Day 82 of No Shame Painting Second wash of diluted strong tone on the crews and now to dry before the highlighting can begin. All 3D prints are produced in the scale chosen by common sense shortly before common sense left the hobby. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 81 of No Shame Painting First wash of diluted strong tone on the crews. Always very pleased when the wash goes on! All 3D prints are produced in the scale indicated by the Holy Hand Grenade instructions: not fifteen, not twenty-eight… #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 80 of No Shame Painting Riders progressed, all models cleaned up and ready for washes. All 3D prints are produced in the scale about which the Geneva Conventions remain strangely silent. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Day 79 of No Shame Painting Progressed the side cars of the m/c section to clean up stage before washes. Gas mask bags finished on riders too. All 3D prints are produced in 20mm. The mathematics is complicated, but fortunately the answer isn’t. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Day 78 of No Shame Painting Productive day with carriers weathered and m/c section uniforms base coated. All 3D prints are produced at a scale somewhere between “too small” and “good God, where will I store that?” #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Wargaming Things (Andy) @wargamingthings.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Day 77 of No Shame Painting Other tracks weathered on each carrier and faces painted and first washes on the motorcycle section. All 3D prints are produced in 20mm. Any resemblance to 1/72 is entirely the fault of history. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Wargaming Things (Andy) @wargamingthings.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Day 76 of No Shame Painting One set of tracks weathered on each carrier and started painting the motorcycle section. All 3D prints are produced in 20mm. I realise this may disappoint people who enjoy being wrong. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Day 75 of No Shame Painting All decals finally finished, my French forces organised as well. All 3D prints are produced in a scale so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Day 74 of No Shame Painting Damn decals are fiddly, over an hour and still not done! All 3D prints are produced in a scale determined by an entirely reliable swallow. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Day 73 of No Shame Painting Remind to paint the tracks before I glue the buggers on next time! Almost time for decals and some nice weathering. All 3D prints are produced in 20mm. Five is right out. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Day 71 of No Shame Painting More washes and stowage tidy up on the carriers. 1-lb AT gun based and first flourish of flock applied. All 3D prints are produced in the scale approved by the 20mm People’s Front. Splitters. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Day 70 of No Shame Painting First wash on the crews on the carriers. Another wash tomorrow and then on to the highlights. All 3D prints are produced in the scale which asks: What have the 28mm players ever done for us? #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

Day 68 of No Shame Painting Starting the tricky job of painting crews on the carriers, next time I will make them separately. All 3D prints are produced in the scale your local club insists nobody uses. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak

A friendly afternoon game with that nice @markbackhouse29.bsky.social playtesting #chivalry&honour with Battle of Lindsey 1066. Great fun and a fantastic narrative battle that ended badly for the Viking horde (commentary on photos). #strength&honour #vikings #1066 #deadvikings

At the club this week, my first game of Snorkers(Good Oh!) from In Which They Served Games, a clash in the Far East. Despite the Kako taking heavy damage the long lances eventually decimated the US fleet. Absolutely loved the game too! #wargames #snorkersgoodoh #wargamers #navalwargames

Day 53 of No Shame Undercoating Cloudy day so perfect to undercoat an #Ecorcheurs English retinue, six #cthulhu cultists, and for the BEF a 1-lber, 4 bren gun carriers and m/c section. All 3D prints in the pure scale polluted by some 28mm as well #spreadthelard #wargames #wargaming #20mm

Day 52 of No Shame Painting Time to put the actual Vickers MMG together onto a base. More highlighting and base work still to do. All 3D prints are produced in the scale nobody wanted until they saw how much table space it saved. #spreadthelard #wargames #wargaming #20mm

Day 49 of No Shame Painting Only time to add some basing sand to the BEF Vickers crews this afternoon, and oddly some mushrooms (go figure?) All 3D prints are in XXmm. Latin scholars may draw their own conclusions. #spreadthelard #wargames #wargaming #20mm
