As you know I paint freehands on cloaks of my miniatures from time to time, and I started doing that many years ago. This is for example a freehand that I painted on the cloak of Torquemada Coteaz back in 2015 so quite a while ago 🙂 #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #acrylicpainting

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools.

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

Yeah, sadly the closest current equivalent is the maneuver-short range air defense, which really works out to a couple packs for 4 stingers

Scenario.

U.S. war of choice in Venezuela gets bogged down, strikes become limited invasion, become forever counter insurgency war….

U.S. less able to come to Taiwan’s aid (which is questionable anyway)… China wins big

How many people in USA care about Venezuela?!?!

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.

No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.

The silence is deafening.

Nextar has now also folded and will start airing Kimmel again.

Remember this next time they tell you we are powerless in the face of rising fascism.

Companies capitulating to Trump need to feel heat.

Keep it going.

Jet A exhaust is probably my top one. Nothing quite like the smell of aircraft engines running 😁😍.
Vallejo model air airbrushed paint would be a decent second though

And that concludes the gate of Zalissya Project! ☢️
Was a real fun build, although the base end up being even more fun than the mini 😜
(And I originally just wanted to build another swamp, good thing I didn't!)

#miniatures #scalemodels #stalker

A small diorama with a miniature in 1/35 scale.
The figure is a Stalker from the game Stalker. He wears a gas mask and carries tanks and a gun on his back while wearing a protective leather suit.
He stands in front of an old, crooked wooden gate framed by old fences.
In the foreground lies a rusty street sign with the inscription “Zalissya” in Ukrainian.
The scene is based on an iconic concept image from the game.

the Same Model from another angle.
I had a lot of fun painting that paper plant seen here in the foreground xP

The view from behind through the gate.
The gate stands directly on a cliff. Below this cliff lies the abandoned village of Zalissya, which now serves as a base for the Stalkers. It is the first major settlement you reach on your journey into the Zone.

The gate is filled with small details such as a large crow's nest. Someone has hung an old religious picture and wind chimes on the gate. There are also several warning signs about radioactivity, which is common in the zone and a gas mask hangs on a pillar leaning against the gate.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.

Many complied and shut down their programs.

Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.

And now, they just beat Trump in court.

Closed up and painted Kitty Hawks UH-1Y Venom, also started a hangar deck base. I only had one small issue closing it all up getting the nose sub-section to sit evenly with the fuselage and clear part.
