Frenchie, bulldog, pets, animals

Another wonderful looking model, it was a joy to paint

Another model with old parts, head and chain axe specifically. Over all I'm satisfied with this dude

Constructed from a monopose kit, using older Khorne heads, chainsword was too fiddly to change so...

If you think you are having a bad day, take a look at this. It is one of those real "Oh Shit!" moments in history! A bit of a disaster, this one... The blue things were a couple of heavy-lift gantry cranes at a shipyard on the Huang-Pu river, near Shanghai, China。 They have both toppled down onto a large container ship under construction in a dry-dock - and knocked the ship off its blocks and right across to the side of the dock. This photo was taken about 5 or 6 weeks after the incident and dismantling of one of the heavy lift gantry cranes is already underway. What they will do with the ship, I have no idea. (It may be possible to float it and get it back into the middle of the dock, after the wreckage of the gantry cranes has been removed? It could also be a complete write-off and they may even end-up having to break the ship up too, salvage what bits they can and start building a new one?) Whatever. This is one Chinese shipbuilding disaster that is going to cost a LOT of money!! Photo taken from on board c.s. Wave Venture, on passage down the Huang-Pu between Shanghai and Wusong - September, 2008 The ship in the foreground is the Dapeng Star, a gas tanker under construction and the container ship in the dry-dock is the Xin Fei Zhou

Photo taken from aboard c.s. Cable Retriever, departing Subic Bay, Philippines - April, 2008 The following information on the motor yacht 'Sarsen' is an extract from: www.sarsen.com.au/ship_facts.html Sarsen was built in 1970 as a North Atlantic survey vessel. She was equipped with an ice-strengthened hull for this purpose. Sarsen underwent a major refurbishment in 1986, and again in 2006 where she was converted into an intimate charter vessel. The winches used for pulling the large fishing nets have been removed, the stern has been altered to incorporate a landing platform, a small swimming pool and large outdoor dinning area with BBQ facilities...
