#Hobbystreak day 214. Had a chill painting day and got quite a bit done. I also did some kit bashing with a raven to make an ersatz Men Shen since we aren't likely to get a plastic one any time soon.

#Hobbystreak day 212. What is supposed to be a bi weekly campaign seems to have turned bi monthly but I was able to meet with my players for the next deployment. They interdicted an escaping dropship connected to an ambush they had previously encountered.

This movie has one of the most tightly written scripts I have seen but people don't look past the dates CGI

#Hobbystreak day 208. Just to do all the gold details took the better part of an hour and a half. I am pretty happy with it though. The only things left to do are shade and base.

#Hobbystreak day 207. I didn't have a lot of painting time today but I was able to clean up a few things and start on painting the banner. The last big layer I have left to do is all the gold.

#Hobbystreak day 206. I worked on my Lion Guard some more but I was in more of a building mood today. I spent most of the evening working on my Waneta LAMs while watching the Macross Frontier movies again.

#Hobbystreak day 204. Today was an armor painting day. Normally for elves I go with a bit darker tones but since lion guard are supposed to be super elite I used the brighteat silvers I have.

#Hobbystreak day 203. I am a day late but we are painting elves for elftober. We are staring on the Lion Guard for my Charce army.

#Hobbystreak day 200. Just a chill gunpla building day. I really like how the Huckebein is coming along so far and I am happy to see that my real touch markers are still good after almost 15 years since I bought them.

#Hobbystreak day 199. Battletech Campaign Sunday. The Cavaliers were the last line of defense for the planetary government. We defeated the rebel blitz including taking out an Ostscout with a pocket nuke one turn before it was about to suicide bomb the government emergency shelter.

#Hobbystreak day 198. I stopped into the actual scale model store while running errands today and realized I hadn't worked on anything not tabletop game related in years. I thought it would be nice to switch it up and I have been a fan of Super Robot Wars since playing it on GBA

#Hobbystreak day 197. I have had a lot that I needed to get ready for this weekend so it was a focus day today. Still I managed to paint up the Ha Otoko and 3 units of battle armor.

#Hpbbystreak day 196. It was a struggle to get here but it's nice to have a finished group of mechs that I am satisfied with at the end of it.

#Hobbystreak day 195. Just about finished up the base coating on these mechs and I think they are starting to look like proper purple birds now.
