Been a while since I posted any model painting. I've got a lot to get on with.

This is what social media is for and excels at.

Today is 'Blue Monday Monday' - the anniversary of the day in 2005 when Sky Travel came up with the spurious concept of 'Blue Monday' as a way of selling holidays.

Please enjoy 'Blue Monday' by New Order

I went to block him and noticed that I have 64 mutuals still following him here on bsky, so I'm sharing this. Heed the TW, I haven't been able to get through the entire article yet.
I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it.

TW: rape, abuse, coercion, and child sex abuse.

Miniature painting question: how do you get around the freezing weather (and snow!) issue of priming when it won't dry properly?

Post Christmas mental health did it's thing so I've been in hiding...

But I have looked proudly back on my return to Warhammer and painting since February and it's been amazing. First miniatures are at the top and onward to the bottom finishing at Christmas with snowmen. More painting in 2025!

Question from a 46 year old man.

Do ANY men know how to wrap presents nicely?
I've never been able to do it. Ever.
Is it something girls are taught in secret in school?

Please don't shoot this down as sexism.
Would love to know if there's a man out there that is good at this stuff.
