Yes with your info on Baccus and Nellkyn’s on Pendraken it’s less concerning thanks 🙂

Thanks for another great update Alex. I managed to find my battlegroup pre-order at Salute in the end 😅. I agree with your comments about the show which I enjoyed. It was disappointing that some historical traders weren’t there- Baccus, Pendraken, Anschluss. Cause or effect?

Ah no worries. I saw the photo you posted of your French line infantry a few days ago and thought it was recent but it must have been an older photo ( I recognise your bench lol!)😂 have a good weekend anyway

Happy Friday Tom. Hope you have a good weekend! Looks like you are back home for a few days.

Great fun as always. So much enthusiasm for this game from those who try it for the first time and see how easy it is to pick up

Happy Friday Tom 😎

This has been my favourite one of the day this year <sigh> if only…

Hobby dropship delivery today. Old skool 2nd Ed 40K codex.
@tomjmegan.bsky.social will be upset but I’ll be using this for running Red Corsairs rather than for the boys in blue 😜

After a gap of almost twenty years it’s time to get reacquainted with the book of Gideon.

Your games always look so well presented!

Storage goals! Where do you recommend for RUB inserts @stormofsteel.bsky.social ? I currently get mine from Sally 4th Miniatures but looking for alternatives.

Picked this up secondhand from a museum bookshop today. What a cover! 😍

It almost looks like a tiger! Amazing the level of additional armour that crews rigged up as improvisation.

Fantastic detail and shading/highlighting at that scale 😍

Lovely job Joe! Love all the sandbags as additional armour!

This model was inspired by reading about the DSO awarded action of Maj John Powell of this Canadian unit at Keppeln in the Hochwald on 26feb 1945. Link below if anyone is interested about reading further. #wargaming

#festivetankchallenge A day late on completion but finally finished my Sherman after being away for a few days. Modelled as a Firefly of C-Sqn 6th Armoured Regiment (1st Hussars) of 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade. Thanks as always to @tomjmegan.bsky.social for the motivation. #wargaming #scalemodels

Basecoat on today. Added some cut-up gauze bandage dipped in pva around the front chassis and on the turret and gun barrel to model hessian camo net and foliage.

I picked up a great hardback edition of Mark Zuehlke’s Ortona book at Warfare 2025 show in November. Looking forward to reading more about this battle in 2026

That’s solid progress Rachel. Looks good 😎 just go at your own pace and enjoy the build. Look forward to seeing your tank completed

Superb 😍

Back to work today so not as much progress on #festivetankchallenge but still got overall assembly and extra stowage added as per @tomjmegan.bsky.social although I’ve skipped the extra armour and going hatches open. Hopefully painting tomorrow #wargaming #scalemodels

According to the noise outside my window at 6am this morning mine was today 🙈
