  • The Dragon’s Crest

    Some time ago, not exactly sure when, I acquired an STL set as part of a sale from Dragon’s Rest. If I recall correctly, it was for a modular docking bay set, but came with a fully modular set for the Dragon’s Crest design starship. Since my dice tower collection is just about completed, I…

  • Release the Kraken

    The fourth, and final, tower of our first painting batch is the Kraken theme tower. Emerging from the water, the Kraken strikes, tearing down the tower itself. This one was my personal favorite, and one that I was looking forward to painting As is my typical, the stone is black with a grey highlight and…

  • Dice tower – Sorcerer

    Another of our large collection of dice towers, this one being the Sorcerer theme. Painted by my wife, who is a much more artistically oriented crafter, rather than a miniature painter. The stone and rock was painted with a layer of light grey on a grey background, various colors for the building, and a bronze…

  • Dice Tower army

    Second of our numerous dice towers, this time painted by my son. This is the GM tower, though not exactly sure of the design aspects. The tower itself is rather large, especially with the dragon’s wings. Coloration was done entirely by my son’s choice, which turned out well, though he was frustrated a bit by…

Although I have printed a great many towers, we only just started the painting process. With the assistance of the wife and my older son, we…

  • The Force is strong…

    As part of our overall move, we of course had to pack everything up, and the majority of the gaming supplies ended up in storage for quite a few months. Now that we have moved in, and most has been unpacked, I was struggling a bit with my Star Wars Armada and X-Wing collection. I…

  • Dice Towers

    Following another kickstarter (Fate’s End Dice Towers), I have a growing collection of themed dice towers in 3d printer formats, ready for printing and creation. This was more of a fun collection, rather than a truly useful or practical effort – but with kickstarter, there are lots of inexpensive projects. Each design is a set…

  • Large scale project

    Thanks to a recent Kickstarter (Hexton Hills), I have a new long term effort – attempting to recreate a version of the Pathfinder world map in 3d relief. Pictured is a set of sample tiles – each are 2 1/4 inch hexes, representing the dominant terrain of the location. With some simple painting and highlighting,…
