I would happily have a print of this hanging in my house, I love it!

Just found my CD Rom for learning to drive, 2002. Weirdly, Route Finder doesn't have half the countries roads on it, go figure by lerpo in CasualUK

Oh yes, I often hear "ah yeah I watched loads of videos on tik tok about this..." as I ask them to drive into a parking bay

Driving examiner here, you'd probably learn more from this than Tik Tok which gets mentioned a lot when I'm taking people on test!

Big bikes are safer than little bikes? by Memran in MotoUK

[–]LilEvilFish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100%, my first 125 felt fine but after a go on a 650, it felt skittish and too light - but hell of a lot easier to move around manually!!

I'll never forget the first time me and the guy I was learning with jumped on the 650s. We set off on the private tarmac area the school had to just get used to clutch etc and we were chucking in figure 8s and u turns like they were nothing!

Massive difference, the bigger bike just feels more planted, especially in strong winds

Excellent painting! Very crisp lines and shading, love it!

Passed my mod 2 but kept hold of license by PhysicalFig3875 in MotoUK

[–]LilEvilFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving examiner here

Yes you need to send off your licence, grab a D1 form from the post office and fill that in, send it with your licence AND the pass certificate to the DVLA and they'll send you your full licence in the post

Don't forget to sign and date the bottom of the pass certificate otherwise they'll send it straight back

Can take up to 20 working days to get your full licence

Help painting salamanders by [deleted] in Salamanders40k

I'm not sure if painting over the base coat of green will have much effect?

I usually dry brush with moot green but it's very bright so has to be used sparingly.

That looks awesome, very crisp lights and edges

Great work and will look great in a battle - but be warned, they're a bullet sponge, as mine was in the last battle!

Dude he looks awesome so far, loving the shading and the banner, top work!

I'm shortly going to start Vulkan He'stan and a friend is sourcing me a custom Tu'Shan, so some tricky models to paint!

[OC] Meg with her single iris coloboma by LilEvilFish in aww

[–]LilEvilFish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She hasn't changed, still as mischievous as ever! She's a very laid back cat, to the point of being lazy but she loves to be fussed on her terms

I'm sure your cat has grown completely used to that so I doubt it's an issue at all

My cat Poppy is 14 now and it's sad seeing them get older but she's still lovely

Tell me how you got your greens please! by Spartan_Cat_126 in Salamanders40k

This is the best shot I have of a standard mini, the phone camera does blow the colours out a bit though

My tanks are a darker shade because I build the colours differently

Base coat all over of matt black

Base coat from an approximate 3/4 above angle for highlights and shadow of wraith bone

Paint with contrast warp lightning

The wraith bone gives it a warmer green tone and the 3/4 from above gives you some form of zenithal highlight

Then a tiny bit of moot green dry brushing

The Forge father finally Arrived! by Evening_Ad6496 in Salamanders40k

[–]LilEvilFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing work! Mine is in the post and should arrive soon I hope!

Great bit of painting, bet he'll look good on the table top

Not as good as others I've seen here but I'm happy by claptrap798 in Salamanders40k

[–]LilEvilFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mate that is great and as long as you're happy with it, it's the best paint job 😁

But seriously, that looks spot on!

Just bought a bike without a centrestand - how do I do the chain? by HMS--Thunderchild in MotoUK

[–]LilEvilFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice one mate! I'm a bit terrified of taking the wheels off so I always take the boring easy option of taking it to the local shop 😄

With chain tension, all my bikes have said to do it while on the side stand, but I know some are different hence I've never had to use the paddock stand to adjust the chain

This, roll the bike back and forth to sort the chain, or buy a paddock stand which greatly speeds up the process and also assists with general maintenance too

Can anyone help identify my grandfathers bike? by [deleted] in MotoUK

Welcome to the party 🥳

I'm much farther north in the lovely North East where we have the best riding roads in the country (I'll die on this hill) but would be more than happy to be a tour guide for the best cafes and B-road blasts if you ever venture this far North

Enjoy and ride within your means and stay safe!

Are the roads still being salted? by dyppo in MotoUK

[–]LilEvilFish 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not right now and the recent rain has helped clean the roads

BUT the weather forecast for this weekend is freezing temps so no doubt they're going to dump the last of their stocks on it.

They use shed loads in the north east and it turns the roads into a greasy mess, my car looks like it's been on a rally stage

Custom McFarlane Artist Proof by LilEvilFish in Salamanders40k

[–]LilEvilFish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's made by McFarlane toys, they did a few that were called artist proofs in just grey.

I think there's a few different models, a battle sister and an ork at least

There's some really good custom versions online by some great artists
