#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3149. Some progress on the new Timekeeper (v 3.0). I'm rather happy with the first clock. The æther bulb needs some reinforcement and strapping, i'd like it to not leak on me.

How have I never heard GBH until today? I'm a 49 y/o punk. And as I always say, don't fuck with old punks - we're the ones who survived.

Boss made me zip up my Walmart vest yesterday - TOTALLY cramps my style. She saw me unzipped today? Didn't say a fucking word about it.

1938's "The Adventures of Robin Hood" is STILL a masterpiece.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3142. Acquired the final piece. Cost me 20 bucks, but it's basically a ready-made steampunk pistol. Love it, already started carving off the Nerf logos and such...

Depression continues. But i'll be posting some new #hobbystreak pics in the morning. I'm on day 3141 at this point. It's still alive, and I've got yet another new projekt starting in the morning, once I pick up one...last...piece...I'm feeling...optimistic about this new one.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3120. Found these interesting things at work today - i *think* they probably lined Halloween masks. One will probably become a mountain for my buddy's Kaiju project, and the other makes me wish for epic-scale Necromunda...also more stuff for Eric.

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3106. While i await car repairs this morning, I've rebuilt and modified the universe's most aggressive note taker - his three(!) Right arms all have quills, his upper left is a spotlight, his middle left holds the parchment, and his lowest left is simply a hand.

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3105. Sorry for the delay, as usual, fans. Been a rough go of it lately. *Might* have a running car in the morning, but that isn't hobby related. These last 2 Meatheads are done/about done, and the mascot Caryatid is rebased and touched up. I rather like her.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3099. Finished another of these tech-shits. Only two left. I'd show off my Interrogator, but either my wife or my son dropped him, and now his (MOTU) Power Sword is missing...

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3098. Been neglecting you fine folks again, sorry. Dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety issues lately, plus car problems and another death in the family. Highlighted the towers on my Canoness' banner, also almost done with the tech scum and an Interrogator.

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3092. 2 more bits of cannon fodder for the Obsidian, rather like the second guy. I watched MOTU tonight - I can die happy now, it was AWESOME. EASILY in my top three movies, alongside Ready Player One and Alita/Battle Angel.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3089. Totally not exciting picture of 3 blokes who've been undercoated! The follow up will be better, though.

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3088. Slapped some more paint on these tech-thralls. TBPH, they're only being painted to test out Speedpaints. But they'll also make good bullet catchers for the Obsidian.

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3086. I found this Skibbiti Toilet toy in the clearance aisle last night. I dunno what the fuck Skibbiti Toilet is, but it looks like a ready-made Gaslands vehicle to me. Even the "person" is almost to scale. Just needs a little modification and some paint.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3084. Dug these two monsters out of a box this morning. They DESPERATELY need a bath and some minor repairs, but soon they'll be invisible. And by that I mean purple. I DO need to put some scorch effects on them as well, but at the time, I didn't have the skills I do now.

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3082. This become problematic as of late. I need to get my brain and hand checked out for nerve and/or neurological damage. As for painting, well, that's been iffy. I need to highlight the towers on this Canoness' banner, it's hard to see in person, too fucking dark.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3078. Been working on tons of shit the past few sessions (pics to follow). Tonight I'm happy to place Nu-77 on the Obsidian's complement list. I don't think he belongs to anyone in particular, just a random gun servitor.

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3074. Big string of ammunition almost done, just need the bright silver on the bullet casings, then some highlighting. As for the big guy himself, touched up the green basecoats, and started making his power klaw brighter. It's probably not obvious yet.

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3073. Sorry for the skip, folks. Just too lazy to post. Today (after some yard work) I'll be finishing this rather long chain of bullets. Should be fun!

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 30/06/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3067. FINALLY got myself covered in metal - in hindsight, I should have just u/c'd him in metal and painted over the other bits. I also dropped him earlier, broke his right leg in two places. Repair came out pretty well. Probably starting on his banner pole later.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3066. Man didn't realize how much I depended on my phone - got a new one. So contrary to popular belief, I'm not dead. Been building a 4'x4' ash wastes board for Necromunda/KT/etc, details on that later. Tonight I started the metallics on myself. Then ran out of paint...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3057. Hey fans, sorry I haven't posted anything lately, most of what I've been working on is very dull,and I've been neglecting you all. I'm sorry for that. Tonight I'm working on Deiter here. I can't remember his name, so I'm gonna have to scroll back a few months.

Chin Squig/Game Cat @chin-squig.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3052. Working on another bit of hive scum for the Emperor's Meat Grinder, er, Holy Inquisition. As usual with these blokes, mostly Speedpaints and washes will be used. They're cannon fodder, I can be quick and sloppy with them.

Finished watching the 3 hr cut of 1993's Needful Things. While quite different from the novel - a personal favorite - it was still pretty amazing. Good acting, good effects, et cetera. Recommended. Time to start Desperation, which I didn't know existed. An interesting book, but not one of his best.

NSFW #nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3050. Normally, I don't mind painting skin. I'm actually not terrible at it. But at THIS fucking scale, it sucks. Her skin needs another few layers of lightening up, I'm thinking.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3049. Painted up another wall/barricade tonight while watching Rose Red. I'm probably gonna do another, and I might start highlights on my (green) skin.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3048. I've concluded that when painting oneself as an entirely different species, one is advised to take baby steps. Painting myself as an Inquisitor has been easy, Hell, the models even looks like me. This one? Not so much.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3045. I've spent the last two sessions assembling minis (and loving my new wardrobe), most of which were too small to use. But this really long thread will be the ones that are usable on the Obsidian Projekt. First is an Escher champion. Recruited by...dunno yet.
