Bolt Action M4 Sherman is loaded up and ready for paint šŸ‘

Gonna have to dial back on social media. Itā€™s making me equal parts furious and anxious, which isnā€™t a good place to be inā€¦

ā€œOf course Iā€™ve bought a new accessory for my telescope? How can you tell?ā€

ā€œThereā€™s only, what? Four? Five colours on these minis? How many paints could I possibly need?ā€

Hah.. Turns out a wet palette can go mouldyā€¦ I need to paint more often.

Business idea: Chain of Welsh lumberjack shirt stores. Plaid Cymru

Seeing the image seen through my telescope projected onto the inside of the eyepiece dust capā€¦

It would be nice to live in less interesting timesā€¦ Just for a few minutesā€¦

Work in progress on some #boltaction US GIsā€¦

The new primary mirror has a longer focal length by 50mm, which now allows me to attach my DSLR, as it couldnā€™t reach the focal point on the previous one.. Getting a pin sharp image is a bit tricky with my budget focuser, but Iā€™m happy none the less.

You know how when some fun sponge says ā€˜actually, thatā€™s not funnyā€™ it just encourages even more piss taking? Same energyā€¦

Put the laser cutter at work to good use while I still have access and have cut more road sections than I could possibly ever need for Bolt action (or any war game, for that matter)

Got me a G1 Jetfire restoration project šŸ˜€

You know how in Monty Pythonā€™s Life of Brian, the leader of the Peopleā€™s Front Of Judea would do nothing to fight the Romans other than make speeches and set up committees with the same half dozen people, but not -actually- do anything? Thatā€™s the Democrats right now. Theyā€™re Reg.
