Verdi; or, uh, Verd; or Verdigris04, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.

Michigander goof who likes all sorts of stuff.

Goodbye to Diane Keaton. You were great in the first two Godfather films; two landmark films in a long and storied career. RIP.

I think one of the first ones I remember reading was the Sláine story "The Tomb of Terror". My local comics shop here in the US got a bunch of 2000AD progs somehow during the 80s, and I bought every one of them. That Sláine story was one of the first 2000AD stories that really stuck with me.

This was my gateway into horror.

Another FDM Ork done (though obviously in need of some stringing cleanup). This one's a "burna boy" from Blue Sky Minis. I like this one because he's pausing to light up a smoke, either before or after causing some mayhem.

Continuing on with my adventures in FDM printing miniatures: I may have printed out a couple of orks (again, both from DakkaDakka Store on MMF). I may or may not also have a third one going on the FDM printer behind me...

Post a blonde

(as a blond dude, I highly endorse this idea 😁)

Hopping on the current bandwagon of "printing minis in FDM", I appear to have printed an Orc "Slasher 'noid" from DakkaDakka Store (purchased via MyMiniFactory).

Playing around with a cheap lightbox I ordered off Amazon, and testing some image edit options on my phone. Minis all from the plastic Gunfighters kit by Great Escape Games.

"I've lost my TARDIS; you've lost your memory. I'd be surprised if the two events weren't connected."

After a break fighting The Dreaded Lurgy, resuming my 5th Doctor rewatch with Mawdryn Undead.

Feeling a bit better, but not quite up to handling a brush with any accuracy, so I decided instead to do something less precise and apply pigments to some cowboys I painted up months ago, to give 'em the "dusty trail" look. Here's one as an example.

A brief interruption to the 5th Doctor rewatch, as I've just gotten some plastic Viking miniatures in from Victrix, and I decided to put on a DW story with some Vikings in it while I work on the figures, to put me in the right mood. What story could it be, I wonder...

"Dreams are important, Nyssa. Never underestimate them."

Next up in the 5th Doctor rewatch is Snakedance, the sequel to the previous season's Kinda.

"You know how it is; you put things off for a day and next thing you know, it's a hundred years later."

Moving on to Arc of Infinity in my Fifth Doctor rewatch, which gives us a glimpse of the future Sixth Doctor with @oldsixie.bsky.social as Commander Maxil.

"Behind every illusion there's a conjurer. In this case I shouldn't think he went to all this trouble for our entertainment."

It's time for Time-Flight in my rewatch. Because they can't all be winners, I guess.

Interrupting the Dr Who rewatch to bring you a test model for my WW2 British 8th Army in North Africa. Been meaning to get back to them, and I like how this chap turned out. Mini by @warlordgames.com .

"When did you last have the pleasure of smelling a flower, watching a sunset, eating a well-prepared meal?"

And moving on to Earthshock in my 5th Doctor rewatch. The Cybermen are probably my favorite DW villains, and this is a really great reintroduction to them.

"Well...it wouldn't be cricket."

On to Black Orchid, the 5th Doctor's sole "pure historical" story, with the TARDIS crew in a 1920s Agatha Christie-style murder mystery.

"Consider this a fortuitous mistake. It isn't everyone who gets the chance to wander around their own history."

Continuing my rewatch of the 5th Doctor's era with The Visitation, one of my personal favorite stories.

"An apple a day keeps the... Ah. No, never mind."

And so it's on to Kinda, one of the undisputed classics of the Fifth Doctor's era.

"Now listen to me, you young idiot."

The Fifth Doctor says what everyone else is thinking, in Four to Doomsday. While I watch this, I have two 3D printers churning out some organizers for my miniature paints, allowing me to indulge 3 nerdy interests at the same time.
