Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 14h"Hey, shut up for a second! Did you hear something?" Citadel ADD04 Thieves from when GW briefly held the license to produce AD&D miniatures for TSR. They are likely to be eaten. 2353
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 14hHonestly, this is the reason I *don't* stream. I've had friends ask me to stream both 3D work and painting (and besides not really being set up to stream painting), I refuse because I need to focus on the work... otherwise it feels like I'm just wasting time and chatting. 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Finally finished two other Citadel ADD69 Githyanki to go with the other. The one on the left was painted in 2004 (and rebased in 2025), the other two fully painted in October 2026. 😬 Not sure if I've actually got any better at NMM. 2565
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 03/10/2026They are yet to be painted (and are missing the fifth conversion) but they count! 1295
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Wait, wait, wait... it just occurs to me: isn't one of the Plague Toad shades really close to the (very) old school Bilious Green? 110
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'd love to be able to get a minis-eye view of the tabletop. I remember seeing a little periscope made with mirrors in a Hobby Japan years ago, and even built one, but it was always a little clunky to use. How cheap are tiny little cameras these days? I want to see what the tank sees! 030
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You can just imagine the NFS folks are patting themselves on the back, thinking they sell THE most popular and desired freezer spacers ever made and it's literally three studios in LA buying pallets of them. 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Red Dragon was based on the same story as Manhunter, so maybe they just wanted to keep it all Hopkins Lector. 110
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 26/09/2026We've seen this type of thing before tho. "Slapchop" - painter who's never heard of underpainting before. "Blobtest" - painter who's never heard of self leveling before. I wonder what the next "new marvel" will be. 😆 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 17/09/2026"Mandiblaster." "Maybe baby." "Mandiblaster." "Maybe baby." "Cellar door." "Mandiblaster." 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Also, when I do paint minis with puddle bases, I put them on plastic bases first and then hide the join with putty/basing goop/etc, so the process is pretty much exactly the same. 100
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I base figures fully before priming, treating everything as just part of the figure to paint. All my bases get magnets to go in my cases, and I have dozens of short square wood 2x2s with metal discs stuck on. I do this for large figs and even terrain (tho terrain is taped on, not magnets) 110
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 12/09/2026They look amazing! Do they shed at all? That seems like a lot of static grass. 110
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Tell me about it, heh. When I first decided to start this business, I kept thinking, "I should have done this years ago" with endless excitement but I see the state of the world & its economy and now I'm asking, "Was this a bad idea after all?" lol tbf I'm pretty crap at advertising tho 020
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Huh! That's weird, I personally really dislike puddle bases and prefer slotta (and often put them on hex bases, so double niche whammy). I wonder if the preference has to do with when our respective nostalgia periods were, or maybe the time frame when we started getting into gaming? 111
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Give the marine a very long neck and stick the helmet on top, then paint it like a giraffe and see if the client notices (and if they do notice, they will *thank you* for it, I'm mostly pretty sure) 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Using the assassin statue head for the front is a stroke of genius. 110
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 10/08/2026While I'm waist deep in the process of moving, why not enjoy this Warhammer 40K Ork riding a cow? 113520
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Right now my Rogue Trader Space Marine army consists of only three painted marines. Two more to complete the squad have been on painting blocks for an embarassingly long time. 😬 😅 0243
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Thank you! 😍 I'll have your order packed up tonight and in the mail tomorrow, btw. 110

Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Looks like they're trying to trick people into thinking it's part of the Peter Jackson movies. 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Citadel C29 Plague Elemental. Just a little something while I'm busy working on something else I'll be sharing soon! 😁 1443
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Hm, the longevity is one of the reasons why I have so much love for Rogue Trader & Oldhammer -- the idea that no matter what I was doing in my life, that mini was out there already existing, waiting for me to find it, paint it, display it, cherish it. It's a very comforting thought to me. 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 07/07/2026And fittingly for Games Workshop, there's a "for sale" sign nearby. 000
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 06/07/2026These things are like fireplaces, only cold. Except the air from the exhaust hose. That's just straight up like a fireplace. 110
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I'm obligated by Bluesky law to make a "We have Battletech at home" joke here, sorry. 050
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Nope, long OOP. Can only find 'em on eBay these days, I'm afraid! 110

Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Ordered a copy just now but daaaamn... between exchange rate, forced tariff acceptance and expensive US shipping, it was like $75 US total when the base price was supposed to be $43 😭 120
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Me, 30 seconds into the vid: "Hmm, how niche are they going to be on this one?" Me, 50 seconds into the vid: "Okay. Extremely." 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Basically anything by Dave Trampier or Russ Nicholson. Catoblepas related. 080
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Inching ever closer to opening day: received the first metal miniatures from the casters, with more to come, but getting these packaged up now. Doing everything by hand! 😅 Really pleased with how the packaging has come out, the old school 80s-90s feel is exactly what I wanted. 😁 2457
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 24/06/2026FWIW, here in the southeastern US, the yard crews all wear fully covering clothes, hats & masks, even when the temps are absolutely blistering. Has something to do with preventing the sun directly heating up your skin while keeping you safe from flying lawn debris. 030
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Funny (meaningless?) bit of trivia about that "Mercenary Force" image from WD with the yellow minis: it's reversed for some reason. The minis in reality all face the other direction. 010
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Wow, I never knew there was a blisterpack for those! I only ever had the one that came free with a White Dwarf issue (and the parts are scattered to time now). 110
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Citadel ADD78 Mind Flayers. Skin is ProAcryl Faded Ultramarine base, Contrast Ultramarine wash, mix of the two, then highlighted mix with ivory, and mix with GW Bloodshade. Not because I think there's demand for a good Illithid skin recipe, but so I'll know when I get around to the other six. 😅 1476
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Maybe we can write walls of text about how they don't come with backpacks. "GRAH, no backpacks!?! Was this sculpted by a TOURIST!?" 😂 140
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 06/06/2026I think he means the Satyr Art Studio ones. I've been trying not to buy every one of their releases lately because frankly I'm drowning in minis that I need to paint, but I still got these plus the space apes. 😅 satyrartstudio.com/Little-Siste...satyrartstudio.comSATYR ART STUDIO 381
Kep @earkham.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Nevermind the NMM, your faces are amazing! Would love to know the process for this one. 000
