Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Bought this poster from WW2 for $40 (mine is a little beat up). Due to its size (36”x48”) the frame will be $120+. Looks like it might be a little bit before it goes up on the wall. 070
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Currently wondering if I could convince my wife to let me buy this… 080
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Worked with Bernhard over at Sieben Schwaben Spiele to make some arm decals for my Georgian Legion for the Texel Uprising. Got my India Legion decals from them. 100% recommended. 0102
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I thought I knew what I wanted to build for my next 500 point Bolt Action list but now I’m not so sure. The theme is “Forgotten Fronts.” 260
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Picked up a couple of things from a local auction today. Pretty excited to get these lamps rewired and polished up! 191
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Stopped to see the USS Hornet on my trip to San Francisco. Unfortunately it’s closed today. 0100
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Got 3 tables in the works right now and I need to figure out what order to do them in. They are: 1. Winter Eastern front with farmhouse, fields, and trees. 2. DDay farmhouse with barn and cow pastures. 3. Pacific theater USMC air base with tents and F4U Corsairs. I need to just pick one and start. 160
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Ah yes. We all know how little Star Wars fans actually care about “canon homework.” 120
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Spent a couple nights building some Flames of War tanks and last night building these winter FJ for what I would like to be a Chain of Command campaign. Already planning on pivoting to something else though… 1150
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Seem to have developed a case of carpal tunnel in my right hand. No pain, just numb fingers. Would not recommend. 020
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Well that timing worked out perfectly. The National WW2 Museum is having a VE Day commemoration with a discussion about the C-47 and Spitfire next week while we’re there. Managed to get a pair of tickets for me and my son. 050
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I find myself in a rough hobby area. If I have nothing that I’m working towards like a tournament I have almost no ambition. Does anyone else have that issue? 340
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Next months Soldier of Fortune. Thought it was Zeitsev at first be he already has a model. My new guess is Lyudmila Pavlichenko. 0130
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Clan Kryze is finished up for Shatterpoint. Although all of this Shatterpoint was a nice distraction I’m ready to paint some olive again. These models are beautiful and not hyper detailed, so the paint goes onto them so easily, but since I haven’t played in 2 years it’s hard to keep motivated. 0161
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 23/04/2026With Commander Wolffe and the rest of the Wolfpack finished up that means I’m done with clones for now. I opted not to paint the design on their shoulders or do anything too intricate on Wolffes helmet. Maybe I’ll go back some day and change that. 0171
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 22/04/2026In addition to the airbrushing last night I also finished up Commander Ponds and his two ARF Trooper buddies. I really like how the red pops against the black and white. 0261
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Did a bit of priming last night as well as airbrushing for these vehicles. I was going to use my M3 Lee for my Free French, but after some late night research it looks like they didn’t use them in WW2. Guess I’ll just have to paint it as an American tank. 0141
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Does anybody know: If I buy an issue of Wargames Illustrated through Warlord Games, does it come with the free sprues that it would in a store or as a subscription? 130
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Painted up these Shatterpoint Stormtroopers over the past few days. Could have just done a simple wash over the white and called them done, but no. Why not do multiple layers of different shades of white highlights. 2858
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Onto some Mandalorians for the next bit of Shatterpoint. These have been half finished for about two years. Hopefully I can knock these out tonight. 0182
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Genuinely shocked by the amount of stores, cons, and wanna be influencers that post in Facebook groups using AI generated images. Not to mention someone who is “making sculpts” of vehicles for MCP using AI to do all the work. I thought we as a community decided that was a shitty thing to do. 060
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Heading to New Orleans in two weeks and I can’t wait. I have a whole day blocked out for the WW2 museum. 060
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Does anyone play Blood Red Skies? I’m trying to decide how to paint my models. Do you paint them all for a specific time period and theater or do you have a historical mish mash of planes and units? 121
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Great news for not only Bolt Action but any WW2 gaming. I’m very excited for the new variety of crew for these guns. warlord-community.warlordgames.com/the-end-of-m...warlord-community.warlordgames.comThe End of Metal Guns! - Warlord CommunityLooking at a HUGE new change coming to Bolt Action - the introduction of plastic artillery and heavy weapons teams! 5285
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 17/04/2026A little more progress on these Clones and Stormtroopers. Ponds and Wolffe are starting to take shape and be more recognizable. I would like to think one more day, but in actuality it’s probably two. Getting the itch to paint some olive green again! 1291
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Mail day! Plus a free kick ass patch from Kick-Ass Mail Order! 0171
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 16/04/2026In case anyone was wondering what sort of community I live in: tomorrow is Drive Your Tractor to School Day. 260
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Although I worked on my Clones and Stormtroopers last night they basically look the same since it was a lot of white highlights and guns being painted. The other thing I worked on were building these two Jeeps and this M7 Priest for our Bolt Action escalation league. 0231
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Currently working on these Clones and Stormtroopers. Somehow I screwed up the priming and got some cracks in it. I’m being lazy with these so rather than strip them I am painting over it. Looks barely noticeable, plus it’s not like they’re competition pieces so I think I’m ok. 1392
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Love these Chain of Command trackers from @sabotag3d.bsky.social! 160
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 11/04/2026This is the last from the recent batch of Shatterpoint (I’m in the middle of some Clones right now). A Kraken droid and some B2s that he is commanding in battle. 1414
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 11/04/2026A quick spa day for this Belgian and he’s ready to start lobbing mortars at Germans again. 1100
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 10/04/2026This is a pretty cool announcement from one of the larger minis manufacturers. Rather than selling STLs for a game, provide some free ones for bespoke terrain that will help draw players in. 3171
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Finished up Jango. Apparently I screwed him up because his right foot is supposed to be standing on the pile of debris. Oh well… 0110
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Needed this US medic for an escalation league so I decided to strip a few minis today. It seems like whoever owned these before me coated them with a robins egg blue gloss spray paint. Odd choice if you ask me. 1100
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Had these classics sitting around for far too long unbased. Decided to change that last night with the small amount of hobby time that I had. 0404
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Planned painting schedule for the rest of April: Shatterpoint: 9x Troopers (clone & storm) 2x Maul (one for a friend) 3x Ahsoka (one for a friend) 2x B1 Battle Droids 3x Mandos Bolt Action 6 man squad 2 man medic team 2x jeeps M7 Priest Looks like a busy April. 070
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Luminara and Barriss needed a couple of Clone Commandos to go along with them into battle! Really starting to power through these Shatterpoint models, but I think I’ll be starting to slow down the pace a little. 0201
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Finished up Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and Padawan Barriss Offee from Shatterpoint as well! 0403
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Been a while since I’ve had the turntable out and literally just found it again while digging out some 3D printer parts so here’s a couple videos! 2222
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Finished up these two magnaguard. Super fun to paint. Need to finish up the rest of these Shatterpoint models that I have been working on now. 0332
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 05/04/2026They also had this old glass marquee out too. My youngest wants it framed with lights behind it for his room. 290
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 05/04/2026At my parents house for Easter and they had theses they were one of the first things that o bought out of college because I had a well paying job and they were available. It’s the original art from the Nintendo card that Topps made in the early 90s. 070
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 05/04/2026@sabotag3d.bsky.social Im looking at the STLs for your CoC tracker - Iron Dice Gaming had them at their game at Adepticon and I loved them. Do you recommend printing with a resin printer directly on the print bed? 130
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Always staying on the forefront of new games (sarcasm) we picked up our first foray into Flames of War at Adepticon! 1130
Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · 02/04/2026If you see this drop some armor (Fixed the spelling) 0231
