SQL and C sharp also VMware, for the first two it’s because they’re older languages so it’s looked down on also coding’s not really thing in my area. The last one is because networking is not a thing in my area because of cryptocurrency.

Sadly, almost certainly for professional purposes, 2D and 3D CAD.
AutoCAD, Euclid, Mechanical Desktop, Inventor. Loved them even whilst frequently swearing at them 🙂

These two have seemingly taken their characters into being completely iconic that any chance to try to do them again in any subsequent movies will feel almost completely dull and lifeless in comparison.

Finish some skeletons for frost grave these were interesting to paint since they’re older metal model. Form a defunct range known as confrontation. Though they still hold up with a lot of character.

Had a conversation about how painting styles in my local area changed. Over the years for example the old saying cover in abrown wash(the spelling escapes me). So everything was very dirty looking and very dark. Compared to the day where there’s a lot more diversity in style.

Since I bought a pack for operative and commander, here’s the commander. Decided not to use the ax because of aesthetics in play style. Surprisingly he looks more like something out of halo than World War II but I like them might need to tone on the face a little.

Not done with the rebel operative. Decided to go for a US late World War II army color scheme. Which I think turned out pretty well. Decided to go with the pistol instead of the ax because to me it looked ridiculous.

Been working on this observer from trench Crusade. So far it is mostly done. I just need to work on the base. Get it off of the little piece of cardboard I have it glued on too. Maybe give it a little touch up here and there.

From my post earlier, this is the marauder from the salvage box set for battle tech gothic. For this, and the Mac from the last post, I tried using a paint scheme from one of the cards. Changed it a little to be a bit more red.

Decided to get a salvage box of Battle tech Gothic and got the urban Mech. The little trashcan that can. Compared to the main line battle tech stuff. It has a lot more detail and a bit bigger really took a a lot of steady brush work for it.

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother
I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Finally finished the iron head squat gang leader. Did some air brushing on the armor and then filled out the fabrics with some orange good contrast with the greenish blue. It may or may not reference the Miami Dolphins.

Zenestra from age of sigmar. Been working on her on and off since the initial release. Bit of a darker color scheme, but I had a lot of fun with it. Also is thematic sense. She’s right beside a skeleton after all it’s Halloween.
