😭 I've had to cancel going to Southampton Lard tomorrow :( Car was loaded with terrain, then steering wheel clockspring failed, so no airbag, horn, controls. Taking it to the garage tomorrow. Gutted though, was looking forward to it, and feel awful for @markbackhouse29.bsky.social

Working on a couple of hybrid scratch-builds for my France '40 table. 3d printed windows and rooftops from @sabotag3d.bsky.social , XPS structures, and polyfilla brick work

I'm a ww2 wargamer through and through, so I'm selling this piece on ebay ebay.us/m/KRTkKS

I've enjoyed a fantastic year of wargaming, despite a very quiet summer with GCSEs and a holiday. But great fun at Lard Days and shows, and some amazing games with friends. Plus, picked up 2 Best in Show Awards and featured in a French national newspaper! Here's to more of the same in 2026!

My Sherman is finished! Very enjoyable tank to paint up! #festivetankchallenge

An excellent blog post. This is looking a really exciting! Will be at Come and have a go if you think you’re LARD enough 2026 next month l.

This was a fun project! A piece of terrain from packaging and some scrap from the bits box!

I managed to get it undercoated! Hooray! This very cool. Looking forward to painting it!

This bit of packaging is just screaming 'turn me into a star wars Tatooine terrain piece'!. So I've raided my bits box - let's see how it goes!

I finished up a Christmas present from @tomjmegan.bsky.social - a pair of excellent 3d printed ruined farm buildings. Painted up to look just like a building 5 mins from Montcornet, my next table. So, perfect! Cheers Tom , these were great fun

78 French infantry built and primed for my Montcornet 1940 table. These are going to be Chasseurs Portes. Minis from @warlordgames.com

Merry Christmas Wargame buddies!

Finished this lovely French house from @sabotag3d.bsky.social , with a scratch built garden . Paul did a phenomenal job with this model

2025 #FestiveTankChallenge update. Sherman Firefly VC (2nd Bn, Irish Guards) complete. Stowage and extra appliqué armour to add tomorrow. Superb kit from Rubicon Models. #Wargaming #ScaleModels

It's not raining,so time to prime! Olive Drab for my #festivetankchallenge Sherman, and khaki for this early Xmas present from @tomjmegan.bsky.social - two ruined farm buildings!

Nor bad for a couple of hours work. Pretty good proxy for the old station at Montcornet. I'm not trying for an exact replica, and wanted to use a 3d print I had. A pretty good compromise. Stopping for dinner, then I'll do some roof work and think about starting the brick walls

Last year @tomjmegan.bsky.social was kind enough to give me a dozen 3d printed buildings. They've basically all been done now, but earlier today I looked in the box and found a train station. And with sone modifications and scratch bits , i can get a good proxy for Montcornet (my next table)

It’s time for the #FestiveTankChallenge2025 - brilliant that @tomjmegan.bsky.social organises this and great to build a Sherman Firefly IC of 3/RTR to go with the other Sherman already complete. Looking forward to it!

So, didn't take long to put together as my #festivetankchallenge2025 is a resin kit from @warlordgames.com , but it's been in the loft for ages, so good to get it started! A sandbagged M4A3! The real challenge will be priming it!

🚨 #FestiveTankChallenge2025 🚨 It’s the 21st December, folks! Tho 2025 #FestiveTankChallenge is now LIVE! Best of luck - most importantly enjoy and keep us posted on your progress! #Wargaming #ScaleModels

Built this last night, based on this amazing bar in Montcornet. I had some brick textured plastic sheets, so I thought id try making it from that. Waiting for a delivery of diamond roof tiles.

Up early today, so finished off these buildings. All 3d prints retextured and painted

Hey, I'm trying to remember where I've seen sheets of diamond roof tiles, either as sheets of plasticard/styrene, or laser cut paper/card. Can anyone help?

My Home Guard relisted at a lower price. Make me an offer if you are interested. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20590189...

Had time last night to finish off these three farm buildings for my France 1940 table. The L shape was a 3d print, but the other two are scratch-built from xps.

Voting for the Wargames Illustrated awards are now open. As the first company to provide the community with laser cut MDF terrain we'd be honoured if you would consider voting for us under the Terrain Manufacturer (Q4). www.facebook.com/share/p/14SK...

Ah, the good old days (2023…) fighting over Jenny and Phil’s lovely game setup at Herts of Lard. Even got a rare photo including @desmondo.bsky.social

A mix of 3d prints and scratch build, textured and drying. Destined for northern France 1940

I love a busy table! Upgrading a bunch of simple prints, and giving them a brick texture

Its very inconsiderate of the weather to rain when I have a building I need to undercoat..

All texture work done. Will try and undercoat it tomorrow

First time in months I've sat down to do some crafting. Going to upgrade this 3d print as the first building towards my next table- Battle of France 1940

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.

Fun day at Warfare on Saturday. A mini lard zone featuring a smashing What A Tanker by @joewargamer.bsky.social and a very nice CoC2 next door.

Had a smashing weekend helping @joewargamer.bsky.social run his What a Tanker game at Warfare. For those of you interested in logistics this is what Joe’s 15x6 28mm terrain looks like in its packed up state and for storage. it does all fit in one car (just!). #spreadthelard #wargaming

Love this pic

Really pleased to be awarded Best in Show the second time running at Warfare, with my Caen table. Thanks to everyone that played, but particular thanks to my amazing helpers - Rich, Aran, Sarah, Simon, Simon and Simon!

Set up at Warfare. Last showing of my Caen table for the time being
