Landspeeder
Continuing my recent painting, and opted to spend some time on the old landspeeder. Still have several figures to go on and in the vehicle, but it is nice to finally have paint on this particular model. We decided to apply a snow-theme to all the Rebel bases, so eventually this will actually be more…

Super Tactical Droid
A second model I have been working on, and recent acquisition over the holidays, is the recent Super Tactical Droid. The figure was fairly simple to assemble, being just a basic droid, and I opted to paint it in more neutral colors (rather than a special pattern of the named versions). Nothing too fancy here…

Painting again
It has been a while, but with recent gaps in gaming, I am making some more progress on the painting backlog. My son and I are tackling more of the Legion troops, myself with a mix of Rebel and CIS forces, and George working on his Clone army. First up is an unlikely pair of…

Twitch printing
Entirely new side project, I am working on a way to auto-stream 3d printing progress via Twitch. Not that there is a big audience to watch a printer run for 24 hours, but there might be some curiousity. Really, it is just an exercise to see if I can do it – I already have…

3d printer = problem solved
As part of my design for the gaming table, I have several cutouts in the surface to accommodate cables and wires for the electronics. This allows me to have a mostly seamless surface, and still have the digital table and microphones – without cables going thru the table below, or on the surface. However, when…

Gaming Table completed (mostly)
Happily, I managed to finish up the table project on time, without major issue. As pictured, the gaming area is much cleaner now with cables hidden but all the electronics functional. The surface is smooth, solid, and blends well with the rest of the decor. And with the larger size, we added an extra foot…
