was hoping I was pushing thru to the next level, added a km to my walk.

Ended up crashed out all afternoon. Really tired of being tired.

Still trying to pay off the medical bills from last time I ignored my body and ended up in the ER.

Any help would be amazing.

I’ve always struggled with painting black, but I need to get better for a scheme I have in mind once the Steel Rift models come in.

Enter Terry the Test Marine. Overall pretty happy. More to come tho.

If you see this QQRP with a game that released the year you were born

My birth year had some of the most iconic releases around that it’s almost impossible to share just one.
Metroid was released the year I was born

I swear I can’t shake this burnout. I just sit at the table and stare at my paints and brushes, but I can’t get myself to actually start anything.

If ever there was a mech in my opinion to get the “zoomies”, it’s definitely the Locust. They’re also incredibly adorable in their own death machine kind of way.
