and the British Royal Family in 1946

Here she is meeting Queen Victoria!

Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands having a chat with [then Princess] Elizabeth of the UK. That's the raw hand sculpt from Alan Marsh, shes going to be cast into metal very soon. Backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social

More Bet appreciation.

This is my favourite pic of Bet van Beeren. As the owner of a gay friendly bar in occupied Amsterdam, she provided a safe haven for the persecuted. And god forbid you get on her wrong side, what a lady. (and you'd have to suck to be on her wrong side)

LESBIANS?! IN WW2?! Fighting Fascism?! LETSGOOOO! Exclusive peep at some sculpts, still a bit of tweaking left but couldn't wait to show. Bet van Beeren and Frieda Belinfante, two of the coolest ladies ever. Sculpted by Alan Marsh, coming soon from usssss

Caught up with the En Garde bois. Got some amazing Paul Hicks sculpts!

And he made a friend

ERMAGHERD go watch @roguehobbies.bsky.social latest video, its amazing archeology crossover with wargames, really enjoyed it. And met the little guys.

Look who I met yesterday! Its only Alex from @forgeofice.bsky.social !

I'm off early, there's a huge fire near the office (NOT DANGEROUSLY NEAR) & a bunch of roads closed. Also I breathed in way too much of it. I don't think the postie vans will be collecting with all the closures. Everything due to ship today will be tomorrow!

it's true, I had to make my own 😅

Oude Kerk in Oosterbeek. It was involved in the battle of Arnhem and lay between the escape via the Rhine and the Hartenstein Hotel, which was being used as an allied HQ. Next door, Kate ter Horst set up an impromptu hospital for the sick and wounded in her home, the old rectory. more in alt

🐓NEW: HANS COCKMAN 🐓 After an eternity alone, Turkey Man pleaded for a companion, one like him. Now that he has this friend, he longs for the days he could watch the football in peace, without mouth sounds and sighs punctuating the commentary. badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/Hans-...

Who's this dapper fella? He's one of our Dutch Resistance miniatures from the upcoming project, and I've been to his house!

No Instantprint, it is YOU. We stopped giving you our art to print when you started using AI slop, it'll doesn't put much faith in artists, ie, your clients.

Wait, this isn't Cornwall! Joyce has to pause her stroll as she notices strange things afoot. Like that rock appears to be hissing? Mini by us, - sculpted by Shane Hoyle and painted by John Morris, terrain by Fenris, painted by meeeeee - Annie. Backdrop is the A4 Warm Climes from Jon Hodgson.

I'm outta here! I'm away for the longest time since setting up Bad Squiddo, mix of research and mix of chilling. Off to Belgium & Netherlands. You can still be buying things (please do!) and I'll be back!

Here's the latest photo I've taken with the backdrops, mini by us, terrain by @fenrisgames.com , tentacle by @somnderian.bsky.social , backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social ! Vines from... somewhere! Get way more fun out of your minis even once they're painted! www.kickstarter.com/projects/han...

Just a couple hours left to pick up one (or two, three or FOUR) of the new photo backdrop books by Jon Hodgson of @handiworkgames.bsky.social . Here you can see me looking super happy mid Turkey Man photoshoot! It supports cool artists & makes your pics better! www.kickstarter.com/projects/han...

Look at these fine folk, definite non dodgy backdrop dealers @handiworkgames.bsky.social

Lots of AI today, but lots of these signs too, thanks @gshowitt.bsky.social for letting us nick some, and Hinokodo for making them ❤️🫡

Lil peegs on an adventure. Van is a Matchbox one I converted with Squiddo peegs and some other bits for gaslands. Background is from the brand new @handiworkgames.bsky.social backdrop KS (live right now you say?)

I use a lot of wide formats when promoting the Kickstarters as it's to show off the backdrop art, but quite often I like a close crop, like these! Mini by us, backdrops from the current @handiworkgames.bsky.social KS
