First steps into a bigger world
3d Printer arrived, assembled, tested. A little bit of adjustments (the z-axis wasn’t aligned properly), and another print. And after several hours of watching the machine run, I have my first completed and solid model. Was a bit of a surprise that it turned out the be an elephant (the sample models were unlabeled), but…

3d Printing – a new frontier
I have decided it is about time that I dive into the 3d printing arena, and finally pick a printer up. Since Christmas, I have been hording my amazon gift certificates, originally with the plan of purchasing a widescreen high-end computer monitor, for about $600. However, that goal is rather far away, and the money…

Zombie runners

Working on more painting for the Zombicide: Black Plague set, this time with another set of 7 zombie runners. My snapshots are admittedly rather terrible, I am not sure if it was the camera or the photographer (likely the later), but hopefully you get the basic idea. I started with a primer coat of zombie…

Fortunately, they were all very basic, only a few colors, and all identical, so it didn’t take that much time to complete. I continue to struggle a bit without glasses, which…

Instead, I have been spending many hours working on an automated GURPs character sheet, in preparation for my January GURPs Warhammer campaign. Will try to work on the zombies next week,…

The next wave of Zombies
With my travel this week, I have the next set of Zombicide zombies to paint ready to go. This time, I am starting with a zombie-green base coat, which may make the process a little faster. The challenge however is that the set is 14 identical zombies. Although they will have some variety, I am…

Zombicide: Black Plague – Walkers
Finished the first set of Walkers, a set of 7 female zombies. I had posted before that I rather liked the “dirt” effect the wash applied, although it did not look all that great with a couple of color combinations. Fortunately, after a bit of dry brushing, the colors recovered quite a bit, and I…

Zombicide: Black Plague – Abomination
I finished the highlighting and cosmetics on the Abomination, and rather like the figure. I am not that happy with the pants/shorts – the suggested green ended up becoming rather muddy and really fades into the skin tone of the zombie giant himself, but the rest is nice. The highlighting and shading really makes the…
