Wargamer lacking in focus with too many projects on the go and too many unfinished and unplayed. Wargaming on and off since the 70s.

Having a big tidy up today and uncovered some fountain pens that belonged to my uncle. They are not hugely valuable or rare I think but I'd quite like to get them working again if possible. Top is a Mabie Todd Calligraphic, middle a basic Osmiroid, and bottom a Wyvern Perfect Pen No 81.

Bloody long day at work. Twattery as always. But a pleasant evening home alone and daubagery...
Primed some more monks... As you so... And stuck the Voynuks to bases... And drank some vodka...

I'm 2 followers off 1.5K. I'd have more of that if I didn't block all the suspiciously lady-only-following accounts, but it would be nice to reach the next milestone. So if you're interested in TTRPGs, sketching, memes and snark, I'm yer woman.
Here's a Godzilla meme to tempt you in.
