Today's plastic crack haul was aggressively good, y'all.

#gunpla #battletech #30minutesmissions #miniaturepainting
A spread of various game products lies fanned out on a couch. These include a limited edition Battletech Mercenaries box set, a BGM-79C GM gundam model kit, a 30 Minutes Missions Forestieri-02 kit, a battery tester, a 30 Minutes Sisters hairstyle kit, various Macross model decal sheets, a gundam ink marker in olive drab, a surplus Vallejo blue paint bottle, and two Micro series finish bottles. Unrelated, one of the couch pillows is labelled like a phone battery.

My amazing spouse gifted me a standee of Tula this year for Yule! I'm absolutely over the moon!!! I can't wait to get this book into your hands so you can experience this absolute psychopath for yourself!

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

(Eugene "Sparrow" Bullard)
A black and white photograph depicting Eugene Bullard in his French Foreign Legionnaire's uniform. He is a black man wearing numerous French medals for heroism and valor. He is nicknamed "The Black Swallow of Death" and "Sparrow", and he was the first black fighter pilot, famous for painting the words "all blood runs red" in French along the side of his aircraft.

I have made a discovery today while painting up some A Time of War minis:
An edit of the "Friendship Ended With Mudasir" meme, in which Mudasir's name has been replaced with a picture of Game Wash black colored miniature wash. A bottle of Nuln Oil detail paint takes the place of the friend in the image. The text reads "Friendship ended with [picture of Game Wash], now Nuln Oil is my best friend."
