This little green engine and his buddy boxcar followed me home today. Problem is, he's too big for my layout.... hmmm is an #HOscale shelf-layout in my future? #modeltrains #ModelRailroad #NMRA

Making stars for my #modelrailroad #modeltrains layout. Going for a Midnight sky, #zombieapocalypse theme
I hold a toothbrush, that has been dipped in white craft paint, and aim it at the midnight purple backdrop of my model railroad. My finger is covered in white paint because I pull my fingertip along the top of the bristles to fling paint at the backdrop, creating white specks to simulate a starfield at night.

Trying to do a nighttime sky on the backdrop for my #modelrailroad layout. Hopefully I'll be running #modeltrains in the #zombieapocalypse soon!

More destruction on the #modelrailroad layout. I'll be running #modeltrains this year, I hope. But I have to drop to only one level. Two was too much bending, stooping and reaching to be healthy. I ain't getting younger.
A tubby model railroader shows how long of hunched reach it is to get to the back corner of his double deck layout. Dumbarse shouldn't have designed it to wide and so close to the upper deck.

Why, yes. My #orcs insist on only the best sound for their concerts in the desert! They always bring Klipsch speakers to their music festivals! #kingsofwar manticgames.bsky.social #forcesoftheabyss
Two units of orcs attack the Moloch unit. the orcs have truss-rigging with Copper Colored cones on the speakers atop the trusses.

Basing for the #Orcs is coming along nicely. That's crushed walnut shells from sandblasting supplies for the rocky ground. I just hit it wet water, and scenic glue via spray bottles. #kingsofwar @manticgames.bsky.social #TTminiatures #miniaturepainting
gaming bases for Kings of war, decorated with rocky bits, and metal towers holding audio speakers allude to an upcoming Orcish concert in the desert in this gaming theme.

I've collected four armies for #conquest. And I've sold three of them off when they over-complicated the army rules. I'm heading back to #KingsofWar for simple to play-tough to master rules

Slowly working my way through the #kingsofwar #fantasyNovels 📚💙 I'm really enjoying Mark Barber's Basilea series. Two books in. Both are solid 4-⭐ or better. A bit of plot armor in book 1, but it fits the background of the character. Highly recommend the series.

I really like @parabellumgames.bsky.social Conquest TLAOK game, but I feel like they are overcomplicating each faction with the most recent re-dos. Too much IF THIS... THEN THAT...and if THIS OTHER THING...EVEN BETTER... I like the Old Dweg, not the new Dweg.

Had to break out the windex to make the curves bend well. Fascia on the upper deck installed. #modelrailroading
A bottle of Windex sits atop the layout in a curved section of the fascia board. Wetting the tempered hardboard with windex helps the board conform to it's shape.

Grognard @grognard-t.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
More Fascia. Done except for the last 8 inches. I don't feel like ripping another section right now so it will wait. I'll probably finish the backdrop then, too. #modelrailroading
