Grew tired of this mocking me from the shelf, so knuckled down and finished it up. Farm complex 3D print. Files from Printable Scenery. #spreadthelard

I finished a unit of armoured Mercenaries for By Fire and Sword. These models also suit well for 30YW with the typical wear of Bandolier Reiters.

Tarantino added a detail with Lieutenant Aldo Raine in Inglorious Basterds. The scar around his neck came from an incident with the Klan.

In real life, my grandmother, as an Irish Catholic, had some run ins with them in Appalachian PA during the same time period.

Alt: Sound good? With the scar very visible.

I'll be at the Hartenstein Airborne Museum this coming weekend along with @jurdj.bsky.social, @clogfather.bsky.social, @eltjov.bsky.social & Nick Skinner. We'll host three Market Garden games for the broader public. If you're in the vicinity we'd love if you'd stop by and maybe even roll a few dice

I had one-off these dead horses with a cart painted up for my snowy table, so it's thought id do one for my med table as well.
Comes in handy as a deployment/jump off point or just as some table dressing.

My latest batch of Shock markers rolls off the bench. 20mm Ducks because when troops are under fire... they.... Duck 🤣😂 They all ended up being Mallards because generic ducks look very similar to chickens in this scale but then I guess Chickens work too.#chainofcommand. #spreadthelard

The USPS thingy advises that my Packing Heat KS stuff is out for delivery, so it's good that these small forces are nearly ready.

You can never have too many trees; Woodland Scenics armatures, a furnace filter, coarse turf, and micro leaves work perfectly for me. #wargaming #miniatures #miniatureterrain #spreadthelard

Just completed my final set of British paratroopers, bringing the total to 87 models—definitely more than I'll ever require. #spreadthelard #chainofcommand #miniaturepainting #boltaction

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Well, #histscalemodels, I appear to have gotten totally sidetracked on the R35 today. Thanks to @kitsandcoffee.bsky.social's suggestion for a Renault advert on a brick wall, I changed my scene a bit. Absolutely for the better. Now to let this all dry and think of how many details I can cram in.
