A nice big Fishmech Kaluga resin 3D printed mini modeled by @pipermakes.bsky.social. I opted for more arms, more weapons! 6" (15cm) tall. This is going to be part of my DAO Union force for Grimdark Future! #miniaturepainting #mech #miniwargaming #grimdarkfuture

Fishmech Corydora Strike Team models by @pipermakes.bsky.social, posed in Blender, printed in resin printed. I feel good about the color transitions and highlights on these, and I may add a few more contrast details later. #miniaturepainting #3dprinting #miniwargaming

Shhh! This stealth suit model by @pipermakes.bsky.social is sneaking. 3D model parts posed in Blender and printed as one piece. I didn't prime it so it retained some translucency from the resin. #miniaturepainting #miniwargaming #grimdarkfuture #stealthsuit

Shhh. Resin printed stealth suit battle armor model.

After 2 months of squeezing a little time here and there, I finished my first cabinet. The design is based on a sunrise and reflections, in walnut, ash, and cherry. It's covered in mistakes, and I love every lesson I learned from them (no injuries 😅). #woodworking #garageshop #furnituredesign

Continuing a series of NPC mini portraits for my Daggerheart campaign. Making quick frame shapes and then placing the character within it has been a lot of fun and helpful. I'm also making good use of some @trueref.bsky.social photos. #daggerheart #illustration #npc
