[unofficial weekender] First of 2026

So you had two weeks off and started painting on the last day.

When is your next holiday so you can paint at the end of it again?

Around eastern I guess

hurray! Kids back in school so my real holiday started today, and not back in work til Wednesday. On the pledge I got my 3d printing space cleared and most of the painting desk is now accessible.

Started my commission, and have a big new one coming in – I’m going to be busy…

Well that was a fun Tuesday.

Undressing the Christmas tree, taking the naked tree to the next school and dump its corpse there (city collects them for what ever reason). Fell on my rear end in the process. My arms felt like what I imagine 100 pull ups feel like. And to top it all off: goofing around in The Hobby Hangout and getting a cramp of my life in my right leg. FUN I say! XD

Outch. It still hurts a bit XD

@sundancer, are you suffering from the terrible affliction known as ‘getting older’?

A little late, but only just now catching up with this weeks’ emails.

 

This weeks’ pledge is to do my entry for the January painting competition.

 

• Have you bought any miniatures yet? – Nope. I think it’s been many months now since I actually did.

Hurrah, Happy 2026 gang, what a lovely oasis of calm OTT is compared to the rest of the world at the moment 🙂

Pledge – Start digging an Anderson shelter; maybe some hobby time can be squeezed in between the desperate shovelling.

My First Miniatures purchase of the year was the Fallout Hollywood Heroes set, ironically ordered before the sharp slide towards that kind of reality. I fancied a change, and I’m a fan of the TV show and the games, something to paint when the GW fatigue starts kicking in.

Do Team Yankee make a WW3 bundle featuring Greenland?

*taps the ‘no politics’ sign*

[limburger 22505xp 3]

finalizing a pledge for a kickstarter you backed is technically not buying anything new, is it ? 😉

In other news :
– trains are barely running, because it’s cold and there has been snow
– there is no salt left for gritting the streets … and we’re barely a few days into good winter weather

oh … and I don’t have a snow shovel, so there’s easily 20 cm snow in my garden.

I don’t need to go outside if I don’t need to, so I’m good … for now.

I’m not sure what is going on at 1600 Pennsylvania is technically politics @sundancer, but I can take a hint.
