Decided to try a few new things for the first time. First time using Speed Paints from @thearmypainter.bsky.social and my first time ever doing a model for @battletech.bsky.social. Pretty happy with the result! #wargaming #nerdlings #battletech #BrushwieldersUnion #Brushwielders #WePaintMinis

I’ve given tours to Sigourney Weaver and the President of Micronesia. I gave a tour with Susan Eisenhower of her father’s home and tours of the Capitol with Vice President Biden and Rep. John Lewis. All that pales in comparison to meeting Babydog…#TourguideLife

While cleaning the attic my dad discovered what looks like the outline of the Stanley cup on the floor. He has a group of Canadian friends who make a yearly pilgrimage to visit and take photos of it.

Made it in just under the wire for #FestiveTankChallenge2024. Still need to buy some decals for it so I’ll probably post an update in the future. For now though, here’s a heavily weathered DAK Panzer IV. Can’t wait to see next years tank! #FestiveTankChallenge #Wargamers #BrushWieldersUnion

Update for #FestiveTankChallenge24: got my basecoat and initial wash done. Just finished a dry brush over it. Next up will be some different contrast and speed paints to bring out details. Might pop down to the hobby shop to see if they have 15mm decals. #FestiveTankChallenge

Between changing diapers and some last minute wrapping I’ve completed assembly on the Panzer IV for #FestiveTankChallenge2024. Just need to magnetize the turret, clean some mould lines and (maybe) add some stowage. Then it’s off to the priming table.

Had the pleasure of teaching one of my coworkers how to play “Blood and Plunder” last night. My English Privateers narrowly defeated his Spanish Militia after a turn 5 thunderstorm turned the battle for the objectives into a desperate melee. #BloodAndPlunder #MiniatureWargaming #Wargaming #Pirates
