Last week, on Christmas Eve, I made a comment about any readers that day didn’t have a life.

Of course this was an attempt to be humorous, because it the vast majority of you are over a certain age and are ensconced this winter at home, with families and coffee makers immediately available.

And other than spending his limited free time researching the next 3D army to print, the last one being Khitan Lao, which he printed and painted before his latest deployment, but has yet to see the table, my weekly missives has been something he looks forward to.
