Good tech

The lesson here is that abandoning your values for right wing triangulation can win you one election against a deeply unpopular party, but it also dynamites your core base and means you're equally as easy to sweep out of power by the next challenge from the right.

We are once again proving that antisemitism is the socialism of morons

#hobbystreak day 10: On to next base color on the Cataphract. He got a bit more, but that was the vibe of the figure.

Also washed the Jagermech after my green repaint yesterday. Plus more work on the Atlantean sword (but no pic as it looks the same as last night...just the opposite side)

Having some fun with basing and stone texture. Thanks @goonhammer.com for the marble recipe!

Continuing #GhostRegiment mechs with one of the new #Kurita pack figures. I love the Akuma - and no one will convince me they didn't intentionally make that chest divot the exact right size for a FPG decal.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to use an Atlas as the test model for my pirate force for #battletech but I’ve already started so lets see how it turns out!

tl;dr I no longer have a roommate lined up for when I move to Portland in July, which means that unless I find a job that pays me at least 20-25% more in the next two months I'm going to be homeless this summer

so if you know anyone hiring an edtech editor with a decade experience hit me up

Nearly finished a full company of DCMS PBI! Here’s some before-and-after: two on the right after a dusting with powdered sandy-coloured pastel, two on the left before. #battletech

Haven't done any #GhostRegiment mechs in a while, but with the new #Kurita packs hitting my desk, I've been getting back into them.
This Whitworth, I filled in a couple of missile tubes to make it the K variant

While I enjoy painting mechs in official faction colors, I also wanted ro paint mercenary force of my own. So, here are first few mechs from "assembly line" of Crimson Raptors.

Shadow Hawk from Battletech, in my merc camo
...is that your shoulder mounted Autocannon, or are you just happy to see me?

The local conversation on this stuff was hilarious because the cops threw a hissy fit over the city council telling them they could only wear the woodland camo they have for some reason if they were actually in the woods

Eyes like a mini too

Got record sheets? 👀

Love how fucked up the propotions on those heavy skitarii are. It's giving larry the lobster

Newsletter went out, alongside Dunc's commentary.

Now that I see the competition I'm honestly kinda shocked the Space Wolves diorama piece didn't take it, that must have been like a hundred hours of painting.

I mean it makes sense--she was Cuomo's LG and people forget how incredibly popular he was just for running his own press conferences as counterprogramming to Trump1 during the early months of COVID before the nursing home/sex assault stuff broke!

A lance of BattleMechs in the dark blue, with red and light blue accents, of the Ceti Hussars. Thunderbolt, Hellspawn, Thanatos, and Enforcer.

A Star of Clan Snow Raven OmniMechs from the Corvus Keshik, painted lavender and purple with dark blue accents. Nova Cat, Shadow Cat, Blood Asp, Stormcrow, and Timber Wolf.

They still need to be based and varnished, but here's the Davions and Snow Ravens I've been working on. #BattleTech

A painted miniature of a Night Gyr 'Mech. It is painted in tan and red-brown desert camo with some panels painted green. The cockpit glass is blue. The emblem of Clan Jade Falcon is on the left shoulder. The number "23" is on the right leg. The miniature is photographed on desert terrain.

This would also need more than all of the US's total production of oxygen as cryogenic fuel.

This has been cooking my brain for a week because you can just effortlessly defeat the idea with dimensional analysis. I did some napkin math and in order to just get the solar panels in orbit for that stupid 100 gw/yr figure you'd need about a starship launching every 100 minutes with 100% success
