Made a little more progress on #Tanksgiving. Most of the colors from my card have now made it onto the model as base coats. Likely a session or two more of base coating, then it's time for refining and detailing. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Today is spa day for Red Sonja, the Lesbaru. She got a new windshield this morning. Now I'm waiting on her oil change and tire rotation. #DailyLife #ChaotocQueer #GeekCrafts

Happily, I've been playing and running a lot of in person games lately. Sadly, all of our #TTRPG sites have steep stairs. As much as I love physical books; I'm not a kid anymore. So, I dug my ancient Surface Pro out and reincarnated it to be a game book reader. #GenX #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Printed some fun drawstring beads for one of my hoodies. Reminder, if you put drawstring beads on a hoodie... remove them before washing the hoodie. 3D printed or not, they or the hoodie could be ruined if you leave them on. #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

A lot of my friends play #MtG, so I got a Dr. Who deck to play with them. It's been 25 yrs since I last played & I need to relearn the game. I'm not buying boosters as I don't mind losing & gambling is bad mmmkay. I just might be #3DPrinting some sick AF accessories tho. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I now have fully matching #MtG accessories, using my existing filament selection. The only money spent was on the one deck. The up front cost on #3DPrinting has made most of my other hobbies so much cheaper. It has already paid for itself. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Here's the deck box I printed last night while I slept. If I'm gonna lose games, may as well look good while doing it. A surprise guest thinks he can damage the TARDIS. #DrWho #MtG #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Collaged photos of a TARDIS themed deck box. Top one is of it unassembled. Bottom one is of it fully assembled with a Rogal Dorn Battle Tank rolling up behind it.

Printed a MTG counter that's teeny enough to work as a #Warhammer40K vehicle wound counter. #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I took some time on my work break to finish building my #Tanksgiving entry. There was a tie across all my socials between the orangey & white blue cards. Nobody liked the lime green card. I did a random pick between the two & got white blue. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I made more progress on the #Tanksgiving build last night. There was an accidental spill of some glue on the top part. This makes it so that the cannon doesn't move up and down. It doesn't impact game play, thus only a little annoying. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

While on my work break I picked thru the #DeckOfManyColors to decide on a scheme for my #Tanksgiving entry. I use a lot of true blues & purples in my #MiniaturePainting & I want a change. I also didn't want basic army colors. Which one do you guys like best? #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Photo of three cards on a stand behind a deck box. Card 1 is a largely orange and brown scheme, card 2 is a largely icey grey blue scheme, card e is a largely bright green scheme.

She has feet! Once fully assembled, I think I'll bust out the Deck of Many Colors for this project. It'll set the tone for all of my Guardsmen, including my Ratlings Kill Team. No need to stick to canon colors. #Tanksgiving #Warhammer40K #MimiaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

May have overdone it today. Finished laundry, dropped off our ballots, checked this bad boy in for #Tanksgiving, filled up one of the cars (ouch), and grocery shopped. Still not fully done being sick. Tired plague rat is tired. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Utah law allows you to drop off the ballots of anyone in your household. All three of us voted and I dropped off the ballots today. #VoteDamnit #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Added a couple stickers Sonja. One is in response to all the Mormon Assault Vehicles with stick figure families on the back. (Stop putting your kids' names on your cars, people.) The ones not on the window are magnets. Some came from my old car. #DailyLife #NerdyHumor #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Photo of the back of a burgundy Subaru Forester with multiple window stickers and magnets on the back. A TIE fighter shooting at a running stick figure family with words "The Empire doesn't care about your stick figure family." A compass with the words "Not all those who wander are lost." A simple white rectangle with the words "tell your dog i said hi". A white rectangle with a demon stirring a cup of coffee with the words "I like my coffee how I like my magic." A yellow and blue geometric shape with a blue TARDIS and the words "My other ride is a TARDIS." A white diamond with the words "Ea-Nasir Fine Copper." There is also a black license surround with Deadpool logos and the words in red "My common sense is tingling."

I finished building the last of my Genestealers. The Rogal Dorn Battle Tank is being saved to submit for this year's #Tanksgiving event. I think I've only got 2 months of #CombatPatrol left. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Getting caught up on building the sprues from my Combat Patrol magazines. I'm too sick to do much other than spend time at the hobby desk. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I've been on the road for 2 weeks & 4,000 miles. I'm home now. I saw lots of family/friends around the US & had a geeky side quest for Lake Geneva's Dragon Days. I came home with Wisconsin exclusive #DnD stuff, beer, & cheese. Bonus souvenir, an awful head cold. #RoadTrip #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

You know you aren't in Utah when hotel room service screws up on drink cup sizes and their response is to give you an extra beer. 😜 #Humor #RoadTrip #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
