Well, 2025 is about done and dusted and despite quite a few fun distractions along with a healthy dose of globetrotting this year, I managed to complete some models here and there that I was pleased with:
The Gaslands gods unequivocally compelled me to purchase this GT40 when I saw it on an endcap display the other day…

It’s a terrific game with a fast moving turn structure, wonderfully inviting for painting and modeling, and costs practically nothing for your models if you so choose.

OK I saw this in a display today and thought of @wei-yau.bsky.social . I’m seeing you make this into a Team Scarlett war rig by adding a pirate schooner floating in the tub.

That sounds like a perfect Gaslands game.

Welcome. It’s a really fun game system and the modeling aspect is so wide open it’s terrific.

Particularly great, I would say.

Well, how about an after action report?

Robert E Howard and Conan were my first and formative exposure to the fantasy/S&S genre. Today, I am really enjoying @liamsharp.bsky.social Conan (SS of Conan #11$ ) Liam simply stated, renders Conan pretty much precisely as I have imagined the character for 50 years. The art really speaks to me.

A cold rainy weekend was perfect for quality hobbying. While underway on some more Space Gits, I banged out some simple bitz that create build options for the Waaagh Rig as well as other Orky heavy trukks that are in the queue. First, a basic Krumpin’ Dekk, and a 5th wheel weapon mount.

That’s brilliant. Easy to cut and shape.

This is excellent. I really like your weathering. Is that a bit of fine metal screen that you snipped out?

Thank you! For me, it’s pretty much the same as painting miniatures, ie same brushes and acrylic paints followed by a hard clear acrylic top coat. When possible, I add the art to artificial nails & then attach. Here is Princess Jasmine flanked by an Ork Kill Team WIP. 😄🏁

That is a most excellent feeling, I would suggest.

I saw this announcement a while back and I honestly could not believe anyone would give this guy money to start a bank. The business plan is pure fancy sounding nonsense and buzzwords.

I’m not sure I have figured out how to use drag racers TBH.

While I acknowledge the appropriateness of this, we already have the “Waaaaagghh Rig” and Enzo’s surname is FerrarOrk, so we dare not deviate from the canonic lore.
