Day 17 of No Shame err... Riveting Today has been literally riveting, been busy hiding all MDF-ness of a MDF bridge by adding panelling, chains and rivets. I do wonder why buy MDF is all you are going to do is disguise it? #spreadthelard #wargaming #WIPWednesday
Day 16 of No Shame Painting Having shamed myself with yesterday's photos decided to try to make a better stage so to speak. BEF Boys teams and a Lewis Gunner to finish off. Thoughts on the set up ? Any tips or advice? #spreadthelard #wargaming
Qudos to @markbackhouse29.bsky.social for my shout out as his own personal 3D printing monkey! I am famous at last.... okay probably not but I will take it! #wargaming

Day 15 of No Shame Painting Good day with quite a bit done only let done by some terrible photography, so only one picture today of one Boys AT Team. All 3D prints are in the narrow path between abundance and extravagance scale. #spreadthelard #wargaming
We will be running an inaugural participation game of Chivalry and Honour at Colours in Newbury on 5th September based around a battle to be decided from the Norman Conquest. Please pop by and say hello or join in and roll a few dice with us.
Day 14 of No Shame Painting 1 lb-er crew of five and NCO finished. Now I need to complete the 1lb gun but that can wait until the airbrush comes out for the other vehicles and can do a batch job. All 3D prints are in the shadow between fifteen and twenty-eight scale. #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 13 of No Shame Painting 1 lb-er crew uniforms and blanco highlighted and bases cleaned up. Next more highlighting and they should be good to go. All models are in the scale those who know better. #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 12 of No Shame Painting Only time for a quick undercoat of my Dutch/Belgian MDF bridge, next I need to add some rivets and break up the very flat MDF-ness of the whole thin (and make some repairs too). All models are in the scale between compromise and excess. #spreadthelard #wargaming
He's a bit porky and clearly regretting his life choices, such great character in this 20mm Colonel Muller print.
Sonic Sledgehammer@sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social · 6d agoIt isn't yet the end of the week, but who doesn't want some more good vibes around the place? Do me a little favour! Quote this post with something you've painted that you're proud of, or you just really like. Doesn't have to be your best, just something that makes you smile when you see it!
William brings up his cavalry on the right flank as the Saxons leave the safety of the hill to counterattack the weakened Norman centre. While the Norman infantry in the centre falters under the pressure, William’s knights manage to bludgeon their way through the Saxon shieldwall and breaking them.
Day 11 of No Shame Painting Starting the highlights of the uniforms, bases painted for highlighting later All 3D prints are scaled to perfection. #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 10 of No Shame Painting Only a little time spent painting as off to watch The Odyssey. 2nd wash on BEF chaps, faces painted on engineers and a ponder on how to paint the motorbikes, maybe airgun? All 3D prints are scaled according to the Twentyfold Mystery #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 9 of No Shame Painting Very productive day, base colours finished and first wash applied to latest batch of BEF. More BEF following with two teams of Engineers and a Motorcycle Section on Nortons. All 3D prints are in the Correct Scale™ #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 8 of No Shame Painting Short session adding in the webbing to some of the mob. Printed off a couple of drinks cabinets and got a mystery bonus gift in the mail too! All in the measure preferred by those of impeccable judgement scale. #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 7 of No Shame Painting So I have accrued no shame by being able to spend time painting every day for 7 days! A little bridge mdf model, full of gaps and easily snapped bits and all in a lim(x→∞) (20x + 1) / x mm scale (work it out...) #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 6 of No Shame Painting. Second coat of English Uniform on the 1 pounder crew and JL, lewis gunner and two Boys teams. Sand added to bases. All 3D prints and in a scale where twenty millimetres is the measure of a man... Off to make some kourabiedes now. #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 5 of No Shame Painting. Finished two mortar teams and a sniper/spotter combo. Started work on the next batch of BEF too: 1 pounder crew and JL, lewis gunner and two Boys teams. All 3D prints and in a scale that is not 28mm or 15mm but in the goldilocks zone... #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 4 of No Shame Painting. Progressing the mortar teams and sniper/spotter combo nicely, just need to finish basing them. Undercoated the next wodge of BEF too. Off to the club tonight for some wargaming fun too! All 3D prints and in a scale "that can not be named" #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 3 of No Shame Painting. Based up the officers and cracked on with two mortars teams and sniper/spotter combo. All 3D prints and in a scale of your choosing... #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 2 of No Shame Painting. Finished off some Scottish BEF officers and NCOs armed with tommy guns and bagpipes. Bases need finishing. All 3D prints and in 20mm (The One True Scale). Onwards tomorrow to progressing a couple of 2" mortar teams and a sniper team next. #spreadthelard #wargaming
Day 1 of No Shame Painting. Highlighted uniforms of some 20mm BEF chaps, mostly officers and NCOs armed with tommy guns and bagpipes. Another highlight of blanco tomorrow to avoid the shame! #spreadthelard #wargaming
I haven't been applying myself to my painting schedule to my eternal shame! I will endeavour to paint every day this week and be judged accordingly. #spreadthelard #wargaming

Battling with mdf gaps and misalignments remind me why I usually scratch build. However it is a nice 20mm bridge for Belgium or Holland. #spreadthelard #wargaming
Earlier this year at our Lardy Day "CAHAGIYTYLE 2026”, I ran a 1940 scenario involving the 53e Battalion de Chasseurs Alpins and their fierce defence of the Normandy village of Biville-la-Baignarde from Schützen Regiment 13. Scenario available free on my blog. Enjoy! #spreadthelard #wargaming

Next up on the printing plate are some lovely BobMack3D 20mm early war Bren Carriers from their recent KickStarter. A little editing to replace a Boys AT rifle on one. Tracks to follow with some storage to spice them up. #spreadthelard #wargaming #STL
The bedroom fan has died! Time to schlep round all the local shops for a fan, my hopes are not high!

A bit more Chivalry and Honour playtesting. Not quite got the archery right yet but think we have resolved it.
Drinks Cabinet support choice "The numerous references to British senior officers authorising the doling out of alcohol, be that the regulation rum ration or “liberated” stocks held at Headquarters, in order to restore the men at times of crisis cannot be ignored" #spreadthelard #wargaming #STL
