The USPS thingy advises that my Packing Heat KS stuff is out for delivery, so it's good that these small forces are nearly ready. Royal Irish Constabulary ready to pursue Paternal Grandad and his 2nd Brigade homies around 1920's north Cork. #packingheat #wipwednesday #nerdlings #fistfuloflead

You can never have too many trees; Woodland Scenics armatures, a furnace filter, coarse turf, and micro leaves work perfectly for me. #wargaming #miniatures #miniatureterrain #spreadthelard

A 3D printed vampire I did up for The Silver Bayonet.

Just completed my final set of British paratroopers, bringing the total to 87 models—definitely more than I'll ever require. #spreadthelard #chainofcommand #miniaturepainting #boltaction

@coljmurray.bsky.social thank you for organising another great Clotted Lard. Really great games on offer - I very much enjoyed playing the two I opted for - Infamy Infamy! courtesy of Col and Sharpe Practice in the AWI run by @andycrow.bsky.social

Took a while as there’s lots going on at the moment, but I managed to finish off another battalion for Napoleon’s meat grinder

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Well, #histscalemodels, I appear to have gotten totally sidetracked on the R35 today. Thanks to @kitsandcoffee.bsky.social's suggestion for a Renault advert on a brick wall, I changed my scene a bit. Absolutely for the better. Now to let this all dry and think of how many details I can cram in.

Hi everyone I’ve been away awhile but not inactive Took a deep dive back into historical miniatures. Here’s what I spent the day on. Almost done. Will post finished pics when he is. Austrian General and mount. 1809. Miniature are 3d printed from #PianoWargames

Chain of Command Sicily with @jeff965.bsky.social

Completed these just in time for #finishedfriday Really pleased with how they came out, much thanks to the great sculpts from Gripping Beast. Detail shots in the comments below 👇 #wargaming #wargamingterrain

28mm Victrix Sub Roman Britons / Arthurians. Going down the path of hand painting more complicated shields, and that way madness lies!

Make YOUR Turkey Man (and Trench Crusade stuff) look extra excellent with these!

All set up for my SP2 game at EBor Lard tomorrow. Can Scaramouche Fandango, the world’s greatest lover and killer of men, save Agent Goodhead from the clutches of the evil French Major Rémy Martin? Stay tuned for more! #SpreadTheLard

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

Painted a few more German grenadiers to complete an additional platoon unit, as I needed some light machine guns. #chainofcommand #miniaturepainting #wargaming #boltaction #spreadthelard

4 sets of measuring sticks for Midgard. Nicely crafted by fellow club member Patrick #spreadthelard

Getting a 4x4' layout prepped for tonight's club game - Napoleonics small skirmish forage mission in some corner of Spain

Finished off nine @brigadegames.bsky.social American riflemen for the AWI/ARW over the weekend to complete both packs from the same company. As usual, great figures to work with by @hicksy.bsky.social which match perfectly with Perry. #miniaturemonday #rebelsandpatriots #spreadthelard #nerdlings

The fourth and last Panzergrenadier section for my Sicily/Italy COC forces. Perry metal and plastics, chopped about a bit to get that popular over the shoulder future case of tinnitus pose 😂 Platoon command and supports next 👍 #spreadthelard #chainofcommand2

Played our first game of Chain of Command’s pint size campaign Kampfgruppe Von Luck, using v2 for force lists and rating the British as elite. I played the airborne and got overwhelmed by the grenadiers firepower, I ended up with 15 casualties and decided to retreat. #chainofcommand #spreadthelard

It's been a while since I made a thing, but I made a thing. Empress factory with Rubicon walls for a Chain of Command game Saturday. #spreadthelard

This is Colley's Mill. Do you know who lives here? #spreadthelard

Fine adventure ready for trustworthy adventuring

Enterprise - under construction APR2023.

I can

It's going to be the weirdest thing watching every news network trying to sell "a nation in mourning" while Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" becomes the new national anthem.

1/3 Some time ago I was asked by a French movie magazine if I could recreate the iconic Alien poster using my miniature photography skills, it's one of my all time favourite movies so I jumped at the chance and obviously I had to do it practically, here's the final image made only from 2 photos...

I think the most annoying thing about being trans is that I really want to talk about 3d printing and wargaming and minis, and cool filament, and awesome gadgets all that cool shit Instead I need to pay attention to crap about whether I'm allowed to use the bathroom or exist, shit sakes.

The Forest Guardian. 2009, Northfield, MA.

This project is getting the most heat of any so far. Who knew making models for WW2 gaming that were *checks notes* against nazis? would be so controversial.

Played a game of Pacific Command, new carrier war rules from Osprey. We did Guadalcanal and while my Japanese forces failed to take out the airfield, my battleships jumped one of their task forces and wiped them out... But then we realised the move was too far, so it ended as a failure. Good rules.

A @warbases.bsky.social base, some @fenrisgames.com masonry bits, sand, PVA, grass and foliage, a @handiworkgames.bsky.social backdrop and a 28mm ex-Grenadier Miniatures Wood Elf shaman for scale. Started and completed this weekend. #terrain #mesbg #nerdlings #wargaming

Splendid game of Midgardhammer with @mogsymakes.bsky.social and @tabletopmog.bsky.social today. Scenery by James, models by me and Martin. Great to get the Warhammer models out and Midgard gave a terrific game. #WarhammerCommunity #Midgard #SpreadTheLard #Nerdlings

Scatter terrain completed within the past month: 3D printed rocky outcrops from eBay, ruin from previous post, two Pictish stones, Viking runestones from @fenrisgames.com two barrows, three scratchbuilt tree bases, @reaperminiatures.bsky.social altar. #terrain #nerdlings #mesbg #wargaming #lotr

Really enjoyed working on these two 3d prints. The chapel is from Patrick Miniatures and I believe the garage is from Wowbuildings (gifted to me by @tomjmegan.bsky.social ). As usual, all prints modified with polyfilla and extra details

Getting close to finishing Aenur, Sword of Twilight! Cloak done (unless I decide to add some markings…). Just a few little touch ups to do. Happy with how this is turning out. #WIP #miniaturepainting #wargaming

One of the ruins I did. Actually, the last one from that bunch. I'd run out of ideas, so I took heavy inspiration from @tacticalpainter.bsky.social 's excellent blog. Very happy with how it turned out. #boltaction #spreadthelard #ww2 #wargaming #tabletopgaming #miniatures #miniaturepainting #terrain

Another #Midgard battle yesterday, starting in the mist. My Undead were eager to get to grips with the opposing monsters and managed a victory putting my elite units to good use #SpreadtheLard

A customer recently asked me to design a Chain of Command morale tracker insert that wasn't already listed on my website. I made this Guards Armoured Division insert and he has printed several of them to use as patrol markers! #spreadthelard Available from www.sabotag3d.com

Trying to decide how I feel about these decals for shields. A little small. Can tidy up. Color matching is doable but a pain. Not sure I like it more than what I could just freehand.

Some baddies for The Silver Bayonet.

I can finally share what I have been painting 😊 This is the first of eight 28mm miniatures I painted for Victrix Ltd. They are the new Medieval Foot Knights available now for pre-order. The surcoat is freehand painted. The shield is a transfer from the new Loyal Barons transfer set. #paintingminis

Did a Replen Point for my German forces in CoC V2. Really love the opportunity to get creative w. figures that might otherwise not often see the gaming table. Figures are 20mm AB, sold by @eurekaminiatures.bsky.social #Wargaming #HistoricalWargaming #MiniPainting #MiniaturePainting #SpreadTheLard
