Finally got to get some more color onto this terrain with an Oil Wash. First pass is done, might have to mute the really bright green a bit, but i like how it’s looking so far! #terrain #miniatures #painting @trenchcrusade.bsky.social

I’ve been finding time to paint, but less time to post progress. I’ve never tried painting pale, rotting, gross dudesmen before. First time for everything and I’m slowly getting the hang of it! @trenchcrusade.bsky.social #blackgrail #plagueknight #houndsoftheblackgrail #gross

I’ve been slowly working away at terrain for Trench Crusade. I have been doing so little hobby stuff that i decided to just try out new techniques on this piece. sponging on paint is new and works pretty alright! #trenchcrusade #radiotower #terrain #miniatures #painting #miniaturepainting

A few pictures of my Trench Crusade game this last weekend. I learned a lot in a mirror match between two black grail factions. This was my first attempt, lost but learned a lot? #trenchcrusade #blackgrail

I also had time to get some work done on my castle for #1490doom. Looking forward to finishing this build so i can paint it! #miniatures #terrain

Not a ton to show hobby wise, but I got to spend hobby time today, that’s a win for me! Built and primed some Black Grail models for Trench Crusade! #miniatures #miniaturepainting #trenchcrusade #blackgrail

Not the most impressive amount of visible work, but taking the time to think through how we’re going to use this hobby space has taken longer than I thought it would! I got a lot organized though, space to build minis, print them, and paint with my kids is coming along! #hobbyspace #workshop

Mostly I’ve been back to working on my house again, but, I don’t want to skip out too much on hobby time. My brother sent me some terrain he was working on for our game group to use. I’m making some modifications before I paint this set of terrain! Thanks Brian! #terrain #trenchcrussde #miniatures

It wasn’t a long living hobby space, but it was definitely the hottest one I’ve ever had. Time to move stuff again, but hopefully to a spot where it can stay while we continue to fix up our home. #hobbyspace

Had a rare opportunity to spend some hobby time with a group of friends today! This is honestly my favorite thing to do and I wish i had more opportunities to do so! Got some more Prussians painted. #trenchcrusade #miniatures #painting #hobbytime

Back to working on my house. With construction being done in this workshop area, I’ve started cleaning and moving back in. This is a shared hobby space with my family, but for me, it’ll be where a print, assemble, and airbrush all the things! #hobbyspace #workshop #3dprinting

The Romanin Front narrative event was a blast! Trench Crusade’s campaign system is very well put together and even though I lost all 3 rounds, and had to reinforce after round 2, I still had a blast! #trenchcrusade #campaign #prussians #miniatures

I’ve been working on this model on and off for the last week. I wanted a model for “mechanized infantry” for my Prussian warband. I’m not entirely sure if it’s a fit, but, we’re going to go with close enough! #trenchcrusade #kitbash #miniatures

I spent some time trying to find tokens to print on my FDM printer for Trench Crusade. there’s options out there, but I ended up making some basic ones for myself to cover the basics. They’re simple, but they’ll get the job done! #trenchcrusade #3dprinting #tokens

My friends are hosting a narrative Trench Crusade event in June, so I’m having to pivot from 1490 Doom over to some Prussians! Excited to build minis and get some paint on them. Hopefully i can at least get a few painted by the time this event happens! #miniatures #trenchcrusade #prussians

A little detour on a recent road trip to deliver a pinball game up to my friends place in Minnesota had us drive past Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron. I won’t be able to do this any justice, but this is life size #kitbashing. I left with more questions than answers but everyone should go here!

So I’ve been joking that instead of a #gameroom, we should instead aim for a pond with a waterfall feature in our basement… 😬😬😬 Turns out we’re not far off! #cantwaitforthistobedone

So I knew it’d be a mess cutting up my basement, but damn. We did not have enough plastic walls up to contain all of this dust! Progress for sure, but sometimes i wonder at what cost, lol. #basement #mess #hobbyspace #gameroom #dustalloverthethings

When our basement flooded, we moved stuff out. I took some time to move my hobby desk to another section of the basement that wouldn’t be under construction…but now it is and i have to move it again! We opted to add another house project and set this sub room up to hobby in!

Ok, it’s been a bit, i haven’t had the time to do much hobbying over the last bunch of months due to my house flooding our basement. The basement was where my gaming and hobbying happened and now we’re working to rebuild the things!

If you have Instagram make sure you’ve turned off sharing location on the new map feature thing. The fact that it automatically opted people into sharing their exact location is truly unhinged and unsafe.
