The obvious conclusion from this is that Bigfoot is shy and retiring, while giant squids have an exhibitionist kink (nothing wrong with that).

Yes, there is a relevance to military history in that, why do you ask?

Jean-François Cudennec @jfcudennec.bsky.social · 1d

Just sayin

Chart comparing the number of camera, the number of giant squid footages and the number of bigfoot footages.

Number of giant squids rises as the number of camera increase, but not the number of bigfoot.

I've spent years on and off curating a playlist of Halloween music that's listenable, a bit creepy and avoids any of the seasonal cliches. Spans alt-rock, rock, rap and electronica and I absolutely love it at this time of year music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

If we're sharing couples art I absolutely have to share my favourite commission ever, this wedding cake topper. Commissioned by the bride it depicts her and her groom as 40k characters. Kitbashed sculpted and repositioned, I even got them to hold hands. I would LOVE to do another. 😍

The bride was based on Greyfax with an AoS veiled head. The groom is based on a Death Guard. Tuxedo Death Guard is so good and makes me want a whole army like that. 😂 His arm that's holding her hand was three different pieces I think, with the hand coming from a Blight King. His hat was Greyfax's, with some sculpting on top to make it a top hat.
The emojis on the banner cover the couple's name and the date which I freehanded on. I think I'd do the writing with waterslide transfers in the future, it would just look more professional because I write like a child. 🙂

I'll be at the Hartenstein Airborne Museum this coming weekend along with @jurdj.bsky.social, @clogfather.bsky.social, @eltjov.bsky.social & Nick Skinner.

Rainy and gloomy here.

It’s an INTERPOL kind of day.

Some awesome terrain building skills on display here. But it looks even better in the real (and you can see the astounding detail on the miniatures!). And yes, I will be there too, happy to talk about what's going on (and what went on there 81 years ago)
