After spilling my second bottle in a week, I 3d printed a neat little stand with an extra wide base. It’s been a lifesaver.
A 3d printed holder for two bottles of Taniya’s extra thin cement. It has a wide base for support and to prevent spilling.

Finished just under the wire - got a model done in time to celebrate Orctober!

He was a blast to paint, but was also a reminder that resin models are a pain. They’re just too fragile (hence the monkey’s little capped arm).
An Orcish sea captain stands atop a treasure chest. His yellow coat and matching hat distinguish him from the other captains sailing there thirteen seas. He has a single peg leg, which requires his use of a battle crutch - part battle axe, part crutch. He has a pet monkey on his shoulder, Amos Banana. A faithful companion who also suffered a grievous injury, resulting in the loss of his hand. Brothers on the waves, these two sea dogs went straight this past year, and are excited to see what a life of honest sailing can bring. An Orcish sea captain stands atop a treasure chest.

I’m freaking out a bit - my favorite Warhammer faction is getting their first novel by my favorite sci-fi author.

I couldn’t have joined the hobby at a better time 🥹

A beautiful breakdown of the stylistic approaches to printing minis 🥹
pantmonger.bsky.social Pantmonger @pantmonger.bsky.social · 13d
Miniatures and models: Simulation, Mimicry or Abstraction or a combination of the 3.
When you paint miniatures/terrain you are making decisions as to style even if you are not aware of them. These 3 techniques are IMO the most common. Gonna Waffle.

9 of the same model painted with different techniques and styles.

When doing gunpla, how do you decide when you’re done cleaning mold lines? I feel like I either under- or over-scrape them 90% of the time.

You’re not alone. Sprained my thumb once while changing a diaper, and threw my back out “drinking milk too hard,” as my daughter will tell anyone who will listen 🫠

Inspired by the models I got for my birthday, I knew that I need to get through some of my painting backlog. So I got back to work on these lizard guys!

But then, I get a call from a friend. At 10:30pm! To check the mail.

And now my backlog is even bigger 😂

I can’t wait to get this one painted!
In the foreground is the test painting of the weapons and armor these warriors are going to end up with: ice-inspired / frosted blue. In the background, 10 Saurus warriors with royal blue weapons, deeply unfinished, that will eventually match the test models in front. An unopened Devilfish model, gifted for my birthday. Add it to the backlog!

A Branchwych from the Sylvaneth Agr of Sigmar Spearheas box. Assembled in a single sitting before work. Lookin’ creepy!

Opened my birthday presents a bit early - and my wife and kids clearly love me - and spooky haunted forests. 🪾
A picture of a Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Sylvaneth starter box, which looks like the denizens of a spooky haunted forest, as well as a Warhammer: Ogroid Thaumaturge, who frankly looks like a Minotaur.

Unfortunately, it is not at all a happy resolution. While he didn't shoot the bear, he did force someone else to (because the bear was mortally injured during its capture). He didn't care about the bear at all, he was just thinking about his reputation.

Had my first marathon airbrushing session last night (~2 hours) base-coating a squad of Dino Dudes.

While I had to go back and forth a bunch to get the patterning right, I'm super pleased with how it turned out!

A spear-wielding Saurus warrior. It has dark-blue scales providing armor to its back, arms, and legs and a brighter blue underside. Thematically, it is a Seraphon warrior in a mountainous region of ice and snow. Its battle against Chaos continues to the edges of the Mortal Realms. A spear-wielding Saurus warrior.

They are all wielding spears and also taking a nap.

I’m a grown man. I can deadlift 300lbs. I can give my wife a piggy back ride for 3 blocks without breaking a sweat. I’m the guy you call when you need to move your furniture.

And yet.

I hurt my hand airbrushing little dinosaurs too much. Defeated by high quality German engineering and plastic.🥺 👨‍🎨

Went to my first mini painting competition tonight. It was a speed-paint (2 hours) comp where you get a random mini and 6 random paints.

I got a great palate, and I won first place! I also walked away with my first hob, which is a win on its own.

A Warhammer Old World goblin/hobgoblin(?). It is wearing a yellow tunic and a red, gnome-adjacent hat. It is next to a token indicating "first place" in a local painting competition.

The same thing happened to me last night while painting a Tau Pathfinder. I knocked their head off like four times before I finally pinned it. 🫠

Been quietly hobbying through my anxiety these last weeks. I’m currently working on my very first Warhammer army. Not completely set on a recipe nor the finer details yet, but I’m loving the scheme in general.

#tau #miniatures #miniaturepainting
Pictured are three Tau Fire Caste warriors. They are wearing bright yellow armor over light blue shirts and royal blue pants. Two appear vigilant, prepared for battle. The middle warrior, though, just got a call about her car’s extended warranty. She has no idea what a car is, but it seems important.
