John Phillips screaming hand
I have been waiting for some time to do a 3D print of the famous John Phillips screaming hand.
Got it as a 3D file.
Printed it 50% for a test, very pleased with the result.

Tintin and Snowy go to the International Film Festival
I had kippers on toast for breakfast today – decided that the can would make an ideal back drop for the model.
Got banner from web and printed to card.
Text box filled with red for carpet.
Already had figures, so a quick build before lunch.
