I'm clearly on a bit of a @hicksy.bsky.social run at the moment! Four Vietnam USMC from #EmpressMiniatures I picked up at this year's Salute as part of a new slow grow project. #VietnamWar #Wargaming #HistoricalWargaming

Happy Sunday. While spending time on a wet and windy family holiday in Conwy Wales. I packed the tools and Greenstuff and did some sculpting. The WIPs so far for medieval beekeepers and a hive. Useful for a variety of medieval settings. #baronswar #medievalwaegaming #28mmminiatures
