Guy, I can't thank you enough for asking me to help you guys work on this piece of Warhammer history. It was truly an honour to work with yourself David and Hatty on this incredible project. It's still a shock to me that we managed to get it done in 3 days AND get to party in between haha! My workshop is always open to you brother! I hope we can work together on a project again soon!

[@exetercosplay]

It was a huge honour to work on this with you ❤ the chance to chisel a piece of GW history is something I'll cherish forever! I think if there was ever an epic GW bingo card or bucket list, I can say I've thoroughly ticked it. Here's to more craziness in 2024!!

The way your son said “Thraka” was so incredibly adorable. That’s a future warboss right there.

[@madgamingterrain8566]

Hey Guy, well what can I say but Thank you, you are a star and now I have an actual big massive Imperial Fist Space Marine watching over me and everyone that comes to the shop. He is awesome and you all did a fantastic job, it was great having you there for the 2 days to add all the additional details and superb battle damage. Tell Hatty Im still very sad that she would not have any coffee's that I offered her :-( ALSO ....... It has a Chaos Icon 🥺 I already feel slightly corrupted

[@bakednerd]

So Andy the shop owner's favourite chapter is the Imperial Fists, and you turned up with a full size version of one for him. not only that, but it was escorted by a Warlord Titan best day ever I think. lol

[@MidwinterMinis]

... don't forget the dog, too! Haha

[@sploog716]

I was so curious as to when you were gonna work on the life sized marine. It's nice to see him get a fresh coat of paint again.

[@fictionmyth]

The "ANDY" on the bottom of the foot was *chef's kiss*. It was just so cute, wholesome, funny, and serendipitous to the new owner that I kinda teared up at how heartwarming it was. That, plus the signatures, and just the project as a whole, was a really great thing to see. Some of the best parts of gaming groups and the communities as a whole that surround them is when they come together like this. The shop will get visitors who come just to see the fister and the ones who didn't know will instantly ask about it and be amazed. Andy will never forget you all for various reasons but I'm sure this is a jewel in that crown of memories. Good work, Brother. We are one with the Emperor, our souls are joined in his will.

[@robertaustin6302]

Seeing Andy smiling ear to ear at the end was incredible!

[@Biggles369]

What is really brilliant about this channel is that you two are not churning out the same old stuff. This was a brilliant project and I love how you are supporting the community. Even the sponsor promo was fun. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with in 2024.

Andy is a legend. Glad he gets to keep that bad boy, it looks awesome, I'll have to go and see it the next time I visit colchester to see my family.
