Just saw #DimmuBorgir in Chicago. Fantastic. Last time I saw them here was at least 15 years ago, and they still kicked ass. The audio mix was a little messy, but otherwise, it was great.

Fan of the Steelers, miniature painting, good grammar, and people who can think for themselves. "Sculpt" is a verb. "Meta" is a prefix.
#WIPWednesday is Immortal Hulk for #MarvelCrisisProtocol. The base is pretty much done, so it's just a bunch of green and purple still to go. :)
Donald Trump has always been the King of Trash Human Beings. The dementia is just making it more obvious.
My 58th model of 2026 is complete. It's Abomination for #MarvelCrisisProtocol. I had some life stuff get in the way for a few days, but I still got him done on time. Mostly good. Some bad. Overall pleased. Up next, Immortal Hulk.
An important reminder to a nation full of pious busybodies:
#WIPWednesday is Abomination for #MarvelCrisisProtocol. I think he might even get done tonight. Tomorrow at the latest.

For the first time ever, I've just bought tickets to see the same movie two times without seeing it once first. Can't wait for Spider-man #BrandNewDay!

Evidence has mounted that the supposed “gash” in the Reflecting Pool is... ...tire tracks Trump caused by insisting his many-ton presidential convoy drive on the pool’s fragile surface. Why? He was too lazy to walk. Per his own edict, he must now do 10 years in federal prison.
#WIPWednesday is Mighty Thor for #MarvelCrisisProtocol. As usual for a WIP, there's much still to do, but the basic colors are established, so the rest is easy (relatively).
@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social Thanks for having the Maine Executive Director tonight. I suggest that in order to help Dems not seem uneducated, you could correct obvious grammar errors from guests, such as "us Mariners." It would help to make sure folks don't lose confidence in their leaders.
#WIPWednesday #MoonKnight for #MarvelUnited. MCP model shown for comparison. Long way to go, but there we are.
Just finished model 53 of 2026. It's a Stage 1A Lord L, commander of The Plague, for #EpicWarpath from @manticgames.bsky.social. Such a great game. So good. Like, really, really good. Let the Plague spread! Bwa ha ha. Ha ha ha. Or something like that.
#Supergirl in one word: Flat. Another? Dull. More? Washed out. Boring. Inconsequential. Grey. Uninteresting. Disappointing. I went in wanting to love it. She's not my favorite character, but I was really looking forward to being delighted. Oof. I was disappointed, severely.
I hate that my old eyes can't see the details and mistakes that the camera sees, but it's ok. I'll enjoy him on the table with those old eyes and not be able to tell there are issues. 🙂 #Claptrap for #MisterTorgue'sArenaofBadassery by @monsterfightclub.bsky.social Model 52 of 2026 is done (ish).
I support sci-fi. Even B movies can be enjoyable, plus, there is often something meaningful to take away from it. I almost never shit on sci-fi. Almost. Please, for the love of gawd, do NOT go see #Supergirl. It's bad. It's boring. It's visually bland. The writing is crap. It's really super bad.
#WIPWednesday is a #Borderlands Claptrap for #MisterTorgue'sArenaofBadassery by @monsterfightclub.bsky.social. He's a fun little guy with a long way to go yet, but he'll be done soon. :)
Model 51 of 2026 is complete. It's Krampus from @monsterfightclub.bsky.social. I don't play the game he's from, but I couldn't resist painting him. The most fun part is the captured misbehaving child stuffed into his sack. This started with 1-Step, but then I redid it mostly with regular paint.
Suuuuuper early #WIPWednesday for Krampus and Epic Warpath. For whatever reason, the texture paste doesn't stick to the base on Krampus. Strange.
X-Men vs. Sentinels Last night. First #MarvelCrisisProtocol game this year. The dirty muties won, but when Nimrod gets painted, I'll have my revenge. :)
Early #WIPWednesday. K2-SO for #Shatterpoint. Such an incredibly simple model. Everything is accessible. Nothing is complex. This is a nice, relaxing model to paint. More models should be like this (and less like the massively complex, but awesome, models from some other companies).
#He-Man really might be the perfect movie. I have others that are my faves ahead of it, but hot damn, this was perfect. Music, pacing, comedy, seriousness when needed, fx, ... just all of it. I love movies in the theater, but never go twice. I actually might go see this again. It was AWESOME.
