too* lol

Apollo Geist @apollogeist.bsky.social · 4h

people usually use unwanted tcgs for this sort of thing (which is a great option too) but if you keep an eye out you'll find really nice sources for tokens elsewhere too

Apollo Geist @apollogeist.bsky.social · 4h

if you think these are too specific to ever use for a game you'd be surprised. always nice when your players do something unexpected and you have a token that Kinda Sorta looks like an npc you never thought you'd need for an encounter

before i ever toss out excess packaging to blurays/video games/etc i always take a quick look to see if i can repurpose some of the nice art as tokens for d&d/ttrpgs. since they're from industrial-grade printers the quality is always nicer tok. try it!

Apollo Geist @apollogeist.bsky.social · 3d

3d printing's low accessibility, GW's relatively consistent quality compared to 3d modelers who have wildly different standards/tastes, and likely also that the entire ritual of buying a GW kit, unboxing it, and snipping it off the runner is simply more satisfying than cleaning up resin/FDM models

frankly incredible. games work chop is in shambles they didn't do this first

Apollo Geist @apollogeist.bsky.social · 10d

i used it with some contrast paint for added transparency but i'm wondering if that had something to do with it. "for best results use with our brand of paint" is pretty standard marketing verbiage and i can't imagine it really makes that much a difference with this medium... right? lol

Apollo Geist @apollogeist.bsky.social · 10d

hmm i tried newsh on these minis after all the hubbub i heard and ngl i'm pretty underwhelmed. paint did not remove easily from the minis at all and there was a lot more staining than i expected. might as well have just used a regular wash. anyone else had issues with it?

Here's the full art for the front. I think I'd love to do more takes on different box art styles. Maybe I could even convince someone to make it a real model.

This here’s The Still Runnin’ — Pancho and Lefty’s rig, hammered together from Pappy’s old Ford Model A and stuffed with a copper still in the back. She may be all rust and bad welds, but when that engine roars she’ll outrun any revenuer fool enough to give chase.

#diecast #gaslands #minipainting

The left side of the Still Runnin'. There's a coiled copper tube connecting the still to the engine. The copper still sits on a rough built truck bed.

The right side of the Still Runnin' shows the exhaust pipe and soot on the door.

The front 9th the Still Runnin' shows Lefty driving at breakneck speeds while firing his Colt revolver at pursuers. Pancho is taking a deep pull of moonshine and keeps his shotgun at ready.

The precious cargo of the Still Runnin' is the copper still in the truck bed

I love to stand in the shower with my hands against the wall and my head bowed, water running down the elaborate back tattoo that hints at the torment within

SD Twin Peaks figures made for an issue of Hobby Japan (issue unknown, but safe to say early 90s). Not my scan, so I gotta track down this issue.

super deformed figurines of the cast of Twin Peaks.

Been having fun with markers again on my recent Digimon portraits. Here are some (really) old marker work from around 2016 to 2017.
