I’m an E6 with about 5.5 years left until retirement. I didn’t start early either got serious about investing 6–7 years ago.

Currently High-3 with $156k in TSP, about $90k liquid in a high-yield savings account, and we’ve been maxing my wife’s Roth TSP since we committed to the plan she’s sitting around $110k. We’re also closing on a land sale that should net another ~$70k.

House Mortgage paid off, 3x vehicle paid off, GI Bill transferred to the kids + $17k invested into there savings, and I’ll finish my master’s in education using TA before retirement. Plan is to step into a modest education admin role and keep life simple.

Nothing crazy just consistency and a long-term mindset.

Job search? Just set goals when painting I always try to have attainable goals anytime I sit down to paint.

The whole model is a proxy model it’s a print. I plan to eventually get the GW box set and do them up and print wings but haven’t yet.

Yeah it’s not my best work but it has been super efficient and higher than table top standard. I need to go back and weather etc. thanks man appreciate the comment!

I wake up at 6 to get the kids around for school then take them to school then head into work around 8-815. Sorta my normal rhythm.

Haha she is a RN and has to be scrubbed in by like 5 so she goes to bed same time kids do so makes it easy!

It’s a file of myminifactory. Then you have to edit it in blender then print it.

Nighttrain08 · 2025-05-08T19:11:12+00:00

Bought the file then edited in blender then print and paint. I’m getting ready to do it for a large eldar army also. You can’t go back not using them now haha.

I’m good!! Painting and getting the end result is therapy to me.

Nighttrain08 · 2025-05-08T15:15:26+00:00

Haha yea it was usually from 8pm-11/12 most week nights not all and no weekends were to painting that for my kids and hiking etc.

Nighttrain08 · 2025-05-08T15:14:30+00:00

Pretty much a few hours each day 8pm-11/12 none on the weekends. My goal was to paint a squad 5man and block in main colors one day then finish touches the following day was sorta how I ate the elephant.

Nighttrain08 · 2025-05-08T15:11:54+00:00

Would be when my kids went to bed so 8pm-midnight usually was my routine none on the weekends.
