My sim racing setup really has coming together nicely!

It’s taken a year if small upgrades to get it to this point, one of the most game changing, yet silly was getting some shoes for it, a cheap pair that stay in the studio only to be used for this, not going outside so they stay clean, they were a massive upgrade.

The 9070XT was a pretty sweet upgrade and got me amazing frame rates in Forza Motorsport, and the shifter is great, even if just being used as a handbrake.

I 3D printed a couple of upgrades, the first was just some clips to help keep the Playseat Challenge together when not in use.

A little stand to sit on top of the wheel, to hold my phone that can be used as a screen for SimHub, which is super helpful.

I then wanted to print some fittings to allow me to mount the pedals on the frame properly, they tend to slip off when stored cause the Velcro isn’t great.

But, the first ones were a failure because the description was utterly wrong, and misleading, and didn’t support the Logitech pedals at all, which was very very annoying, wasted a lot of time and a bit of money on that!

Thankfully I did find an alternative STL which worked with the bolts I had bought, but I needed to wait until I got paid to get the velcro this one needed.

Next upgrade that I am printing is going to be a mount for the shifter, but I am thinking if printing that in PTEG for strength rather than PLA, I have bought some PTEG to print some Christmas presents with, so should have some left over for that. The only issue seems to be finding a left-hand drive STL, especially one that won’t require a ton of other hardware to fit it.

I also upgraded the springs in the pedals, buying a set to get them to be a bit more responsive!

I got those fitted and they really do make a big difference

But yeah its all coming together very nicely, just in time for me to start planning some upgrades!

I am planning on getting some new pedals in the new year, got my eye on the RS Pedals, which look to be wicked value for what they offer!

What I Am Modelling

I started out by painting these flying bases for my Aeronautica Imperialis planes to use them in Legions Imperialis

Then a 3D printed fallen Warhound Scout Titan head for my current terrain box project

After that I finished up a Master of Executions for the World Eaters Combat Patrol

I then turned my attention to the Arldari by painting some Windriders

And then a unit of Storm Guardians

Also a random Fire Dragon that was a model of the month a while back

After this I painted an Endrinmaster in Dirigible Suit for the Kharadron Overlords

I then painted up another fallen Titan head, this time a Warlord!

What’s next then?

  1. Blood Angels Landspeeders
  2. Heretic Legion Warband
  3. Tzzangors x 20
  4. Lord Vigilant on Gryph-Stalker
  5. Imperial Fists Veteran Breachers x 10
  6. Hearthkyn Warriors x 10 & Kâhl x 2
  7. Grey Knights Strike Squadron x 5
  8. Cthonian Beserks x 5
  9. Tech-Thralls x 20
  10. Lord-Terminos, Reclusians x 3 & Memorians x 2 

What I Am Reading

I am slowly making my way through Dropsite Massacre by John French

And I finished up The Relentless Dead by Steve Lyon, which was really good, actually gave some personality to the Krieg

I also listened to Time Works. also by Steve Lyons, and that was pretty good, very enjoyable 8th Doctor story!

What Tabletop Games I Am Playing

This Friday we played a Christmas Apocalypse game at the Hartlepool Club, and I came along as an NPC with my Warhound Titan attacking both sides!

What Video Games I Am Planning

I finished up Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Jack the Ripper

Played quite a bit more Hell Let Loose, some Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Peak!

We published the latest epsiode of Edge of Empire

And I finally got round to publishing the Legion Focus article on the Sisters of Silence

What I Am Spending

I picked up the Krieg Battleforce, which will be getting painted up to be my main 40K army next year

I did pick up a 1920×480 display to use as a sensor panel, but decided to return it because it’s just not what I was looking for at the time

I also bought a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, I used to have one but it got lost in a house move

It was in a terrible state, it absolutely stunk and needed a ton of isopropyl alcohol to clean up and get looking good, with so much stuff needing fixing, but it was a fun project!

It’s Humble Choice week, and this month I got

I also added to the library the following
