Convoy PQ-6 carrying 31 Light Tanks M3 departed Iceland #OTD in 1941. These were the first American tanks to be used by the Red Army, with more than 1200 units arriving before shipments stopped in 1943. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it’s not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. - Dwight Eisenhower

First Tyranid I’ve ever painted, I think I did alright. I tried to give the flesh some depth.

Happy Model Monday to all.

This week, we have the second half of a Heavy Support squad. They were to finish out a volkite squad I did some time ago.

I was outlining a new short story and the words were flowing, character-specific quotes were plopping on the page, my typing fingers were tingling with delight!

And I ended up plotting a novel. 🙄

Having read the 88 page judgment that lead to the EHRC issuing its guidance, I’m curious what will happen when women find themselves sharing toilets with trans men?
Kishwer Falkner in The Times talking about the rights of "biological people". As compared to trans people, who are, of course, non-biological.

Enjoying steadily working on my 6mm French Napoleonic army.
Two regiments of infantry completed with some cavalry and artillery.
Nice to see this project grow quite quickly, perfect for the little spare time I have to knock out a unit or two every now and then.

A list of first impressions on Valentine tanks used by the Red Army was submitted #OTD in 1941. The tanks were described as well armoured and easy to drive, but had low top speed, low range, and poor mobility on snow and ice. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
