WLO-5 Repulsor Tank and Imperial Probe Droids
Recent releases for Star Wars Legion got me motivated to paint a large model, and a newly acquired set of Army Painter Speed Paints gave me the tools. Admittedly, most of the tank is Army Paint Air colors, but plenty of speedpaints were used in the details. The crew was done in Citadel Contrast Paints,…

New paint rack
I have been working on a re-design of my painting station, trying to put most of the various pieces up on the wall (using designs by Multiboard). As part of this, I realized that my existing paint racks where rather over-sized. They worked well to store paints, but the angle and size meant that there…

Apothecary Paint Storage
I am quite happy to say that my design for what I am calling my Apothecary Paint Storage option is finally finished, after a couple of months of design, test cuts and revisions.

Printing variety
Had a number of recent projects this week that have been working the printer quite a bit. Not only am I working on my first printing and painting video, but I have been collecting a number of time lapse videos for other projects. The wife also tasked me with me with making a Boy Scout…

True-Tiles – painting strategy
I continue to produce the True-Tiles terrain, and although I have changed directions on the base pieces, the top pieces are just fine. However, after my first batch, I realized that using Army Painter paints for the painting of this amount was not very cost effective – I nearly emptied my Dark Wash bottle, and…
