Given the state of the world I’ve decided to run a scale model group build and competition in aid of Ukraine. Please spread the word and join in, details of how to enter the competition will be released soon. I’ll set up a feed on here and a facebook page soon. #ForUkraineGB u24.gov.ua
Finally got some decent pics of my #spacewolves40k and I’m pretty happy with how they’ve turned out. Lovely to paint, even if they did get beaten in their first #warhammer40k game.

‘Tis the season when teaching kind of sucks because rather than easing off it’s a barrage of mock prep, reports, parents evenings whilst everyone is burnt out and kids going haywire. I can’t wait to have the mental energy for hobbies again! I’ve got some lovely bits I can’t wait to get painted

It's revealing about taboos around racism that the visceral bullying racism of schoolboy Farage cuts through while the much more consequential thinly veiled racism of adult Farage doesn't. Many people need that veil and flinch when it's removed. You can advocate racist policies but not say the words

Nice wulfen!
Wulfen were sat on my desk for so long. Even though most of the work is the skin I did that really fast, then just couldn't get into that groove of the other parts. Oh well done now!

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Brilliant thread
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

I'm surprised nobody is making a witty pun about preferring gammon...
If they don't call this the Quorn Laws then the country truly is gone.

Tonight on Ken Burns's American Revolution, Rick Atkinson is going is going to tell you:
"Muskets are mostly inaccurate beyond 80 yards...so a lot of the killing is done with the bayonet... this is really eyeball to eyeball."
The trouble is, this just isn't true. 🧵1/16

Lots of progress on these guys today. I might finish Bjorn tomorrow, I’ve not touched Logan’s head so he’ll be a job for next week.

Lovely work, needs pencils to push though.

Took my traditional looking for problems photos. The face isn’t great and I’ve spotted a couple of touch ups needed but not bad overall.

I don’t know about changed me, but war of the worlds was the first book that took me to a different place.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

A stained glass window memorial to Lieutenant Edmund Gay at Aldborough church in Norfolk, included within the design is his last landscape. A way to transport the viewer standing in a quiet English parish church, to the corner of a foreign field in which Edmund now lies.
