I don’t know a lot.
But I know a lot about dinosaurs.
Now we all know dinosaurs lived for millions of years right?
But does you mind actually wrap around how long they dominated for?

Haarlemmerhout, where Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen and Freddie Oversteegen would take nazis to "liquidate" them. An honour to be in the same woods, with our little homages. It was so moving to literally follow the footsteps, I'll remember thus forever.

When Games Workshop sent me a means to enter the Jade Abbey with Warhammer Quest: Darkwater, I was drawn to Mulgoth the Cleaver in yellow.
So I did it, with Contrast Paints and highlights.
