The number 1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

My silly cat, Samantha's, new favorite place to sleep. 🤣 So far she's only knocked one ornament off a low hanging limb... I'm sure she's just resting up for the real mayhem later, after we've finished decorating it... We don't do gifts often so she'll have that spot to herself till new years. ❤️

So I did a thing...I rolled over in my sleep last night and apparently kicked my leg out and BROKE MY TOE kicking the wall...and didn't wake up till the morning. 🤦 Now my toe is purple and swollen and I'm not looking forward to the trip to the medical clinic. I'll probably just get the boot brace.

Can anyone guess my next fun little project for #poorhammer and #ork??? 😂 I'm going to try my hand at a truly classic hobby kitbash project! But make it Orky! and heavy metal! and a bit crazy!
After 40 years, Bitz hoarding will finally pay off!! 😭

Making a small customization on my #battletech Gothic Phoenix Hawk mini.
I'm adding a set of mechanical bat wings to make it more... "I am the terror that flaps in the night!" 😂
So I'm carving my own from 3mm plastic-card. It's a WIP and I'm about halfway done adding details, but here it is!? 😁

Need a break from Big tanks! I've picked up my #battletech Gothic mechs to finish up my Draconis Lance. Added to my custom Awesome is a King Crab. I added Tusks to the face for a meaner look, and I'm adding a dragon-like ridge of sawtooth plates on its carapace. Unsure if it needs a crotch-cloth?

I got the main colors down on my #OPR Space British army tank, the first of three. Tonight I'm working on the weathering and all the little finishing details. Then tomorrow I'll do the decals and a final flat sealant and then it's onto tank #2. My driver is made from a leftover GW Sentinel pilot.

A few weeks ago my friends #battletech Destiny RPG/Hinterlands Merc campaign started. Finally I get to be a player and not the GM! This unit I painted up are the 4 mechs and 2 vehicles that make up our Mercs, the Albeniz Royal Dragoons. My character, Becca Strauss (pictured), drives the Wolfhound.

Mistakes were made... I accidentally bought 2 more Wolverine Tank model kits at the game store today .. 🤦 Now I have to rewrite my #OPR Space British Human Defense Force army list to fit 3 Battle Tanks?!
Unless I give one to my Orks to Loot?? 🤔 That's a possibility...

Getting to work on some custom changes to my new #OPR Human Defense Force Battle Tank (Archon Studios Wolverine plastic tank kit), like a smaller swappable APC turret and a kitbashed driver and seat to go inside. 😁 Next up I'll start the khaki and stone British desert camo paint job. 😊

It's been a while, Bluesky.
Recently I've been painting up an Archon Studios Mammoth walker I got for my Birthday, to go in my Eisenkern army for #onepagerules
It's almost done! All I've got left is a thinned black wah to dull down the base colors a bit, some dry grass Tufts on the base, and fin!

My official stance: I do not celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk. But I do not mourn him either. People die every day. Some innocent. Some not. Kirk was a divisive, intolerant, bigot, who caused far more harm in America than good. His death is irrelevant. His children have my sympathy for their pain

A lazy couple of evenings finishing up some of the Alien Mecha for my Mekton Zeta RPG campaign. The Jade machines are originally from Warmachine, 28mm, but I think they look good with some Eldar guns added and fielded as 45 foot tall Alien Death Machines for the Heros to tackle?! 😁 4 more are WIP.

It's taking FOREVER but I'm finally making progress on the upcoming #mekton RPG campaign minis. 5 player Mecha are done (2 by me!) and we're working on the alien Mecha in groups (the WIP green Mecha). The minis are from lots of games! Heavy Gear, Battletech, Warmachine, Reaper, and others. 😁

Ok, hear me out... A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor.

For years I've kept notes and records of my Battletech units and RPG characters. Battle reports, campaign notes, background info, etc. I'm going to try to write it up in short stories or episodes and share it with friends and fellow mech fans. But what's the best digital format for easy sharing?

I found an antique! In my bitz tub I found all the parts to build this OLD Warzone Mishima Dragon guy. Don't remember buying him? 🤔
I'm going to paint him up as an Inquisitor for #40K kill team and #OPR Skirmish games. 😁
Ah, the great old days of ludicrously large shoulder armor!! 🤣

I'm hosting an introductory game of #OPR Grimdark Future in a couple days. I'm using 2 of my recently finished (mostly!) armies for our small game: my Eisenkern Battle Brothers (tan) vs my custom Star Soldiers army (green). Probably 1000 points on a 4' x 4' ruined city table. I expect to lose... 🤣

Sitting for four hours in a chair at an infusion center is not how I want to spend Friday afternoons... 😭 It's so boring!! And I'm starving! They won't let me order pizza... I'm about to throw a tantrum. 😂

I went to sit in my usual spot on the sofa to watch Alien Earth and almost squashed Samantha!! 😱 She usually cuddles up in my lap but I guess I took too long getting settled this evening... I didn't have the heart to disturb her so I sat at the other end... I hated it... 🤣

A good deal for any other Greenskin Bosses out there!! I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money! There's no such thing as too many Orks!! 🤣
Does anyone want the previous Ork Combat patrol? Unboxed and no instructions but complete otherwise for £90. That’s a Warboss in mega armour, 20 Boyz, three Deffkoptas and a Deffdread, which would cost nearly £150 from a third party store or £176 from GW. DM if interested. #AliciaSellsStuff

A bit more Firestorm Armada/Warfleets fun: I dug up my original Hawker Industries starter fleet and finally finished assembling them! Only took me 15 years or so?! 😊 Need to find the flight stands for the Frigates though. No clue on the color scheme yet... 🤷 Maybe blue-grey and white? Or yellow?

Best anime battle and battle song ever. 🥹 I'm sprinting down nostalgia lane tonight. Rekindling my early love for Mecha and space opera action! This film was a watershed moment in my youth that led to a lifetime obsession with mechs, Mecha, and giant robots of all kinds.
