Wargamer lacking in focus with too many projects on the go and too many unfinished and unplayed. Wargaming on and off since the 70s.

Having a big tidy up today and uncovered some fountain pens that belonged to my uncle. They are not hugely valuable or rare I think but I'd quite like to get them working again if possible. Top is a Mabie Todd Calligraphic, middle a basic Osmiroid, and bottom a Wyvern Perfect Pen No 81.

Bloody long day at work. Twattery as always. But a pleasant evening home alone and daubagery...
Primed some more monks... As you so... And stuck the Voynuks to bases... And drank some vodka...

Work was only moderately shit today. Car failing its MOT more than made up for the lack of twattery. Did manage some painting...
I think they are done. Not my neatest but once based and flagged they will be fine. Varnish later or tomorrow....and alongside the ones I tried to match.

I'm 2 followers off 1.5K. I'd have more of that if I didn't block all the suspiciously lady-only-following accounts, but it would be nice to reach the next milestone. So if you're interested in TTRPGs, sketching, memes and snark, I'm yer woman.
Here's a Godzilla meme to tempt you in.

Unfortunately, this army's not gonna see much use here. Either one large or two small rifle platoons in Bolt Action with mortar and MMG, officers, a Hetzer, StuG, and Panther. Gauging interest here before eBay gets their hooks in - what *does* this kinda thing go for these days? 🤪

Last four Jannisaries done. Officer done. Whole lot done...
Trent Miniatures from Skytrex and a Warlord officer.
Enjoyed doing these. I've got a nice little Ottoman skirmish force now.

A simple one today, painted for me by my daughter, as I dust off the medals ready to take a walk to the local remembrance parade. A time to remember the sacrifices made by so many on all sides.

Finished the four Jannisaries. Redid one of the waistcoats for a bit of variety. Varnish and base tomorrow. Would attempt tonight... but... vodka...
And some bits arrived from Heresy Miniatures... All for Devilry Afoot...
