Some three witch kings popped by overnight, bearong gifts. The relevant thing in addition to a t-shirt and Star Wars socks was a #Vallejo acrylics set for Wheels and Tracks. Good stuff!

The box art of Vallejo's Wheels & Tracks acryclic six-paint set for, well, painting rubber wheels and tank tracks.

@Johns_priv @gabrielesvelto we could also call the newest versions of windows simply SlopOS 😋

@ospalh for what it's worth, I personally disliked Pardoe's style and characters from the beginning when a friend lent me his collection of the Classic BT storyline in the early 2000s.

I've also encountered readers who have loved his stuff so who knows, it's a personal thing.

Do give the BattleTech novels a shot, they're generally lots of fun 😋

@GossiTheDog fwiw that Finnish is pretty shitty, looks machine translated to me 😄

@erikcats Happy new year to you too! 🥳

The new year reached this in-laws' corner of Europe an hour ago. I've been ready to go to sleep since eight in the evening, but here we are at one.

#happyNewYear fellow nerds and non-nerds alike! May the projects compile, paints flow, and legos align nicely through 2026 🥳

@NinjaDebugger Maybe they aren't antennas but fallback height sensors like cat's whiskers? 🐈‍⬛

@erikcats @Moah +1 for Vallejo's Grey White

@antaymonkey Great paintjobs! 🤘🏻

After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojjE

A model of a tall fortress city. Buildings are arranged in different circular levels, each smaller than the one below, like a wedding cake. All levels are crowded with lots of different buildings and towers of various sizes, giving the city a busy look. On the top level there's a palace and a tall spire. There's a huge flat rocky spur slicing the city in half. The buildings and rocks are mostly white. The model rests on a table, with some tools visible in the background.

@mrundkvist @hamatti His name was sillily bleeped in a bunch of (obviously USian) message board / forum autofilters, iirc 😄

@thomasfuchs Heh, the first could also be "YOUR OWN COM°PUTER" 😋

@68000 I just completed everything 3 weeks ago, there's got to be a bit of a cooldown 😅

I may never get used to the "gifts on 25th" after 30+ years of "Yule Goat visits on 24th"... Anyway, the beardy one brought us stuff, I got three books from the SF Masterworks series to feed my #scifi #reading habit.

* Hard to be a god
* Roadside picnic
* The shrinking man

And for other hobbies a less-gothic-fonted-than-before set of #Abteilubg502 #oilPaints for aircraft. Maybe this is a sign to give a 1:32 scale WWII plane a go 😄

Not complaining of the new style of Abteilung products 😋
