@big_eye123 Thanks! I think I’ll be using them cars for future photos too

@SvenFu Lovely. The cars sell the scale of a battlemech perfectly.

Latest BattleTech stuff off the workbench: a huge building and a Hunchback - civilian cars for scale. Really enjoy playing around with different stompy robot painting techniques.

@A_PrincessMarie Thank you princess 🙏🏻

@SvenFu Hunchie is my favourite medium IS mech, looks great!

@Ganglosaxonnne Cheers! Free 3D print from @Thunderhead_S, part of this great set: thunderhead-studio.com/products/techs…

@SvenFu Love that warehouse.

@BigGeckoOnly Thank you muchly

@SvenFu That's a great looking Hunchback

@MammaMattsson @PaintsDb @Anvil_Industry Yikes! NeeCon 2027 confirmed visitors

”Did you hear something Igor?” Daemons! Some big monsters for my Zona Alfa games. All Metro fans out there probably recognize these beasts. Both done with drybrush and wash. Minis from @Anvil_Industry. #warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #miniaturepainting #zonaalpha #28mm

@CZilmer @mikupill @WhitePapersPol The type of jobs, income levels, etc are important too. As are the other part of the equation, the cost side, and here different groups cause different levels of strain on government services, redistribution, benefits etc.

@SvenFu @mikupill @WhitePapersPol It’s the main parameter actually.

The World Bank estimates that it will cost €186 billion to rebuild Syria. The 265,000 Syrians in Sweden will cost €252 billion over the next 50 years. It would be €66 billion cheaper for Sweden to unilaterally fund the reconstruction and then deport every Syrian rather than to continue hosting them.

@yarkshiregamer That’s seriously impressive Ken

All the hard work is done 28mm #Swiss Pike Block is done, 160 figs here (Inc rear Rankers from another block) really happy with the final look and definitely need a lie down ! #wargames #history #hobby #tabletopgaming

@CZilmer @mikupill @WhitePapersPol I think you know net tax contribution is not only about employment rates, right?

@mikupill @WhitePapersPol For descendants employment rates above 60% (they are about 70% in Denmark) means net contributors as no elderly burden for those yet. Elderly makes of about 40% of public spending.

@gareth_lane Not everyone agrees but I’ll take it

@SvenFu You are too kind bro

Jacobite Rebellion 1745 - Manchester's Regiment

@Sanboriqua_Arts @WarlordGames @wargamingweekly @_HistoryNerd @NKGames Looking forward to it 🙌🏻

@SvenFu @WarlordGames @wargamingweekly @_HistoryNerd @NKGames I’m currently working on a technique that’ll help me finish 5 units within the same timeframe. I’ll post it when I’m done

FINALLY…… 😮‍💨 I finished painting my first unit for @WarlordGames Epic Battles “REVOLUTION!”

@cavtroop50 @AdamDavidWarne2 @Pagan_Fury Thanks, Mark. Less useful for our Napoleonic endeavours though

@SvenFu @AdamDavidWarne2 @Pagan_Fury Nice!

Printed and painted a bunch of 1/300 scale telephone poles. 6mm early WWII Germans for scale. Bases designed by the indefatigable @Pagan_Fury.

As Colin at Charlie Foxtrot Models models is about to retire I thought I would repost one of our greatest collaborations, the Spanish Windmill. This pictured model was built by me and featured in the article in Wargames Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy.

@Medical_Int @Pagan_Fury Much obliged, sir

@SvenFu @Pagan_Fury Very nice Sven.

@Lutra_Gaming @Ganglosaxonnne I don’t think it’s bad. But I reckon it would be better if the background planet (?) was a perfect circle

Any ideas on how to fix this piece of shit cover?

@Sanboriqua_Arts @WarlordGames @wargamingweekly @_HistoryNerd @NKGames Wow, it’ll be a while until you can field an army then 😅

@SvenFu @WarlordGames @wargamingweekly @_HistoryNerd @NKGames Thanks 😊. I took me a month just to finish this one ☝️ unit.

@PaintsDb That’s what’s in the middle guy’s sack on his back!

@SvenFu It’ll be the extra portion of millet they received !! 🤣

A trio of WW2 Soviet officers painted this evening. 28mm Warlord resin figures for my bolt action Soviets.
