Happy Thanksgiving y’all! I always take time today to be thankful for friends and family, and being so blessed to be part of this great hobby community!

I’m also thankful for YOU ALL, for being here to share it with me as well!

So this years big question is what projects were you working on last year around this time, and what are you working on now?

I was working some vehicles for the Space Marine Super Friends list last year, and had just gotten in (or bought) the castellum stronghold tiles from Forge World to use as my army base.

This year, I’ll be trying to work in some of my own personal stuff like Chaos Rapiers in time to use with some other stuff I have access too to form up my Chaos army.

Wyvern- Not to bad for my first commission?

I think my next project for commission work will be a mighty Warhound Titan, and some assembly stuff for Kenny @ Next Level Painting.

What are were you working on last year on break, and now? -MBG
