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

A little #WIPWednesday. Working on some Dutch Kapers for Blood and Plunder as I prepare for the land tournament at Nova Open 2025. #wargaming #minipainting #miniwargaming #BrushwieldersUnion #Brushwielders #nerdlings #BloodAndPlunder #Pirates #NovaOpen #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

Finished up some NASA astronauts for “Lunar” by Black Site Studios. Next up on the table will be some Soviet Cosmonauts. #wargaming #minipainting #miniwargaming #BrushwieldersUnion #Brushwielders #nerdlings #Lunar #Nasa

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.

Doing a little #SpeedpaintSaturday with a test model of a NASA astronaut for “Lunar” by Black Site Studios. I have to say these guys paint up real quick! #BrushWielders #nerdlings #minipainting #Lunar #Wargaming #WePaintMinis

A couple of Minis finished up for the 2025 Great Pirate Paint-off sponsored by the Blood and Pigment blog. The first round of competition features Characters and Leaders. Here's a Generic Spy and the famous pirate Laurens De Graff. #BrushWielders #Nerdlings #Pirates #MiniPainting #BloodAndPlunder

It’s time for a #WIPWednesday! Continuing to play around with the slapchop method! Working on Laurens De Graff for Blood and Pigment’s Great Pirate Paintoff 2025. Hoping to have him done by this weekend. #WIP #Miniaturepainting #BrushWielders #Pirates #BrushWieldersUnion #Nerdlings #BloodAndPlunder

Trying out the slapchop method on a spy for Firelock Games’ Blood and Plunder.

It’s time for a #WIPWednesday! Finally getting around to trying the slapchop method everyone’s talking about and I’ve got to say, I see the appeal! Working on a spy for Blood and Pigment’s Great Pirate Paintoff 2025. Hoping to have her done by this weekend. #WIP #Miniaturepainting #BrushWielders

Finished it the other day but forgot to post my first mini of 2025. An orc war boss on a boar from the old 6th edition starter set. #PaintSlam25 #BrushWieldersUnion #nerdlings #TheOldWorld #Warhammer #orcs #WarhammerCommunity

If you see this, share some green art. Reckon orcs and goblins count. #Warhammer #WarhammerFantasy #TheOldWorld #Orcs #Goblins #BrushWieldersUnion #Nerdlings

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.

Next Saturday is shaping up to be a very expensive day for me! #warhammercommunity #TheOldWorld #EmpireOfMan #nerdlings

Thinking about joining in on #FestiveTankChallenge2024. Turns out I’ve had a Panzer IV
new on sprue gathering dust on my shelf for years. Reckon this is a good excuse to build and paint it. #FestiveTankChallenge #FlamesOfWar #nerdlings #scalemodling #BrushWieldersUnion #Wargaming

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
