Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Making good progress on my Nurgle army for TOW. The new Chaos Warrior plastics are fantastic. 121
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Chaos spawn of Nurgle for TOW. Printed on my Bambu A1. All his nicknames are unsuitable for mixed company. 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 14/06/2026First HQ + squad done for my 5th ed Dark Eldar, happy how these are coming along. Need to keep the gas pedal all the way down on geting this army done as a Cathay army is in my future for TOW. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 26/05/2026My son built and painted a rocket for Scouts this week and friends, he fucking nailed it. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 13/05/2026From the "you don't really need a resin printer for miniatures anymore" files, a Dark Eldar Raider printed in PLA on a Bambu A1. Not an easy thing to make in FDM but you can do just about anything in FDM nowadays if you know the tricks. 030
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Needed a trukk for my Orks, went looking for free STLs, was very happy with result Still kinda shocked at what you can do with a decent FDM printer and free STLs 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 27/04/2026A group of wily heroes, all set to save the town of Phandalin and solve the mystery of the wave echo cave. Mostly 3d printed in PLA on my Bambu A1, painted by yours truly. 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 21/04/2026D&D miniatures for my group (mostly my kids and kids of friends and neighbours), printed up on my Bambu A1. Except for the gnome's hat, which I sculpted in green stuff, because that's what was asked for, and I aim to oblige. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Going to run a D&D game for my kids and some of our friends' kids, and they want to use miniatures, so I'm going all out. Some of it will be done with tabletop game terrain but for the dungeon bits I'm repurposing an old smart TV that's otherwise gathering dust. Pretty excited with how this looks. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Ottawa Charge vs Montreal and holy smokes you'd think you were at an NHL game. Ottawa is here for this. 063
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 29/03/2026I love 3d printing but it's very satisfying to build terrain the old fashioned way. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 15/03/2026This is Meta's employee growth over time. Around 2019-20 these companies all started hiring like crazy (due to CEO groupthink) and now they're all dialing it back (due to CEO groupthink). They talk about AI to make it look like a strategy and not foolishness, but this was always going to happen. 120
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Sledge dieselpunk mech from Of Oil and Iron, printed on a Bambu A1. 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Little over 3k of heresy era Mechanicum in epic scale. Need to take better pictures but it's nice to have the whole thing done and lined up. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Getting in a Saturday afternoon match of the beautiful game, Norse vs Chaos Dwarfs. Tied at 1 at the half. 100
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 29/01/2026"Gemini can do more for you in sheets" Can it fuck right off into the sun? Can you do that for me, Gemini? 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Helping the boy hang his freshly finished model of the Enterprise from the ceiling, because some things are eternal 040
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Praetorian Breacher, 8th Chapter, XIII Legion (Horus Heresy scale); and a whole mess of epic scale ones. 021
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 05/01/2026My son made gingerbread men cookies and I relate to the various emotional states on display 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 20/12/2025I convinced my Bambu that it's a resin printer Big "my cat thinks it's a dog" energy 020
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 14/12/2025I've played a fair bit of NetEA but yesterday was my first game with Heresy era lists, introducing a friend to the game. Had a blast. I've been pushing on getting stuff painted for it so I've gotten to the point where I have a decent little force of the best Legion ready to go. 030
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Dwarf Ironclad for Man o War, the Grobkarin. Played this for the first time in like 30 years with my son. This and Warhammer Fantasy got me into this hobby. 040
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 11/11/2025The whole warband. Really happy with how these guys came together - Frostgrave has fantastic plastic kits from Northstar but it's so much fun to come up with a crazy idea and lean into it for your warband. 020
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 11/11/2025My Frostgrave rat warband needed an Infantryman so I quickly kitbashed something that I'm pretty pleased with. 020
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Space Marines! Getting as much rattle can spraying done as I can on what may be the last warm weekend for a while. These are the boy's epic scale Salamanders. Not pictured, my epic scale Lamenters. 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Today's moment of "I still can't believe what mid-range filament printers can produce nowadays", a Furioso box dread in Epic (6mm) scale. That's a Canadian nickel he's standing on. Printed on my Bambu A1, 0.2mm jot end, eSun PLA+ filament. 120
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Trying out eSun PLA+ filament on my Bambu A1 and wow, it's kind of amazing to me how good filament printers are nowadays. 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Fresh off the painting table. Did you know that in 1940 the French had honest to god fully tracked APCs? They looked goofy as shit but they worked. Printed on my Bambu A1 in 1/56 for Bolt Action. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 07/09/2025On the workbench this morning, a French AMC P16 half track. These were produced right after WW1 (the roller on the front is to allow it to cross wider trenches) and was very obsolete by 1940. The French cav units were all initially equipped with these before real tanks were available. 100
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Did up a little 1/56 French 75 as a terrain piece for my France 1940 table. This has the ww1 spoked wheels and I don't really have room for it in my org chart but I think it'll add some nice atmosphere as terrain. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Nfeyma's STL, printed on a Bambu A1, 0.2mm hot end, highest quality settings. Honestly this is absolutely as good as a resin print. Such a fantastic model and it came out perfectly. 010
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 05/07/2025DAK SiG 33 on Pzkfw 2 Bison. Crew are Bolt Action plastics, vehicle was printed on my new Bambu A1, 0.2mm hot end, highest quality settings, in basic PLA. Super happy with what that machine can do. 000
Barry Beldam @bbeldam.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Bolt Action in the desert. Playing Breakout from the v3 rulebook. DAK were in the lead all game but the Brits pulled out a tie in the final turn. 110
