First full troop complete! Command tanks next, then I’ve got the next three chieftains to do and that will be all the heavy armour in the force complete. Then on to fiddly bits! This is accurately replicated Camo, but it might get busy for smaller vehicles. #teamyankee #berlinbrigade

Two years ago, I embarked on an ambitious 3D reconstruction model of Dover Castle, recreating how it might have looked at the time of the Great Siege in 1216. Working with a team of architectural and military historians, the digital model and 3D renders took over five months to develop. #Blender3D

Not gonna try the tartan. Not gonna try the tartan. Not gonna try the tartan. Dammit, I have to try the tartan. Naps are the worst for "oops, missed a bit" and the Scots are the worst of the worst for it. Looks pretty good though... If anything is wrong then I painted it for The silver Bayonet.

Hey everyone, was chatting with Annie from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and she informed me that she has gotten shipping and tariff stuff figured out for both the EU and the USA, but she has seen a drop in customers. Go order from her! Her stuff is brilliant! #wargaming #ttgaming #warhammercommunity

Much in this video about making a replica gladiator helmet is applicable to how Roman military helmets were made. His method for making curved binding strips is really interesting. youtu.be/1f77IGKc79M?...
