I took a chance on ordering some 1/2400 models from Panzerschiffe and thought I’d show some examples of their models, which are basic but ok. Three German Type 1934 destroyers and two light cruisers (Koln and Karlsruhe) for an early war Atlantic campaign I’m considering. #navalwargaming

So are we at a Horst Wessel moment or a Reichstag Fire moment?

I bled for my country today, and got a slice of pizza for my troubles! #blooddonor #CanadasLifeline #CanadianBloodServices

So I guess this means that the US could blow up a civilian boat in Canadian waters and say “because fentanyl”. What’s scary is that my last sentence doesn’t seem crazy.

We had to make our own dice!

My hot take for the day is that unless the AoC is a consequential thinker and theologian like Rowan Williams, they are irrelevant to non-British Anglicans in the rest of the Communion.

For #TerrierTuesday, this is us, Brodie and Beatrix, waiting for our hoozits to quit chatting with the neighbours and take us to the bark park like they promised they would. #TravellingInStyle #BTPosse

I still get yelled at a lot, but I do worry about it less now. I am a bear.

Famous last words.

Some recently completed 1/2400 model ships for First World War #NavalWargaming. First, a flotilla of Royal Navy M class destroyers by GHQ.

#navalwargaming Mad respect.

This is Brodie at about six months, being still with mum for a few brief seconds. #TerrierTuesday #BackInTime. He’s now a healthy stocky lad of almost four. #BTPosse

Mystic crashes CPAC.

After a long hot drive we reached our destination on the shores of Lake Huron. Dogs dipping their toes tonight, we plan to swim tomorrow. #BTPosse

No cheating. Post your Lock Screen.

#TerrierTuesday theme of #HigherGround Beatrix surveys the neighborhood from the top of a snowbank last winter. She loves the snow, hates the heat.

More little (1/2400 scale) ships! A humble merchant just trying to make it through the day without meeting the Emden, and two armed merchant cruisers that could also be used as troopships. All Tumbling Doce models. #navalwargaming

Painting big ships is fun but a navy needs little ones two. Three WW1 V1 class torpedo boats for my German fleet. GHQ models. #navalwargaming

In the latest edition of The Canadian Wargamer Podcast @jamesmanto.bsky.social and I had a terrific conversation with Andrew Dobson, one of Canada’s young hobby entrepreneurs and one to watch. Convo touched on 3D printing, #navalwargaming, and more. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-igrr4-...

Fascinating piece of Toronto history.

Umm, yes, that gap .. I spent several decades in the Red Lodge listening to a funny little guy talk backwards, but a brain on a tree finally helped me back into the workforce.

If you see this, quote with a robot who isn’t etc etc

A tale of two battle cruisers. One is a Tumbling Dice model of HMS Indefatigable, the other is a GHQ model of SMS Seydlitz. The GHQ model wins for detail, but is about twice the price of the TD model which looks ok when painted and based. #navalwargaming

The rectory gardens after two weeks holidays look messy but glorious. My faithful BIL never missed a day of watering during the heat dome, bless him.

Best skeet of the day.

Post a picture of you that’s not actually you.

Just placed an order for some 1/2400 WW2 ships from Panzerschiffe on spec. Anyone has any experience of them? Do you like their models? #navalwargaming

Farewell Vancouver!

One of my favorite places in Vancouver, a kind of living anachronism where you expect to find Evelyn Waugh at the bar.

#TerrierTuesday #family #BTPosse hello frens, , this is me, Brodie, little sister Beatrix, and Mum and Dad in our parish directory foto. Parish is a word for place wiv nice people wiv lotsa treats. Happy birthday @misheleneous.bsky.social

More Great War little ships, 1/2400 scale models from GHQ for my Pacific 1914 PBEM game (soon to start I hope). German light cruiser SMS Koenigsberg, though she could also be her sister ship SMS Nurnberg. #navalwargaming

Pool time

Last night I got to sight read and sing Palestrina’s O Rex Gloriae with the pick up compline choir at St John’s, Elora, a musical gem of the Canadian church, and oh my it was sublime. ⚓️ These guys did it better. 😏 youtu.be/W6GtKhljr9o?...

Having too much fun painting and basing Great War ship Models. SMS Scharnhorst and Gneisenau steaming towards the Battle of Coronel. 1/2400 models from GHQ. #navalwargaming

I have a few slots open in a PBEM Great War naval game if anyone is interested details are her. #navalwargaming madpadrewargames.blogspot.com/2025/05/swan...

“Our exclusive deal for Canadians is that we can almost completely assure you that you won’t be abducted by ICE. Some restrictions may apply.”

Brodie and Beatrix are pleased that the summer patio furniture is now out, exclusively for their comfort. #TerrierTuesday #BTPosse

Some more recently completed #GHQ WW2 models. Three German Karl Galster class destroyers launched for my Kriegsmarine collection. #navalwargaming

Since today is the 84th anniversary of the loss of HMS Hood, seems fitting to post this 1/2400 scale Hood model from GHQ. Needs a few touchups but happy with it. #navalwargaming
