Sarah had never built or paint any models before this, every step done by her.
They are leagues away from my first poor attempts 40+ years ago!

A warband for a Christmas game of #Mordheim
Not too bad for a first ever painting attempt 😬

Hey,

I'm trying to remember where I've seen sheets of diamond roof tiles, either as sheets of plasticard/styrene, or laser cut paper/card.

Can anyone help?

Can anyone point me in the direction of images of Sint Joost, January 1945? If not; an example of the type of building style would be great. #SpreadTheLard

So I am back! I am working again, but have a backlog of work. Orders are likely to take about a week to get processed at the moment, but I am hoping that that will fall rapidly over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me during my illness, it is greatly appreciated.

Cracking day at #Salute52
I caught up with a few people; Sarah played her first ever wargame in the What A Tanker put in by @joewargamer.bsky.social in the @toofatlardies.bsky.social Lard Zone and had a blast, the seamless system allowing her to focus about tactics after a couple of turns.

Some housekeeping: remember to tag Lard related posts with #spreadthelard. It will then be picked up by the Too Fat Lardies dedicated feed. You don’t tag it, it can’t be seen by others in the feed. The Lard expects everyone to do their duty in this regard.
