A silver Bengal cat named Louie, lounging on his stomach on his brown-colored heated pad, which sits on a cat pillar. Silver Bengals look like mini snow leopards.

A current project from the backlog pile. Stained, copper caps in place. Need to add leather grips and some runes/symbols/decorations.
A five-foot-six wooden staff, about an inch and a half in diameter. The ends have copper caps.

Did a quick refresh on this old Epic scale diorama.
A diorama of two Eldar Tempest grav tanks in red and black Saim-hann scheme squaring off against a green and bone Imperial Warlord titan. They are on a road lined with trees, in front of a paper model of Notre Dame.

Quick typo check:

"Souslike", which while delicious, I think is missing the l.

It's #BoltAction day! 2v2 Germans v. Americans. My artillery platoon backing up a mechanized infantry force.

My job is to handle enemy armored forces.

The guns will speak their terrible words.
Two WW2 German heavy amti-tank guns flanking a single super-heavy, with their crews. A spotter for the suoer-heavy and an officer for the platoon. 28mm models for the game Bolt Action.

And here's the three artillery pieces with their crews. @warlordgames.com #BoltAction #wargaming
A WW2 German Flak 88 emplacement flanked by two Pak.40 anti-tank guns. These are Warlord Games Bolt Action miniatures, save for the 88 which is a resin-printed piece. They are based with beige stones and grass flock. There's four artillery crew for each of the smaller guns, and seven for the larger 88mm cannon.

A little anti-tank firepower for my Bolt Action Germans.
A pair of WW2 German Pak.40 heavy anti-tank guns. They are painted a mottled light brown, the cannon barrel is grey. they're mounted in a two-wheeled chassis for towing. The base is an oval, about six inches long by four inches wide. The base is flocked with gravel and patches of grass, and the guns are set up behind bushes. Expertly camouflaged. Ish.

Obviously, you need...AEROTRAIN.

Another fine GM product.
A black and white photo of the GM Aerotrain, a streamlined locomotive with a high set control cabin like a jet fighter cockpit and a big ole nose holding a horizontal oval containing 4 headlights. The psssenger cars are a fixed rake, permanently connected.

Both.
the GMDH-1, built by General Motors Canada. It is a streamlined railroad switcher with strikingly forward-raked noses at either end, and a center cab. It is all curves. This one is in GM demonstrator paint./ A light blue roof, white middle, and blue stripes on the botton, sweeping up each nose. Unit 800.

An idea for #ttrpg non-metallic currencies to help space up your worldbuilding. Tea! Pressed tea discs, bricks, and bars were used as trade currencies, but could easily be adapted for your game world.
A cylinder of pressed tea discs. Each disc is about two inches in diameter, and are a dark brown with visible leaves. The discs are scored on the back to allow them to be easily snapped in half. The cylinder is wrapped in bamboo "paper" and tied off with hemp twine. There's 20 discs in the cylinder, which is about ten inches long.

Magnets, how do they even work?

And there's the weapons teams. Once dry, I'll add grass to the various bases to break up the gravel.
WW2 Bolt Action minis. In back, two hesvy machine gun teams, a medium machine gun team, two medium mortar teams. In front, a sniper team and a light mortar team.

Good enough fod the Wehrmacht. I'm painting these to the Three Foot Rule. They're wargaming models, not competition pieces. :)

Painting the rims is last, we call it the "Victory Lap".
18 WW2 German artillery troops. The eight on the left are less detailed due to being cheaper resin troops. They die first, of course.
