What are you doing today?

Working on replacing the power cord of this 1970s era Craftsman drill my father gave me. Insulation on the original cord had worn through.

I have several battery drills, but a good corded drill is always a bonus.

Hopefully successful

Its almost time to plant my 'spring' crop in my nearly non-existant garden.

One of these days i'll grow everything I need for my salsa in the garden.

I haven't read "Betrayal of Ideals" yet.

Was Clan Wolverine really that bad?

What was their true crime besides essentially telling Kerensky Jr to Bugger Off?

What am I missing? Inquiring minds want to know

Thoughts?

Jawa Welder & Bystander

This is one of the dozen or so Jawa themed pics I took last year.

The Jawa head is a custom head from JDibbertBricks on Instagram.

Tell her to move Here!

I love Fallout and Scooby-Do, so time for ANOTHER Mashup.

I'm not fully happy with this pic. Unwanted reflections.

My 'studio' is small and gets moved around so I struggle with consistency.

Love this quote.

I need to track it down. I've enjoyed your Fox Patrol Books. Always looking towards reading more BattleTech.

Send In The Clowns...

Part One...

Notes:

LEGO has made a lot of clowns over the years. This is one of them. I'm thinking I may take a few more pics of various Clowns in my collections.

The Great Hunt Begins.

My goal is to read all of the FASA era (if not all) BattleTech Novels over the next few years.

I need to start hunting for:

The Sword and the Dagger
by Ardath Mayhar

I know its never been reissued and prices online can be insane.

#battletech
#battletechnovels

Just finished the first one. Definitely enjoyed it. I liked the "small" story" which is a great intro do the BattleTech Saga versus the larger, epic sagas which can lose people.

I know its the first BattleTech book, and it feels like the Mechs are given more flexible attributes than appear later.

Bloody Hell...Finished! I Finished the Fox Stories. Excellent Stories.

No need to Fix Anything...except they need a Dire Wolf...because a Dire Wolf fixes everything...even if nothing needs needs Fixing.

Blimey....

I Blame Work...

Fixed all the BattleTech Fox stories by @swankmotron.com. Excellent.

Starting the Grey Death Trilogy by William H Keith, Jr.

Then the Warrior Trilogy by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social.

I've met Stackpole several times & talked Star Wars. Should have been talking Battletech

#battletech

I think im 18. No AOL address or waterbed

Latest Order is In.

So, I've placed a couple of orders for decals with different vendors, and am always looking for a sale. My Fortress Miniatures and Games order arrived last night.

Hopefully I can finish up my first round of First Kathil Uhlans this weekend.

Canopies are a B***ch

The Wolverine is the first of my First Kathil Uhlans. I need to do the decals and Base. Im doing the Vindicator, Wolverine, and Griffin from the Beginner Boxes. I'll also do the Locus and Thunderbolt

Finished the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social.

Excellent Trilogy. Love the Lore of BattleTech.

Taking a detour to the Dark Age era before heading back to his Warrior Trilogy.

I just started "Fox Tales" by @swankmotron.com.

Good so Far.

Coffee in the Inner Sphere and Periphery - Battletech Into The Future Coffee in the Inner Sphere and Periphery is a short essay by Professor Etienne Siroix, written on his way back from Terra.

Coffee...

I love It...

I was curious about Coffee and Battletech.

Found this article, Found it interesting.

A "Folgers" Private Security Force sounds like an interesting project.

Sadly, I've known about BattleTech from even before the trilogy was released. I read bunch of sourcebooks, data info, etc. Just never read any of the novels.

Foolish, Foolish Me.

Thanks for your kind words about the minis. I haven't done any minis in over a decade.

BattleTech is consuming me, lol

On the third novel (Lost Destiny) of the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social. I really should have read it thirty plus years ago.

Also working on some more BattleTech Minis.

I'm waiting for decals to arrive and then will 'seal' this Mech.

I think Im actually done.

I just finished Lethal Heritage, Book One of the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy. By @michaelastackpole.bsky.social.

Excellent Book. Kicking myself for waiting almost 35 years to read it.

Love Stackpole's work.

Read his work, especially "In Hero Years... . I'm Dead".
