I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

Our country has never been more divided, but Americans across the spectrum of backgrounds, regions, religions, ideologies, and all our other myriad differences just watched Artemis II launch and felt proud. That's pretty great. Thanks, NASA.

More testing for #ClogLard today. No more stand-in buildings, but there’s still a lot to do before take off in two weeks. #wargaming #spreadthelard

Back in May of last year, it was ~18% of the total, so not great...

It is tiny for 28mm. 😜

Lots of progress this weekend on my CoC game for Historicon. All buildings from Total Battle Miniatures. First up, a garage. #spreadthelard

Jacobite Rebellion 1745 - Manchester's Regiment

3D printed Sherman Firefly from Avernes Miniatures with AB tank commander and stowage. Shot in front of a HandiWorks Backdrop. Decals are 28mm Rubicon and work surprisingly well.

Some more garage WIP for Historicon. #spreadthelard

Typical Sunday of trying to make paper look like enameled metal.

I finished painting a small church for my western table. This will give a nice centre piece terrain, and also make for a different shaped building.

Lots of stand-ins, but it’s time for a new test for our #ClogLard scenario. As usual impossible to do without the help of @sabotag3d.bsky.social and @tabletopstudios.bsky.social #spreadthelard #wargaming

Been a little quiet lately, but I've actually finished something those last few days. Two 1/72 Shermans for my Canadians and a Soviet Lend-Lease M3 arrayed in front of a HandiWorks background.

I made myself a Saxon cornhūs for #pillage. I wanted to try out the scouring pad method for thatching buildings. I think it came out well so I’ll likely use it on a good few more. #nerdlings #wargaming #terrainmaking #miniterrain
