Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ok, the tooth fairy sucks. I want to go to bed but before I do I need to make sure the tooth fairy visits my daughter who just won’t go into a deep sleep. 001
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 28/08/2026So in a break from printing and painting miniatures and terrain I decided to try printing a #mandalorian helmet on my A1 mini. Happy I did it, but getting the segments to align is a pain and I have so much filling to do, so couldn’t recommend it. #starwars 110
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 21/08/2026First pass at changing the bell under the #skaven 's feet from TMM to NMM. I dont hate it, but the tone is a lot closer to his robes than it previously was, so that may need to be addressed #nerdlings #warhammer #ageofsigmar #paintingminiatures 1414
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Ordered a #secretlabs chair and due to their janky website the size selection reset and I ordered a regular size by accident. Their website claims returns are £25-50. Cheapest I can find is about £85 for a 60 mile delivery which they say I can’t do myself and need to use couriers. Recommend avoiding 000
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Got some more work done on the #skaven grey seer. Areas worked on since the last photo are tail, fur, belt and the ground. Now at the point where i don't actively hate anything on the model, so trying to work out where to go next, it may be the horns. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar 0131
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Changed up the colour of the #skaven 's cowl, and i think i much prefer this as it is no longer blending in with the horns and face. I think the next area i don't like is the tail, so that is next. #miniatures #ageofsigmar # paintingminiatures #nerdlings #warhammer 0425
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Still too hot for painting right so, so just relying on my 3d printer for jointing currently as I play with #necromunda #terrain layouts (including boaty guest star appearance) 050
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Still working on printing up my #necromunda #terrain . Coming up with various ideas for each tile just need to try and ensure they connect together smoothly 060
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Been looking at this random cupcake that was in my desk when I came into work this morning with none on anybody else’s. After a bunch of consideration I decided not to ask any questions around the office and just bin it 110
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Almost finished printing off the hive wall for my #necromunda #terrain think I have worked out how to paint them but waiting for the whole batch to be ready first, looking forward to have some complete tiles 0121
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Managed to get a bit more work done on my #skaven. Still trying to get the colours down, I lightened the armour up, but I think the neck cowl may need changing up too. #nerdlings #miniatures #ageofsigmar #miniaturepainting #warhammer 1272
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Had a really good time at BBQ Bowl yesterday playing #bloodbowl with I think 40 others. My wood elves won 2 games 3-0 and lost one 1-0, which was enough to take home the most touchdowns award. My painting was put to shame though as some of those teams were gorgeous 120
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Looking around my pile of shame i ended up getting inspired by this #skaven grey seer. Much happier with how the composition is working on this one, so will see how far i can push it. #miniatures #paintingminiatures #ageofsigmar 1132
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Been waiting 5 weeks to have my next league game of #bloodbowl After waiting all this time for him to be ready, he has now announced in the group chat he is pulling out of the league as doesn’t want to lose too badly to my elves. Not a single word directly to me. Not impressed. 100
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Got a whole bunch of clean up and sanding / filling as some prints didn’t come out great but I think I have the main parts done now for my first #necromunda tile. Still not 100% if the bag scanner will stay or not. #terrain 0112
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Bit more progress today on the #nexromunda #terrain I decided that having 2 staircase took up too much space so switched to a single one, will have some sort of customs desk in the empty quarter. Also made good progress on the ramparts. Did find out the 3kg spool I ordered didn’t fit properly though 040
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Most of the walls for the latest 2 tiles of #necromunda #terrain are now printed, so working on the floors and walkways now. Had to make some custom tiles to get the walkways working how I want them due to the shape of the walls I am using 091
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 27/05/2026While I like most of what I read about #trenchcrusade I just can’t get on board with the grim dark aesthetic. The problem is then presents is it seems to suck up so much of the non-GW gaming space I am worried that games with prettier/cuter miniatures don’t have the room to thrive 000
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Had some printer issues which slowed me down but work continues on the #necromunda #terrain these will be a toll crossing and a promethium cache. Crossing needs another level to the walls and then I need to start work on the platforms stairs and ladders 191
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 22/05/2026As a palette cleanser from the blue armour i just couldnt get right, i decided to try some black cloth. Maybe because i put less pressure on, but quite happy with this #miniatures #paintingminiatures #marvelunited 181
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 22/05/2026This was meant to be my try hard piece to get something to possibly put into competition with, but i just cannot get the initial colour sketch to a point i am happy with, so its going back on the shelf in this state until i feel the energy to try again #miniatures #paintingminiatures #warhammer 191
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 21/05/2026I was originally going to do another floor under this one, but decided it probably works as it currently stands, so i am calling this terrain piece finished. #necromunda #terrain #miniatures #warhammer 1193
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Got my squad painted up and ready for my first campaign, still more i can do with these, especially with the weapons, but I wont be embarrased to put them on the table. Plan is they will move round the table in pairs #warhammer #necromunda #miniatures #paintingminiatures 0161
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Terrain printed up now, but with it blowing a gale outside I am not going to be able to prime today. Next up is a set of stairs, then onto another piece. #necromunda #miniatures 420
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Still working on printing out the various components of the shop, but the basic shape is coming along now #miniatures #necromunda 070
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Test wall piece for some necromunda terrain using the STL files from dragonsrest #necromunda #miniatures #terrain #paintingminiatures 061
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Managed to get some more painting time in on the enforcers, and painted up all of the patrol box bodies. Most of the squad are suffering from 'flesh wounds' however until i work out what weapons i want to take on them. #necromunda #miniatures #paintingminiatures 0141
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Tried a demo game for Necromunda last week, as a result i thought i should start to paint up a gang, this is the first attempt #necromunda #miniatures #paintingminiatures 1201
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Completely unrelated to miniatures, I am currently participating in a game of extreme jenga in the office. I place some bricks then an hour or so later go back to the break room and somebody else has taken their turns. Still no idea who I am playing against, but our towers are getting pretty good. 000
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 10/04/2026I need to invest in some image stacking software for group shots, but here is the currently painted up Ork force that i have managed to get done, trying to push along and get the rest of them done now. #miniatures #paintingminiatures #40k #orks 0111
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Speaking of bust I also printed up a spiderman and tried to fight with my airbrush to get the reds down with limited success. Will switch to traditional brush work now to try to get the reds all highlighted properly #miniatures #paintingminiatures #spiderman 061
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Just realised i didnt post where i got to with the pirate maiden bust. Pretty happy with where is got to as a first pass, but the layer lines are more noticable than i thought when you start looking closely, so not sure i will push it any further than this #miniatures #paintingminiatures 0111
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Started painting up the fatemaster, with the schemes i have seen so far incluyding the box art the familiar just blends in to the model, so i decided to make it pop a bit more #paintingminiatures #miniatures #warhammer 0121
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Managed to get a 2-0 win with tomb kings against orcs in the league final to retain the league championship. Next onto season three and wood elves to see how I do with the new rule set #bloodbowl 030
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Finished off the Wood Elf blood bowl team to tabletop standard, and switched over to a bust that i may try my best on. Currently just sketching out values, but quite like the 2 colours i have so far. Bust is by 'Nerikson' #miniatures #paintingminiatures 051
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 03/02/2026I bought a picture I really like a few years ago at Comic-Con and want to possibly get a second from the same artist, but have no idea who it is. Can anybody help? #art #fantasy 010
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Managed to get another painting session in, and now the team all have skin and hair at least base coated. Now just need to settle on a colour for the shoulder pads then can highlight items up. At least now at the point they can turn up on a pitch if needed #bloodbowl #miniatures #paintingminiatures 0161
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Need to practice more on how to take gorup photos, but next seasons team is slowly coming along, just this seasons final to play and i am done with season 2 rules. #bloodbowl #miniatures #paintingminiatures 0103
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 25/01/2026Dug out my wife's old digital camera, got some black felt and tried to take some better photos of some of my more recent models, like the effect, but does highlight the errors a bit more. #miniatures #paintingminiatures 052
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Took another really good painting lesson with Aaron Clark. This time for NNM. This is the results from the lesson, could be better but learnt a lot. #paintingminiatures #miniatures 050
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Finally got time to sit down and paint a test model up for the elf team I am thinking about running next season. Will do the basing of the whole team at the end. #bloodbowl #miniatures #paintingminiatures 0101
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Finally got round to painting up a few more orks. Still not quite worked out how to use the basing sand properly, but happy enough with them for now. #paintingminiatures #orks #40k #miniatures 0151
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Decided to go with a more olive tone in the orc skin, prefer it to the richer green colour. Now to do this another 30 times #miniatures #paintingminiatures #orktober 1814
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Starting to work on the next model for my marines. Given librarians are meant to be blue I just get to switch the primary and secondary colours in my scheme #miniatures #paintingminiatures #40k #spacemarines 071
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 12/09/2025Managed to make a bit more progress today with the rest of the pink boy squad, just need to do the detailing and try to work out the army basing scheme. #miniatures #paintingminiatures #spacemarine #40k 0111
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Took a break from painting marines to print off and paint a werewolf as I need a star player for the next league game #bloodbowl #miniatures #paintingminiatures 2906
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 26/08/2025So didn’t get much of my own modelling done this weekend, but I did help out my daughter with her Lego city and made a stage for a group to perform on #modelling #lego 020
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Put the first few coats of magenta down on the marines friends. Next up is to start sketching and highlighting up this on all the bodies #miniatures #paintingminiatures 041
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 15/08/2025First league game of the season played. My Tomb Kings vs Goblins. Won 3-1 and got 3 casualties for 2 bonus points. Got tackle on blitzer (dodge on goblins was annoying and lizards next). And rolled 2 randoms on skeletons, getting shadowing both times 😭 #bloodbowl 020
Jkaen @jkaen.bsky.social · 14/08/2025First pass of blending by done and the jump in quality is huge. Just need to decide now how much work to out into it before I consider it done #miniatures #paintingminiatures 0432
