Stumbling awkardly into 2021...

 Hobby has been slow in 2021.  Most of my time has been spent working behind the scenes on the dungeon crawl rules - a lot of photoshop, and lots o' typing.  Sadly that removes time spent on actual hobbying.

Over the past two days though I've managed to start clearing out some projects that have been sitting on my work desk

Some older trees that have been sitting around in a garage for 20 years since I first hot-glued them to some balsa wood stands around college.  Now updated to match the basing of my other trees - and something that's not cluttering up my hobby space!
 
On a complete whim I ordered a replacement set of metallic paints.  I've had the same line of Vallejo metallics for about ten years - some good, some bad, etc.  Heard great things about these, figured I'd just swap them out - prepare myself for the next ten years or so...
 
Build up three Churchill tanks from PSC yesterday - planned on at least priming them today.

Then got carried away and finished them (better pics later!)
 
The Soviet armour/vehicle depot is expanding beyond my storage capacity (basic infantry are in another bin entirely!)
 
So, some very slow progress.  I have also ordered a seventh iteration of test cards for the dungeon crawl, and will be attending CoastalCon in Beaufort, SC this upcoming weekend.  It sounds like it may be a pretty small shindig this year though.  It's being held at a local church in place of a hotel, etc.

Really happy with the Churchills from Plastic Soldier Company.  Nice kit, loads of options for variants (can only use two of the five though for Lend Lease).  Really pleasing kit to build and paint.  I just ham-fisted my way through the tanks and I'm happy with the result.
