This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Been awhile since we've done a ##WIPWEDNESDAY so, seeming as it just turned midnight here's some shots of the PaK40, PaK50 infantry guns, 8cm mortars and crew for the 36th VolksGr project. Guns are mostly done and so focus is on the crew. #flamesOfWar #ww2 #wip ##paintingminiatures #NewYearNewArmy

@britishbersagliere.bsky.social Well, that gets some more use out of the LCA models! Will have to add this to my reading list for Pacific theatre games.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

Amidst the dizzying array of incredible technical writing in Dan Abnett's new book Interceptor City there needs to be a character that just talks like this.

You wait all day for some fresh #Flamesofwar units and three arrive at once! I decided to do the Volks Rifle, Volks Assault and Volks Scout/Understrength Volks Assault Platoon in one go. Now, onto the last of the support weapons. #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #15mm #ww2 #wargaming

My brother has managed to paint 60 points of Swedes for #teamyankee in a month. He's going to be playing against @leeparnell.bsky.social for his first game with them, so i've set up a battlefield for them. I wildly overestimated Gotlands infrastructure, but whatever. USMC models for flavour.

I take a look at the new Israeli* book for WW3: #TeamYankee breakthroughassault.co.uk/ww3team-yank... (*One wonders if BF had to sit on this one for a few months longer than originally planned...) #TeamYankeeWW3 #ww3TeamYankee

Mike and Lee return with "Time of Day", the transatlantic #wargaming #podcast to look at how well they predicted the 2024 end of year video reveals, take a peek at the new #Flamesofwar and #teamyankeeww3 webstore and talk about the year's upcoming projects.

Last night chatting with chums managed to get the AAVP7 Amphibious vehicles finished. Saipan and Peleliu. These are really chunky models. If you dropped on your toe you'd be worried about breaking a bone rather than the heavy metal and resin. Great quality from battlefront tho! #teamyankee

Off the painting bench this week is the start of a bonkers project, even for me. These are 15mm Swiss infantry for WW2. I blame historians for writing stupid books!

Hobby Tip: Sculptamould/DIY Analog Great for terrain. A mixture of paper pulp & plaster, it can be applied thicker then poly-filler, does not have the cracking issue & the fiber makes it robust. Use it to build up/add uneven earth and rubble. #Pantmongertutes #WarhammerCommunity

The leaders of a couple of Burrows & Badgers bands fight it out... Royalists v Rogues! I reckon the fox would've preferred a little more distance between them; a couple of shots from that caliver would really tip the balance... :) #burrowsandbadgers #animal #anthropomorphic #miniatures #oathsworn

A bit of #WIPwednesday as we continue with the VolksGr rifle and assault platoons. Doing the uniform highlighting in groups of six stocks to stop an evening getting two samey. Just got the white areas left on the first block. #Flanesofwar #ww2 #15mm #wip #paintingminiatures

i stride into the grocery store with two guns, blood from the razor sewn into the waistband of my pants drips down my ass while blood from the razor blade in the tongue of my shoe soaks the escape map that shows me how to get back to my house two miles away. i have forgotten my wallet.

Last night I found a 50 year old Rupert the Bear annual on the charity bookshelf at Barrow-in-Furness railway station. The content was a little raunchier than I remember.

DPM is tricky at #15mm but I think I have my recipe:-) I may need to just add 1 or 2 more very faint black swirls, I’ll check when it’s all dry. Painting references over the weekend (as the company progresses) #NORTHAG #7DttRR

I am absolutely loving this image of an Indian soldier making his dinner in France during -#WW1. That is the look of my ancestors whenever someone non-Indian walks into their restaurant and asks them for the hottest curry they’ve got*
