    Bit of organizing

    Spent some time with the 3d printer, now that it is functional again, and printed more of my paint wall. This finally moved the last of the paint bottles up to the wall where they are easily viewable – now I just need to sort them by color to make it a bit cleaner. However,…

  • Prepping for Cthulhu

    Prepping for Cthulhu

    I finally got motivated enough to start prepping for the next chapter of the Two-Headed Serpent campaign, collecting and printing models for the adventure. Our group returns, fresh from their challenges in Bolivia, arriving by plane to New York. There, they will discover new mysteries, and perhaps a few answers. The next batch is extensive…

  • New models

    New models

    Spent some time this last weekend catching up on some modeling, and tackled a bit of assemblies. A couple weeks ago I picked up a discount box of Star Wars Legion Range Troopers, and I had a Bolt Action M3 Grant Medium Tank that had been on pre-order for a couple of months. I recorded…

  • Warband “Sarcophagus”

    Warband “Sarcophagus”

    Working on a new design, inspired by some options I saw online, to store and transport securely warband miniatures. For me, this means my Mordheim warbands, but any skirmish scale game would function. Basically, 10 to 20 models is the intent – beyond that and any storage system becomes rather unwieldy. For me, this means…

  • Fresh Investigators

    Fresh Investigators

    With our kickoff character session today, we have a fresh set of Investigators ready for the upcoming Call of Cthulhu Pulp Cthulhu campaign. My process is simple, each player develops a concept and an AI image of their character. They then select a 3d printed miniature for their character, which I will then paint up,…

  • Dwarf Treasure Hunters for Mordheim

    Dwarf Treasure Hunters for Mordheim

    I posted my final video for the Dwarf Treasure Hunters series today, it should be live tomorrow for everyone, for the small audience that is interested. This was a mini project of 6 models, and an attempt to figure out a process for painting demonstrations. Overall, I am fairly happy with the results. The content…

  • Fixing the Anycubic Kobra 2 Max

    Fixing the Anycubic Kobra 2 Max

    Sometime last year, I acquired the large-format 3d printer from Anycubic, the Kobra 2 Max. The intent was for large prints, jobs that I couldn’t handle on my aging Prusa MK3s. With a build volume of 420x420mm, this handles about 4x the volume. The hope was further efforts with life-size droids, perhaps some cos-play helmets,…

  • The Treant

    The Treant

    With my recent focus on painting efforts, I had a bit of a break from the dwarven warband, and opted to paint up a large Treant, specifically Ohro the Tree Shepherd from The Beholder Miniatures. I am intending to use this piece for a special Mordheim scenario, king of the hill style battle. You may…
