  • A bit short for a stormtrooper

    A second Father’s Day acquisition, the family supplied me with the Princess Leia mini for Star Wars: Legion. This is good, since the collection has been heavily favoring the Empire recently and the Rebels really needed some reinforcements. Leia is of course a welcome addition, though admittedly the model is not the best. The face…

  • MtG Trophy update

    Finally managed to get the trophy for this year’s Magic: The Gathering tournament to print properly. Previously, I had broken the model into 4 separate pieces, in order to minimize the printing challenge. Although it printed well, this also meant there were several very noticeable seams in the final assembly. This year, with some more…

As before, I am 3d-printing the trophy, the model for which gave me some challenges this year. Previously, I had broken the model into 4 pieces, which I then assembled into a solid piece at the end. This year, due to…

  • Pathfinder – Kingmaker update

    With our most recent session, the group continued their exploration of the Kamelands, and managed a bit of success. We first concluded the battle against the bandit camp – unfortunately the Sorcerer was lost when the group was unable to stop his slaying after the group as a whole decided against surrendering. However, that provided…
