This little loaf went home today and now I'm blue. Such a friendly little beast, and very good company. I think we're watching her again in the new year though.

I am fed up painting #Midgard Dwarves, who will also do handily for Dragon Rampant. I'll keep going with them, but am officially bored...

If I can get past my hesitancy about basing them nicely, I think we'll be good.

I did have to google "how to mix brown paint" - a bit of a low.

We're looking after this wee creature, Mimi, this week. A reminder that space is there to be filled... and my bowl is also meant to be filled!!!

"Aaaaaffirmative"

Have no mojo for anything productive today, so will take over the living room with some "Another Glorious Day in the Corps"

Seeing as how it takes up a hige amount of space.

But an amazing game.

These three little potion golems are just about the handiest friends you can have, forgot that extra health potion, here comes one, needs a potion of resistance or speed, here they come happy to help.

I'm seeing a lot of Wargames Atlantic 10mm stuff being posted again, which is a healthy reminder to work on more of my #Migard Dwarves.

Missles and Rock Elementals here. These are from @pendraken.bsky.social and are an amazing range.

I've used a wet palette on and off for years. I just buy a cheap one now and then, although I used to make my own.

One of the most satisfying moments painting is when it's full and time to replace the paper.

Another Japanese cruiser, the Furutaka, and her destroyer escort for Victory at Sea, by Warlord games.

I hoped to have these done and dusted today, but they've not been as straightforward as I thought.

A US cruiser in the backgroud, which I've made a right arse of, maybe.

More men for the las blob. Plus an officer

Not sure if I have enough to max out a tercio yet. It'll be fun to fly this lot in and sit on an objective for a turn or two.

Three things must ye know before you meet the Wise Woman at @MaryRoseMuseum this Half Term!

First, she is a Woman!
Second, she is Wise!

Thirdly, she'll be here 28th and 30th October to show how ordinary people got medical treatment in Tudor England...

The Mogami, from the Victory at Sea starter set by Warlord Games.

Almost in the eBay pile, I've ended up working on these after five years.

Still have the name plate to tidy up and hopefully find some 3d printed planes for her (and her companions.)

My Victory at Sea collection. This a Lockdown Project. I think it’s only seen the table once in five years?! Japanese and US fleets

Another quality of life improvement for the painting set up with these. I was struggling with the smaller scale stuff last week and I think the problem was the point on my old zero brush gave out. Fingers crossed for these, the brush seems nice and full.

My first world problem of the day:

I saw a courier van outside, waited for them to ring the doorbell, it didn't ring, so I went out. Van wasn't there... recieved a "delivery attempted" email.

Cue the rage.

After a decade or so service in a box, six casualties and a spiked gun. Not too bad considering.

I've since put one of the regiments (I need to memorise these terms, battalion, regiment etc) into a dip, see if the paint comes off.

As the Great Reordering nears completion, I'm obsessed with these; American War of Independance British, 10mm by Pendraken (one of their best ranges imho, so many poses.)

The question is, can I salvage these figures? Stick with the same base sizes? Strip them? Too many thoughts...

A few friends have been asking about the impact of Trump's tariffs on Northwing Minis. In short, I can't currently ship to the USA because of them (I don't have the turnover to justify the time/ cost to make it work). But based on the number of messages I've received from American would-be (cont).

Had a mini breakdown or compulsive episode, where I just sorting through all my many boxes of games and minis.

The overwhelmed period has passed; things are either in the keep or go part of the brain and now time to tidy, sort and shift it.

Very enthuaiastic for some forgotten projects now.

Today's holiday breakfast. Remarkably similar to yesterdays offering, but substituting the good bacon for poor black pudding. So very satisfying.

I'll return to normal, healthyish ways shortly

First Sunday off work in a long while, so a treat earlier today. Good bacon, cheap bread, HP sauce. Followed by a nap. #holiday #bacon
