town centre last year.

@TheCinesthetic Don’t forget to check out Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s source material - awesome graphic novels. Another movie based on Moore’s work he refused to be associated with.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) is messy, over-the-top, and completely ridiculous, but the idea of classic literary characters forming a Victorian-era superhero team still makes it oddly entertaining.

@AndyAitcheson Think I’ve got up to episode 4, but got distracted….need to really let myself get into it. Currently Slow Horsing around and hooked after a couple of episodes….

Giving The Wire a go. 24 years late. Any good?

@DrChrisParry @BeaverWestminst It’s also not true, and you, as someone seeking political office, should do better research before posting in public. Disgraceful.

Looks like an ideological assault on liberty to me.

@Nobbie_OCs The artist really tried to copy Ron Volstad’s style of colour plate illustration for Osprey uniform books, and I’m all for it!

Man, the Colonial Marines really do have some of the best SciFi military drip, don't they? (I found a good condition copy of the technical manual, so I'm on my USCM stuff again)

@SuffolkMatthew @holland_tom Ah, now you’re implying I said something I didn’t. Well done! You didn’t read the thread from Emma I posted that you replied to, did you? Otherwise you’d know it is only guidance, and covers all religions, and no one has follow them.

@Orbness @holland_tom Ah the crime of noticing. You don’t like people noticing.

“Respect for religious traditions should not undermine the requirement for all pupils to have a broad & balanced curriculum.” “[Students should not] reproduce images of Jesus, Prophet Mohammed or other figures considered to be prophets in Islam.” 🤔 new.calderdale.gov.uk/sites/default/…

@SuffolkMatthew @holland_tom Seems a lot a faff suddenly stirred up about something that’s been around for years and no one battered an eyelid until certain media commanded them to.

@Orbness @holland_tom Seems a lot of faff when we could just assert the dominant, ancestral culture and invite people who don’t like it to consider whether this is the best place for them.

@holland_tom Come on Tom, you’re better than this. Please look at this debunk. Guidelines under the previous government, “blasphemous” never mentioned.

Can it REALLY now be an official government diktat that children in primary school, say, are forbidden to draw Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden or the baby Jesus in the manger?

@MichelleMa85250 You are a very very stupid person.

@milmodelscene Take care Robin. Hope you recover well and quickly. We miss you

#jffcancerresearch I apologise for not contributing and supporting everyone as usual, but I am currently in hospital and have been rather ill. Looking forward to get back to joining you all soon.

@TheCinesthetic For me it would be Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai. As a 15 year old it had me captivated for the whole movie. It is glorious.

What’s the one foreign-language film you’d recommend to someone who only watches English movies?

Warhammer 40K Termagaunt. Another Mini of the Month. A bit of a quickie from me. Started this on Thursday, most of it was done in two hours but it needed more, so finished yesterday. Had to break a few of my historical painting “rules” to make it look alien, and I had a blast!
