Decided it was time for an upgrade. I didn't appreciate how much bigger the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k was going to be than the Mars 3 until I had them side by side. Now, what to print first? 🤔 #3DPrinting #ResinPrinting #Miniatures

The Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K next to the Elegoo Mars 3.

My dad handed off his card collection from the 90s to me and I've been sorting through it, starting with Boris Series II. There's a complete set in here (among many extras) and he never realized it because he's bad at sorting, haha. #TradingCards #CollectableCards #BorisVallejo

A binder featuring cards from the Boris (Vallejo) Series II collectable card set. Next to it are several piles of incomplete sets.

More hex base prototyping time. Too specific? What would you want on the front facing? I can reduce the number of bars for longer text. Now to try some other fonts. Maybe similarly styled round bases? #BattleTech #Miniatures #PaintingMiniatures

A printed prototype of my 30mm hex base highlighting the Chassis name COM-4D printed on the front facing, flanked by hazard styled bars. A commando rests on top over a slot for magnets.

Shameless self-promotion. My custom hex base targeted at BattleTech is now freely available for download on Cults3d. Tactile front, slot for 10mm disc magnet, and recessed top for basing flexibility. Prints also available via Etsy in the US for those without a printer. linktree in bio. #BattleTech

Prints of my custom 30mm hex bases, stacked atop one another and sat beside a fully decorated copy with a painted UrbanMech attached.

I haven't followed Pokemon in a long time, but I still have my childhood cards. I always thought these were cheap joke cards. This week I learned they are not. Young me put them straight into the binder and forgot about them except for the occasional nostalgia flip-through. #pokemon #pokemontcg #tcg

Time to return to this prototype. A few changes I want to make but I think the concept is solid. Magnet slot works perfectly and the front facing relief makes those stripes look crisp. #BattleTech #PaintingMinis

Two prototype hex bases intended for battletech. The left is an unpainted base to show the physical features such as a slot for a magnet and front face relief. The right is fully textured and painted. The rim is black, the front demarcation stripes are yellow and jade green in the style of Clan Jade Falcon, and the represented terrain is that of rocky and overgrown grasslands.

It's been a busy week in a good way and I finally had some time to paint, so here's a WIP. Plenty left to do, but he and his squad are coming together. A dozen things I want to do better next time, but I'm happy with the improvements I have made. #PaintingMinis #Warhammer40K #PaintingWarhammer

A Tempestor Prime wielding a plasma pistol and dagger. Most details are painted with only some highlights remaining. He is painted in tradition Scion colors, blue and bronze armor, creM fatigues, and a black and red coat. Gradients have been used on the blue of the armor and several baubles have been painted as amber gems.

Stripping paint off this 20 year old TimberWolf, the first #BattleTech mini I ever bought and long before I had any idea what I was doing. How should I paint this classic sculpt? #PaintingMinis

A metal mini of a classic TimberWolf sculpt from Iron Wind Metals . It sits submerged in isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush is being used to scrub the paint off of it. My hand is gloved, not because it's required, but because I don't want the alcohol drying out my hand. There is also a 3D print of a timber wolf inspired by the same sculpt sitting off to the side and created by me back when I was a teenager.

#WIP I Wasn't planning on working on a Sentinel, but had a paint day with a friend and wanted to try something new, so I experimented with some cold weather camo. Not sure how I like it. Yet, But I'll wait until it's done to pass judgement. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40K #Guardvember #Miniatures

An armored Sentinel currently in the process of being painted. It has a camo pattern utilizing cool green. Tan, white. And accents of red and blue. Some base colors are still missing. And if has no shading or highlighting yet.
