    Maskin’ Tape

    Maybe I’m just too big a fan of the process, but I think the masking tape looks pretty nice. I’m still deciding if I want it to remain but for now I’m happy with the effect!

    Killteam Board Terrain Build

    Concrete I got an idea to make realistic looking concrete slabs out of cardboard. Applying some aging hardware store plaster with a painter’s knife, resulted in this rough casted looking surface that after a quick blast of black spraypaint drybrushed beautifully. I sealed the cardboard with three layers of diluted wood glue before adding the…

    Punished Nob WIP Gallery

    BIONIKS Just a small post about my latest ork nob, I still have a couple of details to finish on the face, but I can’t restrain myself from posting this one any longer. 😃 It’s a mix of parts from the Flash Gitz, Killa Kan, and Ork Nobz boxes. This was initially going to be…

    Flash Gitz WIP

    Flash git 1/5 This kit is really fun, but I am not psyched about covering up half the detailed model with that big gun. 😐 Then again I suppose that is half the point of the snazzgunz. 😬 This one reminds me of a bulldog. I actually find it a bit cute. I sculpted a…

    My First Conversions

    I bought the Killa Kanz kit! The box art has them standing there all stoically, but when I see these chainsaw wielding murderbots I just imagine them booking it straight for me. 😬 I thought it would be a fun idea to build them up and put them in some dynamic poses just to see…

  • I blame YouTube

    I blame YouTube

    In a previous post I mentioned my YT recommendations turning into a non stop Warhammer feed. It looked fun, so I bought one small model to try it out for myself. I chose Orks, the Mad Maxy, fun loving faction of kitbashing and convertions. They seemed like a fun and forgiving beginner faction where everything…

  • Airbrush time

    Airbrush time

    A new tool and some ramblings about compressors. 😃 I bought a cheap hardware store airbrush back in 2015 and treated it like an animal. Actually, my dog treats her toys better than I did this airbrush. I ran it off a garage compressor without a moisture trap, ran it with improperly thinned paint, no…

    A Renewed Interest

    I’ve been playing the X-Wing Miniatures game off and on since the summer of 2013. I got to try the game out at a local anime convention and fell for it head over heels. I’ve been a big Star Wars nerd ever since I was a kid growing up with the prequels. The game had…

  • Travel pens!

    Travel pens!

    In order from left to right : These are the pens I’m using for now. The Sailor is replacing two pitt art markers from FC I was using previously, and the Lamy gives me consistent skinny lines. If I choose to get into water colours later, the R&K ink I’m using is already waterproof. 😃

  • Pens, Pens, Pens…

    Pens, Pens, Pens…

    I recently bought a fountain pen to try something new. It’s remarkable how fast the YouTube algorithm starts filling your feed with recommended videos once you’ve made that first search. We’re talking Pen reviews, nib size comparisons, a thousand different inks, and a NEVER ENDING flood of Lamy Safari and AL-Star colourways. 😦 I quickly…
