Gotta go with Spies Like Us, a movie I have probably watched dozens of times, but maybe not since I was growing up?

The fence lizards in our front yard must have hatched another set of eggs because I saw a few of these little dudes (~1 inch long) running around this morning

Well I've got my first fall painting project off the ground, going to add to my tyranids. Still love having an airbrush for priming and base coating.
Tyranid Onslaught Storm miniatures from warhammer 40k assembled, primed, and base coated green. One large mini (norn emissary) has armor pieces starting to be colored in burgundy.

Spent yesterday in Bruges, which is always* a good time.

*Two times total

Week 1 of 4 in Belgium down! One cool place we took the students was Cantillon, a brewery that produces lambic-type beers using environmental yeasts. Lambics are a Belgium-only specialty (though other kinds of natural fermented beers exist all over the place) Lots of microbiology going on!
B&W image of the sign out front of the Cantillon brewery. A silhouette of a man leaning back in a chair drinking made of metal sheet is suspended under the cut-out text CANTILLON The coolship (or koelschip)-- a large (meters) shallow dish of copper that cools the wort and exposes it to natural yeasts and bacteria to start the fermentation A display in the Cantillon brewery with various posters and objects

I leave for another August study abroad in Belgium soon so I'm trying to do some quick painting stuff before I go. Did these three Skaven minis yesterday and a little bit this morning.
Skaven Doom Flayers and an Arch-Warlock miniatures from warhammer age of sigmar all painted up. Lots of metallics and washes kept it fast.

Wash step is the best step
Thanquol and Boneripper from warhammer Age of Sigmar WIP. This picture has the model base coated with a few details but is generally flat. The same Thanquol and Boneripper WIP. This picture has the model after a few washes have been applied, bringing some depth to the model.

More progress on Thanquol and Boneripper, just about ready for washes and then onto shading/lighting. This has been a fun one to work on.

Made some more decent progress today (I am a pretty slow painter)
