I start wargaming projects. Paint half of them and put them in Really Useful Boxes. I blocken nazis.
Have to say the last time I drank Skol it wasn't with this backdrop.
Last Wild West Nut update while Saturday so here's a load. Cocksuckers can get some hooch in the saloon, get warmed in the fancy hotel with some fine gals and likely end up in the morticians. Plenty of fancy duds and provisions in the general store. This is so addictive. There will be blood.
@pendraken.bsky.social I said I would update on the Red Vectors Stagecoach, I put the lanterns on the front of the coach. Just weathering to do now, lots of dirt and dust. ##WildWestNuts #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy
Some Temu terrain is hit and miss but I got this blacksmiths and it scales okay, with a wee cart too. Ingenious design, opening doors, sliding doors, elevated flooring, clever those Chinese as me grandad used to say. Work in progress. ##WildWestNuts #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy
@pendraken.bsky.social or also any #WildWestNuts I've done most of the Red Vectors MDF stagecoach sans instructions, nice bit of working out. But I'm baffled with these oval pieces. Any clues? #DeadMansHand
Wild West Nuts, it's taken me all summer to clear some space in the garage. Got this far. Now help me out make it pop. #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy #wildwestnuts
I'm delighted to announce our new Economic Adviser. He supports our plan to privatise the NHS, is looking forward to leaving school and recently celebrated his first wank. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Wild West 28mm nuts. This is £3.29 in The Range. Size seems about right. Will pick up tomorrow and report back. With added western spark funnel and a cowboy catcher. And a tied up soldier at the front with a sign saying "Confederate Spy" around his neck. Maybe.
I've added my name to the open letter calling for a public inquiry into the tragic death of Professor Jason Arday. Will you join me? goodlaw.social/625453
Jason Arday: Demand a public inquiry now | Good Law Project
Commission an immediate public inquiry into how to ensure a responsible press given its contribution to Dr Arday’s tragic death.

Quite weird to hear BBC News describe Jason Arday as “the black professor accused of plagiarism”. Is every story about a white professor going to include the relevant adjective?
Absolutely appalling news. Poor guy. He had more intensive media drilling down than people like Farage, Johnson and Jenrick who also created fantasy lives, except he did it without malice. The English media class is a disgrace. Rest in Peace.
Spending an age sorting out the garage so I can have a dedicated wargames space. Never knew I had so much stuff I don't need. Books are the biggest hurdle. Far too many and hard to get shot of.
Definitely autumn. Its dark at 8pm, Halloween stuff im The Range, and back to school aisles im the supermarkets.

Thought I better not stray too far off my bluesky topic. Here's the #DeadMansHand 3x3 board drying in the sun. PVA, baking soda and burnt Sienna acrylic mix. Will give it a dark pva wash before highlighting with lighter brown.
I normally baulk at the prices of intro/starter sets, but at £42.50, with a wide range of stuff on the sprues, this looks like an absolute banger from Victrix. www.victrixlimited.com/pages/pillag...

My Old West/Wild West project is moving even more slowly than Tuco and Blondie moved through the desert, but out of all my figures, finished and unfinished, this is the one I always pull out to look at. "Adios, Half Soldier"
