Took me a bit to find the time, but here is a little thread of our recent trip to the North of Spain earlier this month! Starting in Madrid we drove North and had a first little stop in the beautiful medieval city of Burgos which has an absolutely stunning cathedral! (1/10)

In other news: I finally got my articulated carnotaurus model from the beasts of the mesozoic kickstarter! It was well worth the wait, the midel is absolutely amazing and by far my favourite I've got so far!😍😍😍

With the heat finally gone, we decided to go up the castle hill again this weekend! It was soooo nice in the forest and there where flowers blooming everywhere!

I really like the new update, it's definitely much easier now to post my travel picture sets! Have a bunch from our recent trip to Cologne and the Museum of East Asian Art we visited there!

On the way back on our last trip we also visited the medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber! I think the Americans in particular will recognize that first spot, it's apparently one of the most famous tourist sites in Germany.

Having a bit of vacation time, so me and the husband went to a rather famous place: Neuschwanstein castle at the foot of the alps! The inside is just as gorgeous as the outside (sadly no photos allowed in there) and views with the snowcovered mountains were just incredible!

Extremely excited because over Christmas they finally removed the last scaffolding inside our beautiful gothic church. It's the first time in 8 years you can see the entire thing uninhibited, renovatting all the windows really took quite a while!

Some pics from our last day here! Had breakfast at Waffle House and went to an apple festival (we got to ride on a school bus to get there from the parking lot!) The apple dumplings there were sooooo tasty🥰

On the way back we also made a stop at Buc-ee's which is basically a a mix of giant gas station, retail store and food court. It's so hard to describe, like I have never seen this much merch of a random company's mascot. Very fun though, definitely wanna visit that again.

Yesterday we visited a place called Stone Mountain, basically a gigantic rocl made of granite that you can get up to with a cablecar. It has a huge carving of some confederate leaders on its side (boooo), but the views from the top are amazing (yay!).You even can see Atlanta in the distance!

We're in Georgia now and went down to the Georgia Stafe Fair! I got to try a corndog, a deep fried snickers bar and some funnel cake - truly as American as it gets.

Finally going on a bigger trip again, at the moment we are spending a couple days in Washington D.C.! For the first day we mostly walked around the National Mall to look at all the big monuments and buildings there.

Little thread about an absolutely wonderful daytrip we did this weekend to lake Chiemsee near the Alps! When you arrive by train, you get to ride a little train from 1887 down to the lake and we were lucky enough to board the historic paddlewheeler to cross the lake! 1/5

Before and after Dokomi we also did some daytrips, like to the Cologne Zoo!....where they had a ton of dinosaurs in and around the animal enclosures 😂 It was great though, the models were really good, moved and made sounds plus some of them were truly MASSIVE
Two life sized models of of very lifelike Iguanodon.A model of a Dacentrurus witha baby of the species in front of it.A closeup of the head of a lifelike Lourinhanosaurus.An absolutely massive lifesized model of an Argentinosaurus.

Did some miniature painting again this week! Instead of the "normal" dinos I actually painted two 19th century versions of Megalosaurus and Iguanodon based on the Crystal Palace statues (with the up to date versions of each dinosaur for comparison). Also painted the tiny pinecone friend Stegouros!

Hey, remember that Carnotautus skull model I mentioned in this years hourly comics? It finally arrived and holy moly, it's BIG. Didn't expect 1:5 scale to be so much bigger than the 1:8 ones I already have! I love it so much, plus they added a little rhamphorynchus skull magnet as a gift! 😍😍😍

On that note, my dinosaur model collection recently got a new home on the shelfs of our new living room furniture! Now I can display them together with my small fossil collection, too!

I feel extremely lucky that I got the chance to purchase this incredible needle felted sinosauropteryx from @zimthandmade.bsky.social! I love this little guy so much, not only is it extremely cute, but the quality is also out of this world. Really makes you appreciate such hand crafted artworks! 😍😍😍

Love it when the boyfriend plays Dark Souls in the other room and all I hear occasionally is disgruntled sighs and pained "Noooo..." (and very rarely a triumphant "YES" 🤭)

I DID IT. I finally finished my first full playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3!!! That was such a good ending and the epilogue was so sweet, too ;w; I really really enjoyed the whole game and now I wanna draw my Tav Nevasca, too!! In the meantime, have a few screenshots of my him in game.
