- It’s Friday so here’s John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey. He’s a Wargames Atlantic plastic 28mm with a metal Crusader standard bearer from North Star. Jon Hodgson Backdrop as usual. And I think I’m done with painting checks until 2027 at least 🤣 #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

- It’s been a minimal posting week as I’ve been struggling with an evil cough, but I decided to have a go a scratch building some Aleut baidarkas (kayaks). It would probably make more sense to commission these as STLs but sometimes a bit of building is therapeutic! #nerdlings #miniatures #wargaming
