I need to print up one more for the contrasts paints and a few other colours and then it’s upwards for other hobby supplies storage But I need more filament for that, so it’s waiting till payday!

Finally for tonight, an Sd. Kfz. 234/1 This was the model that made me realise the printer screen was dead, & I don’t have time to print & paint another one for Sunday, so this one got finished and will do, but then will become a toy for nibblings #Warmongers #BoltAction #Wehrmacht #SdKfz234_1

Day 1014 of the #HobbyStreak and these Jade Warriors for Gamers-At-Hart are done The next 15 will be easier as I spent a lot of time figuring out the colour scheme, and finally landed in one I am happy with #WarhammerCommunity #WarhammerTheOldWorld #GrandCathy

Days 1012 & 1013 have been spent painting up some more terrain for Bolt Action, I finished a barn and started on the last of the bocage #Warmongers #BoltAction #BoltActionTerrain

Grabbed a few hobby supplies that I needed, mostly from Gamers-at-Hart needed some Olive Drab paint, but Boyes had the Wong paint in the slot, so they didn’t know they needed to order it, will check Saturday if they have it In the meantime will try an AK Pen #Warmongers #HobbySupplies #Paint

For the past few years I have been happily using a set of paint racks from TTCombat However my needs have changed, so I am using a new storage solution, the PaintPal Studio XP from Corvus Games Terrain that I backed on Kickstarter #Warmongers #PaintStorage #HobbyStudio #PaintPalStudio

This one stores more than what it replaced, and will allow me to better organise my paint and hobby stuff storage from the current rather chaotic arrangements

Last couple of days I have been working on some buildings for Bolt Action, and I finished this farmhouse and outhouse for a game I have coming up on Thursday So this is the update for days 1010 & 1011 of the #HobbyStreak #Warmongers #BoltAction #BoltActionTerrain

Decided I needed a quick win for day 1009 of the #HobbyStreak, so painted up a couple of barricades for the Bolt Action table No idea where the STL for this came from, it was in my DOOM folder #Warmongers #BoltAction #DOOMFolder

have been painting and keeping up the #HobbyStreak, but my ADHD is really playing up and I am finding myself with a dozen different projects on the go and struggling to finish any Probably doesn’t help that the studio is a bit of a shambles right now #Warmongers #WarhammerCommunity

Bought a very cheap Lav Mic for reasons that will soon be revealed Should be better than the set we previously used! #MediaProduction #ContentCreation #Microphone

Had to replace the screen on my Saturn 4 Ultra last weekend, cause I dropped something on it One of those things about the technology of these things, is that they have a few consumables and require a fair bit of maintenance #3DPrinter #3DPrinting #ResinPrinting #Saturn4Ultra

Just finished up a pair of Polish TKS Tankettes for a little project One armed with the Hotchkiss Machine Gun and the other with the nkm wz. 38 FK Autocannon #BoltAction #Poland #TKSTankette #Tankette

For day 1004 of the #HobbyStreak, I have turned my attention to the Polish with a couple of TKS Tankettes on the painting table! #Warmongers #BoltAction #Poland

Finished my Tiger I, this is a late war version by Night Sky Miniatures and I am rather happy with how it turned out #Warmongers #BoltAction #Wehrmacht #TigerI

This has happened to us a few times, Chris hits a tungsten tree and we find ourselves half buried in the ground At least this Tiger was an easy kill for us! #HellLetLoose #VideoGame #VideoGameGeek #WorldWarII

Slowly working on uploading my books to Kavita, think I am about a 3rd of the way there now! Mostly just non-fiction stuff to go with some cooking and craft books! #Books #eBooks #Kavita #HomeServer

For day 1002 of the #HobbyStreak got a bit more work done on these Jade Warriors who have now had a Nuln Oil wash! #WarhammerCommunity #WarhammerTheOldWorld #GrandCathy

Yesterday for day 1001 of the #HobbyStreak I printed up a sniper team and an officer for my Late War Germans to test out the new printer screen #Warmongers #BoltAction #Wehrmacht

Yesterday was a milestone in the #HobbyStreak as I reached day 1000 But alas I was really really unwell, picked up a bug from a friend and have spent most of the past couple of days in bed, but I did put red on this model for some clothes #WarhammerCommunity #WarhammerTheOldWorld #GrandCathy

A trio of Classic Hills from Txarli Factory for out Holt Action Table, got them painted up last night and finished off today with some grass #Warmongers #BoltAction #BoltActionTerrain #ClassicHills

I finished the bocage which is my #HobbyStreak entry for day 999!!! This is going to be cool to use for Bolt Action and probably some Napoleonics too #Warmongers #BoltAction #Bocage

For day 996 & 997 of my #HobbyStreak and I have created a Bocage production line, hope to get these bits finished today #Warmongers #BoltAction #Bocage

Days 994 & 995 of the #HobbyStreak and I am exhausted after the holiday, feel like I need another one to recover Anyway the streak continues and I build some AoS models and printed some bocage #WarhammerCommunity #Warmongers

Before bed last night, I finished up these last six Grenadiers for the late war Germans to end my holiday painting #Warmongers #BoltAction #Wehrmacht #GermanGrenadiers

Had a rather few good game of Hell Let Loose on Wednesday, three wins in a row, including a game in Tobruk, which we haven’t played on in quite a while Though I was on my Steam Deck, so my performance was pretty dreadful! #VideoGame #VideoGameGeek #HellLetLoose

Yesterday was a hard day, but a good one, it’s 5 years since Paul & Mary were married here at the Talyllyn Railway But sadly Mary passed to cancer less than a year later, which was to put it mildly devastating to everyone that knew her #TalyllynRailway

however she gave us money and made us promise to surprise Paul with a train driver experience here on their 5th wedding anniversary Due to health and safety it wasn’t an on the day surprise, but we kept our promise to Mary the best we could

And finally for tonight, a Forward Observer/Spotter who can bring in that artillery strike or give my Mortars some accuracy #Warmongers #BoltAction #Wehrmacht #ForwardObserver

A Medium Mortar Team from Chthonic Bear Cult, I really like using Mortars in Bolt Action, they can be very handy #Warmongers #BoltAction #Wehrmacht #MediumMortarTeam
