A 3.5 hour daily commute means I can devour #wargaming podcasts, if not actually any hobby as Im too knackered after a 13 hour shift. Shout out to my current favourite the #TooFatLardies Oddcast. Great host Sidney Roundtree with really erudite and in-deptg chat from Richard Clarke and Nick Skinner

Very moving visit to Thiaroye today. This is the site where Senegalese soldiers just returned from having participated in the Liberation of France were massacred by the French. Excavations are ongoing to find more bodies in the mass graves. Recent estimates by scholars put death toll at 300-400.

I love the smell of Uhu in the evening, it smells like victory. Mix of Hinchcliffe, Foundry, Great Escape, Copplestone, Perry and 3DBreed all awaiting a break in the shitty English weather to prime. #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy

With great trepidation. That dang saloon is back. Had to saw off loads of tabs to put it together but it will work, because the Old West was dusty and dirty. There will be LED lighting inside. On to the hotel tomorrow, wish me luck.

3D printers for minis... if anyone knows of a specific reason why I should NOT invest (indulge) in a Bambu Labs A1 Mini please speak now or forever hold thy peace. For doing stuff like NPC civilians, greebles, scenery bits I don't want to spend ££€€$$ on.

Absolutely stunning darts

Think my pigment weathering needs more practice but I'm okay with my #festivetankchallenge Sherman for now. Strangely a Crusader seems to have been assembled this afternoon. Too cold to prime so back to the Old West tomorrow hopefully.

Hot take: Die Hard With A Vengeance is the best Die Hard film.

In the same late 90s night in Manchester I said hello at the bar to Nigel Pivaro and Terry Christian and they both said "Alright kid" back.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Primed the Sherman in Desert Yellow and will lighten up with some Light Stone concoction. So its definitely a GB North Africa tank, to support my 28 Maori.
Lost the little lamp on the floor but a model's not a model without a missing piece. #festivetankchallenge

Happy Christmas from the Red Army! Uraaaaa!
#OTD in 1942 the 24th and 25th Tank Corps raided the German airfields supplying Paulus in Stalingrad. As a result, no supplies arrived at all on Dec 24-25th and deliveries for the rest of the year were severely reduced, particularly when it came to fuel #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Xmas begins now in a bit.

Ha ha, I had a night off the booze for dad taxi duty and was about to get started on #festivetankchallenge, however realised I have no ABS cement for this Rubicon kit. Glue due Tue. Gonna be a Kiwi Sherman for Tunisia rather than my original plan for a Soviet Emcha.

Anyone got pics of the Blue Moon Tombstone civilians, painted or not, sold through Old Glory? Really after a lot of nice Frontier folk, Victorian NPCs for an Old West Town..... #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy

Anyone able to ID these 40k minis? School club doing Kill Team so I dug them out the shed from the Grey Stack of Opportunity/Shame.

As chance would have it, and before I pulled the dreaded trigger online (directly connected to the boss's phone notifications), I found these in the grey tower of shame in the shed... #Pillage #Midgard #Anotherhalfdoneproject
