Doomed I tell you!

So as you know I like a bit of 3D printing and to support my Geek Club (who just happen to love the Goonmaster anthropomorphic miniatures) I joined their patreon… to be honest it wasn’t hard…look (badly photographed) chameleons…

However, this is not the doomed part… as I had jumped on the monthly payment for Goonmaster, one of my others was going to have to go the journey. Yeah!

I was going to drop Highland, as I have had three months of dwarves which I am not really that into. They were bringing out a new race… everyone was guessing… anywhere from Chaos dwarves to Wood Elves… sadly for me…

When I played Warhammer 6th Edition I loved The Orks and Goblins… I had a lot of Gobbos… I always wanted a whole 2000 point goblin army… looks like I have a chance thirty years later!

To be fair if it had been anything except Gobbos or wood elves I would have been gone.

So it would seem like my Lord of the Rings one will be going in the new year. I was supporting them from day one, about two and a half years ago and I have printed very little. The odd miniature here and there for the One Ring RPG and for the stalled battle of the Five Armies diorama.

It will be a case of if I want something I will buy it on My Mini Factory. I am hoping the paths of the dead will be next!

Yes I am feeling better and managed to stay up all day as well as sort out the horse and do the weekly shop.

I started watching Wednesday with Lucy, thoroughly enjoyed it. We got up to episode six. She is on her third watching of it. Whilst doing so I tried my dipping inks in the cat food box trays…

I can fit fifteen in each box, so there is room to grow the collection.

I actually did a bit of painting too.

So foolishly I made my way to work today. Cold and Flu plus kept me on my feet. But my cover teacher was Poorly so off I went. Friday is technically a shorter day as we finish at 14.00. Well it would be if I didn’t run the Geek club.

If you remember we were making stone walls out of 10mm blue foam. This was where we got to today…

I am so proud of them. But more importantly they are proud of themselves.

We still have work to do but they are getting there. In the background is the tray for the spray varnish.

Sat in bed writing this, nose streaming and guts well and truly being coughed up…. Bleurgh!

Yes the winter feeling crap disease has hit the household. Tonight I managed to just about watch YouTube. The whole family is down with it. My wife ended up getting sent home from work.

Therefore painting things took a back seat. What is more weird was I went to work with a slight snuffle nine hours later I just about managed to drive home.

I now rattle there is so many cold and flu things inside me!

Hopefully it is a short lived thing🤒😷🤒🤧!

Tonight I got wanted something simple to do so broke out the Greenstuff and added some bits to the big Chaos dude…

I basically got carried away hiding the arm seam.

I am also relocating back into the lounge… the conservatory is getting a little chilly. I wanted to see whether the dipping inks would fit.

Sadly I still have three to go and they won’t go in! After getting these in it dawned on me I had to take them back to school for the Geek club.

My new paints from Greenstuff World arrived the other day. I would have shown them sooner but i took them in to show the Geek club and promptly forgot them.

Here they are…

These will fill in some gaps nicely.

One day I might actually get around to using them!

This evening I simply got some miniatures onto some MDF bases. Not a huge amount, but at least I achieved something.

Now all of the dwarves I have printed before this were for Joe. I fancied painting some myself. It has literally just dawned on me that these probably aren’t going to be super exciting as they are all pretty much armoured.

I said some time ago I fancied Mordheim again, one force I always fancied was the Dwarf treasure hunters. It looks like with these 3D ones it will be a possibility. The only things I haven’t got are the Dwarf juvenile types.

This evening was Parent Council night so I didn’t get back into the house until 21.30… really couldn’t be bothered to start anything, plus it was a bit late to fire up the Printer.

Hopefully Normal service will resume tomorrow.
