Finished painting the early war Burma Indian Army 2 Pdr anti-tank gun. Particularly pleased with the junior officer. Just need to finish the base and varnish. #wargaming #spreadthelard #CoC #15mm

Ah Facebook, never change! 🙄 Just posted on Facebook for the first time in ages and first comment is about how it’s the wrong uniform for the period and the unit never existed… (Both wrong by the way…) #GotToLoveBlueSky

Painting update: started into the highlights on my ongoing 1942 Burma Indian army Plt for CoC Far East. One 2pdr AT gun, the second section for the core plt and the 2” mortar for the HQ. Plenty still to do. @dicedad.bsky.social #spreadthelard #CoC #wargaming #15mm

THIS SUNDAY! 11th October at Newark Showground. Ever wanted a woman to enthusiastically monologue about lesser known resistance fighters of WW2? It's your lucky day! If this sounds like your idea of hell you'll have to get past quickly before I get you. more in alt

Partizan Wargames Show
"Come find out about ww2 resistance fighters"
"See the upcoming dutch!"

and Miniatures Truus van Lier and Jan Bonekamp on a roof holding guns, with a Handiwork Games backdrop

"Bad Squiddo Games with Tesseract Miniatures"


more info:I'll be showing off the current range of WW2 Miniatures, the upcoming Dutch Resistance and chatting about all the ideas for the next projects and a whole heap of fascinating facts. You can also buy some minis!


As well as myself, there will be Stu from Tesseract Minis painting one of them, and he'll be able to chat painting tips and tricks, show you his process, and maybe even his current brushes KS....oooh.....


We won't have the racks as we're going in Stu's car - also THANK YOU Stu as I was massively struggling with plans to get there. So please do say hi and/or check out his things as I couldn't have been there without him (or with even less stuff and way more stressed in a taxi) If you want anything specific please pre order ASAP so I can make sure I bring it.


We'll have the rummage boxes like Peachcon and SPRU, which went down really well but don't have the entire range in them!


To find us, just enter the show and keep walking forward. We're pretty much slap bang in the middle of the hall!

I remade the garage in Oosterbeek, near the MDS crossroads. It's far more accurate than the original model. Here is a WiP from the customer that requested it.
