A figure I kit-bashed 6 years ago (😅) and painted last winter as a paladin of Abadar (#pathfinder) for a one-shot game. Tried to make it grim dark and Blanchitsu.

My entry to this year’s PRI challenge. My task was: Dazzle camo in Urban color palette. I found it pretty challenging, but ended up pretty happy with the result.

Anyone up for a fun challenge? Paint a micro-scale sci-fi figure in a given random color scheme in 30 days. No judges, no winners. I took part in three previous iterations: youtu.be/nZtSoyv9-4U?...

I am looking for civilian sci-fi (retro-futuristic), potentially pulpy, figures in 28mm (or easy to convert civilians). From factory workers in overalls up to scientists and more. Does anyone have any pointers? Colony 87 range looks like a good start. Stargrave has a bit too many weapons. Cheers!

Mostly done with my 1/100 hobbit hole. I believe photographing it may turn out to be a challenge on its own.

I found myself returning to the image of crying towers. In one case it was a tower flooding its surroundings with water flowing out of its upper floor windows. In the other it was a live tomb walking over old cemetery Graven-Tosk on long column-like legs while crying stale water from every opening.

A Waterloo-themed interactive toy I made years ago. Never finished it, but it is quite fun still: olesota.github.io/waterloo/ind... Dataset collected by André Heughebaert and Eric Iven (check junibis.be for the original project's details).

I consider my Highlander painted! 🤩 Very happy with the result and the photography. However, yet again, I came to a realisation that there is still so much I need to learn 😅. Well, better than otherwise! I hope you like the figure!

A little 3D printed 6mm scale car. Had a ton of fun painting it. The most challenging part of the process is keeping the fast car noises low 😅 Meant as an objective marker for #Battletech

As I don’t have much to share in terms of new figures, I might as well post something old. The beginnings of a goblin warband for Frostgrave. They still are only four 😅.

Group picture of my Red Hunter lance. Feels good to have them done! I have no idea how well they would play together in a game of #ClassicBattletech, however visually they seem to fit the theme. I also have a Jenner and a Thug I could potentially reinforce them with… 🤔

Sat down to brush up on the basic rules of #Battletech. The local heroine, young mechanic Camilla, in a Crab she found buried in a dune a few years ago, versus Laszlo, a hotshot raider whose Shadow Hawk is always annoyingly white. This duel will decide the fate of the village!

Terrain observations 🧵(1) I have been trying out different terrain arrangements for an autumn-themed Eastern Front table. Mostly to figure out where to proceed with growing my collection. In this short thread I will share a few observations, feel free to comment, disagree and share your wisdom!

I am still working out the formula for my 15mm Eastern Front terrain. Currently agonising over the basing, in particular, grass colour (see the variation on the three pieces). I might give up on the initial idea of trying to make my terrain fit both autumn and winter, focussing on the former 🍂 🥶.

A test fit of the 15mm scale hobbit hole. I am thinking about adding some lighting to the model. This makes the sequence of assembly and painting more complex - something I have always feared 😅

It’s been such a long way (started in 2019) and I almost gave up a couple of times, but here it is: ahistorical, inconsistent in many ways, but my own almost valid force for Sharp Practice. Celebrate with me 🥳!
