Wargaming Things (Andy)

Day 100 of No Shame Painting A 100 days of painting done so nothing better than more beige which is mostly what i have been painting for last 100 days! All prints are in a scale whose precise nature is known to three people, two of whom disagree. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 99 of No Shame Painting Flesh wash on the gun crews before the enviable khaki onslaught to follow. All 3D prints are produced in a scale that once defeated 28mm in single combat, although witnesses are scarce. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 98 of No Shame Painting Just a little time to put the first coat of flesh on the 2lb crews. Off to drink rum as it’s my birthday today. All 3D prints are produced in a scale that has been the subject of entirely disproportionate outrage. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 97 of No Shame Painting Finally finished the Drinks Cabinet support option for 1940 games. Undercoated the 2lb-er crews. All 3D prints are produced in a scale whose dimensions are a matter of interpretation, not measurement. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 96 of No Shame Painting What looks like a scrapyard of Matilda I with supports removed. Tracks are a real pain to remove supports too! All 3D prints are produced in a scale that was foretold in an obscure passage of the Book of Airfix. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 95 of No Shame Painting A trio of mighty Matilda I fresh off the printer and ready to be prepped for undercoating. All produced in a scale that would make Goldilocks put down her porridge and applaud. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 94 of No Shame Painting 2 pdr crews ready for priming ehen thr rain stops?!? Camo started on the CS9s. All 3D prints are produced in a scale that is to wargaming what the correct way to hang toilet paper is to domestic harmony. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 93 of No Shame Painting Crew assembled for one 2 pdr and the second one is drying ready to be cured. All 3D prints are produced in a scale that has never knowingly been accused of being fashionable. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 92 of No Shame Painting Dry brushed and weathered the 2 pdrs whilst the printer is busy with the crews. All 3D prints are produced in a scale that has been passed down from father to son, usually in biscuit tins. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Interesting exercise but I might choose a different set on a different day... www.my9albums.com/s/92EVfVPFRt

Day 91 of No Shame Painting Kinda heavy oil wash on the 2 pdrs to be wet brushed back tomorrow. Noodled the Drinks Cabinet but how to base it? All 3D prints are in a scale that was discovered rather than invented, like gravity or cheese. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 90 of No Shame Painting A trio of Morris CS9s base coated with Russian Uniform oddly. Need to dry a bit before some camo application. All 3D prints are produced in a scale that was perfectly innocent until someone mentioned it on Facebook. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 89 of No Shame Painting Motorcycles put to one side until I get some decals and then finish basing them. Onto a trio of mighty Morris CS9s! All 3D prints are produced in a scale that has nothing to prove, particularly to 28mm. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 88 of No Shame Painting Final fiddly assembly on to 40mm bases and decals done. Need some Tyne Tees Div decals before i can finish grrrrr All 3D prints are produced in a scale considered acceptable in polite society. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 87 of No Shame Painting BEF motorcycle section nearly finished, just a bit more highlighting and then basing. Printer still pushing out Morris CS9’s. All 3D prints are produced in a scale that requires neither apology nor explanation. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 86 of No Shame Painting Uniforms highlighted and beginning to highlight the blanco. All 3D prints are produced in a scale that has been quietly getting on with things for decades. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 85 of No Shame Painting 2pdrs assemble! Ready for priming. Printer busy running off more CS9s. All 3D prints are produced in a scale about which sensible people need not concern themselves. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

Day 84 of No Shame… Printing Washed 2pdrs ready for a quick cure, also started printing a trio of Morris CS9s. All 3D prints are produced in a scale which has served perfectly well until now. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

A few photos from the lovely Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum in Winchester chasing up details of a friend's grandfather who we think was in 7th Btn. #royalhampshires #winchester #wargaming

Day 83 of No Shame Painting English uniform highlighting begins. A couple of 2 pounders off the printer too. All 3D prints are produced in a scale of entirely reasonable proportions. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm #hobbystreak #CoC

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

I have just put up a blog post on sourcing, printing and painting my 1940 BEF Bren Carrier section for your wargaming pleasure 😀 #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm

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

Although the there were fewer StuGs in 1940 than there are arguments about whether vehicles should be based, I have been looking at this superb sculpt from Counlane. Obviously in 20mm! www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-pr... #FestiveTankChallenge2026

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

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.

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

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

If Carlsberg made tanks without bases… #CoC #spreadthelard #wargaming #neverbaseyourtanks #AllUnbasedTanksAreLeftBehind

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 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

Fantastic second game of Midgard at the club with orcs vrs dorfs. Orcs managed to outflank and my trolls wiped out the dorf hearthguard Very close game but in the end but the green skins won! @markbackhouse29.bsky.social 's gorgeous 80/90's minis too! #oldhammer #midgard #spreadthelard

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

Day 66 of No Shame Painting Pin washes on 3 Bren Gun Carrier, 7 motorcycles and a 1lb AT gun. Weathered the 4th carrier too. All 3D prints are produced in the scale we settled on before things got unpleasant. #wargaming #spreadthelard #20mm

Day 65 of No Shame Painting Final push and finished off the Cthulhu cultists. Even had time to weather my first Bren Gun Carrier too. #wargaming #cthulhu #28mm

Day 64 of No Shame Painting Robes done and moving on to all the twiddly bits for the Cthulhu cultists. #wargaming #cthulhu #28mm

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

Day 63 of No Shame Painting Progressing the Cthulhu cultists, all robes painted, washed and base highlighted, bases sanded and skulls given their first wash. Highlighting robes and skulls next, then on to belts/cummerbunds (?). #wargaming #cthulhu #28mm

Day 62 of No Shame Painting Decals have arrived but enjoying painting my Cthulhu cultists. Such a break from khaki and Blanco! #wargaming #cthulhu #28mm
