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

You are very kind, big magnifying glass and patience is required

4 October 1936. Battle of Cable Street took place in Cable Street, Whitechapel, London. It was a clash between the Metropolitan Police, protecting a march by the British Union of Fascists (BUF) led by Sir Oswald Mosley and various anti-fascist and Jewish demonstrators.

28mm works on a 6x8 table but not 4x6 IMHO

They are nice but horribly fiddly to paint though

Come and have a go if you think you’re LARD enough will be on 16th January 2027 near Southampton. We are looking for enthusiastic game organisers willing to run a morning and an afternoon game.

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

Thanks, but French camo is the worst to paint though!

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

Yes, a "generous" weathering can hide a multitude of sins...

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 72 of No Shame Painting Crew highlighted and stowage tickled. Next are the tracks and weathering 1-lb AT gun bases tweaked. All 3D prints are produced in 20mm by appointment to the Ministry of Administrative Measuring. #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 69 (nice) of No Shame Painting Crews on the carriers given their base coats. Drying for a wash tomorrow. All 3D prints are produced in a scale of twenty. Twenty being the number immediately following nineteen. #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

Day 67 of No Shame Painting Dry brushing a-go-go on 3 Bren Gun Carriers, 7 motorcycles and a 1lb AT Gun. Started to pick out the stowage. All 3D prints are produced in the scale occupying the high ground between two entrenched positions. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm

He/she has turned out quite nicely so far, I think I am going to add red cummerbunds to them all to make it look like part of the "uniform"

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
