@Ec1aireur I picked a shade for basing, then had it scanned at B&Q & colour matched for the Valspar paint range. My brown matches (almost!) the old GW graveyard earth colour. Then I dry brush 3 tones from the Foundry 'Sand' shade, A,B,C tones. That way my figure bases match my terrain

It took a bit longer than we hoped for boring and complicated reasons, but the Lead Adventure Forum migration to the new server is complete! https://t.co/GFTyJNxPHO #wargaming

The stand is set up and ready for tomorrow at the Hammerhead Show in Newark. We are in the far left corner as you come through the door, so head that way for the sweet aroma of laser cut MDF and see Martin and Glenn who will be on the stand all day!

Be careful with people who have HIGH FUNCTIONING DEPRESSION.

Let's go through this together 👇👇

1. They get up, get dressed, go to work, and cry in silence when nobody’s watching.

2. They check on everybody else, but don’t feel safe asking for help themselves.

3. Their smile is practiced, their “I’m fine” is automatic, their breakdowns are private.

4. They appear to be okay, give solid advice, and hold everybody down, but when the world gets quiet, their thoughts get loud.

5. You think they’re okay because they’re productive, but they only stay busy to avoid feeling anything.

6. High functioning depression doesn’t look like laziness, it looks like overworking, overthinking, and never resting.

7. They keep it together in public, but fall apart in the shower, in traffic, or right before bed.

8. Just because they don’t say “I’m struggling” doesn’t mean they’re not drowning inside.

9. They apologize for being “too much” when they’ve really just been holding too much in.

10. They make everyone feel better, but go home feeling empty.

So when someone says “check on your strong friends,” Do it. Because the ones who always say “I got it” are usually the ones who don’t. They suffer in silence. They laugh through pain. And they master how to function when they’re barely holding on.

The algorithms are making it a lot harder to spread the word about these online talks. Although numbers are still reasonable, it would be a great help if folk were able to give the 30 December event a quick share 🙂

@TooFatLardies Thanks for that idea!! Love the Last valley trees, but hate the way they shed everywhere, even after sealing with hair spray. Definitely trying this!
