On Tuesday, I'm off to see Dame @wmarybeard.bsky.social give a lecture at NYU - which is just a few blocks from my office. I'm really looking forward to it although the mate I was supposed to be going with, the silly arse, contrived to book to watch on Zoom.

The Copplestone Back of Beyond range is fantastic but it lacks some suitable figures to do a proper platoon. After many years of thinking about it, I've finally made some bombers and rifle-bombers. Not exactly works of art but they'll paint up OK. #spreadthelard

How on earth could that have happened? Shocked - shocked I tell you - to have three #Midgard units of Germanic cavalry turn up out of the blue! Hoping the snow on Sunday doesn't prevent me sticking these lads togther. #spreadthelard

Started on Black Redcoats by @blackredcoats.bsky.social this weekend. HM Corps of Colonial Marines in the War of 1812 (or Anglo-America War as Mr. Taylor calls it). Excellent so far and an SP scenario in just the first few pages. Recommended, I even started painting. #spreadthelard

A big box of laser-cut mdf has arrived from Dunfermline. Usual great service from @warbases.bsky.social . #Midgard Stage 2 can begin. I ask that the sabots not be glued - I replace the bottom layer with thin plasticard. The bottoms will be used for movement bases for "awkward" units.

The Glory that was Rome! If Rome had been blocked and washed with shield transfers. Finished basing my Roman infantry today thanks to Dr MLK. Quite pleased with these. #Midgard #spreadthelard

What have the Romans ever done for us? Finally got the last of the Roman infantry done for #Midgard. A few skirmishers, some cavalry and then basing. Really enjoying this prject. #spreadthelard

Nearly there: the penultimate unit of Roman infantry. Not in the same league as @mammamattsson.bsky.social but they'll do. Particularly like this LBMS shield design but not looking forward to basing all of these. #Midgard #spreadthelard

Left on my own for a couple of hours so a bit more progress on my #Midgard Late Romans. The end is in sight - at least for the infantry. Fresh LBMS transfers rather easier than the ones I've had for years. #spreadthelard

An everyday tale of country folk. Managed to complete the archers for my Late Roman #Midgard army this weekend. Toshed and washed but they'll look fine en masse. #spreadthelard
