alek at the Doctor Who Exhibition coming down the stairs…
The highlight for me (as you might expect) was the Dalek.
Excellent exhibit which was also “animated” and spoke to you…

More digital imagery manipulation…
The Moxx of Balhoon
One of the nice things about the exhibition was the use of actual BBC costumes and props.
The Moxx of Balhoon was an alien from episode two.
Having seen previous costumes and props I was impressed with the quality (normally what looks good on TV looks terrible in real life).
Gunwagons on patrol…
These are two Forge World Ork Gunwagons on patrol on my new grassy photographic terrain.
…and here are the same Gunwagons with an Ork Landa.

Ork Landa amongst the green foliage of a jungle planet…
This is a picture of my Ork Landa on my grassy terrain.
I think the image works quite well and was one of the reasons I created the terrain.
You can find out how I painted my Landa on my Workbench feature.
Drive to the East
The next book in the Settling Accounts series from Harry Turtledove will be published soon, it is called Drive to the East.
The thrilling sequel to RETURN ENGAGEMENTS – the next part in this fascinating alternate history series by the creator of AMERICAN EMPIRE and WORLDWAR. It is 1942, and the Confederate States of America are locked in a tangle of jagged, blood-soaked battle lines with the United States of America. In Richmond, dictator Jake Featherston is shocked by what his own aircraft have done in Philadelphia – killing U. S. president Al Smith in a barrage of bombs. But he presses ahead with a secret plan on the dusty plains of Texas, where a so-called detention camp hides a far more evil purpose. The United States face a furious thrust by Confederate army into Pennsylvania. But with the industrial heartland under siege, Canada in revolt and US ships fighting against the Japanese in the Sandwich Islands, the most dangerous place in the world may be overlooked.
Though from the covers I do prefer the UK version.
The UK covers seem to have a theme of using actual World War Two hardware with Confederate colours, maybe this is something that wouldn’t wash in the US.
Settling Accounts: Drive to the East is published on the 9th August in the US and on the 10th October in the UK, though Amazon will sell you the US edition in the UK from the 9th August.
Feral Ork Airships
Though the scenery is mine, the models are in fact Warmaster Nice’s.
This image was edited digitally to include not one but two Airships.
Ork Junkatrukk in the lush green foilage…
Here is one of my Ork Junkatrukks skulking in the undergrowth.
Third and Fourth Doctors
From the Doctor Who Exhibition on Brighton Pier…
The exhibition in the first part covered the history of the previous doctors and behind each screen was a monster which could be seen when a light was illuminated.
This shows the third and fourth doctor and behind (you can see if you try hard enough) is a Sea Devil (there is a picture of one on the screen as well).
I hope that we do see the return of the Sea Devils.
