  • Revisiting the Trophy

    Several months ago, I posted about my project to craft and create a trophy for our annual Magic the Gathering tournament.  I managed to revisit this project this week, while I was spending time for work in Toledo.  Didn’t end up having as much time as I had hoped (we had a big outage to…

  • Painting Aid

    Spent some time working with the 3d Printer, and building some tools for hopefully helping with the miniature painting.  In this case, it is a handle system, which should make it easier to hold unpainted figures, maneuver them around for better angles, and still be easy to swap out for bulk painting of several figures. …

  • True-Tiles practical application

    With a painted and otherwise complete set of True-Tiles in hand, we had our next session of Pathfinder on Sunday, reaching the climax of Chapter 4 of the Rise of the Runelords.  Unfortunately, I discovered I had not actually printed a large enough set, I still had several more to do before having enough to…

  • 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…

  • True-Tiles Batch 1 painting

    Managed to take time to paint up the first set of True-Tiles, consisting of 10 doors, 4 flat tiles, 5 single wall tiles and 5 corner tiles.  Total time, about 4 hours.

  • Zombicide delay

    Skipping my bi-weekly routine of painting zombies, quite simply because I have been unable to properly prime a new set of walkers.  The weather has been very cold, but more importantly either wet or snowy, or both, and I have no inside spot to use spray paint.  As such, I have to a wait for…

  • Zombie horde expands

    So I finished the latest set of zombie runners last night, as I continue to work my way thru the Zombicide: Black Plague set.  Which is good, since over Christmas, I added the Wulfsburg expansion, so I have many Zombie dogs nipping at my heels to be painted as well. From here, the next big…

  • 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…
