Well sort of painting…
I decided to print my new wheels for the undead…
It is a rather nice corpse cart. I sprayed it black and then dry brushed everything white. I even got to open some ‘new’ white paint for the task.
So here are the bits in their dry brushed stage.
It’s the club games day tomorrow. My undead hordes will eventually get an airing
Sadly the extra undead bits only dropped on Thursday so there was no time to print and paint everything.
Today I printed the NPC’s and whilst removing the supports I managed to rip the hobbit from his feet. So I saved everything, cured them and brought them into the house to sort things out.
As I picked one up it pinged out of my fingers and disappeared… this was what I spent twenty minutes trying to find…
The remaining foot is next to the pen point… yeah! Time to print a new miniature I think.
So these are the full group.
I will reprint the little dude soon.
I got the dwarves done ..,
And am printing this dude right now…
This is the body, it’s a bit larger than I normally do 🙂.
Addendum… why, when I need one miniature printing have I suddenly got half a dozen humanoids and a bloody big dog?
I eventually got around to glueing the One ring characters together.
We have two elves and a human. Two have their main weapon as a spear and the other as the bow. All are armed with a bow but only one has it as a primary weapon.
I am going to add in an NPC to allow the players to have only one travel task each.
It will probably be a hobbit or a ranger. As two are elves I will avoid a dwarf.
Sat at a ferry terminal waiting for someone to get off, who didn’t get off it. So it gives me a chance to update the blog, I forgot last night). Eventually said person got off the next ferry. Luckily I wasn’t meant to be teaching as I rolled into school at 09.20. I just remembered right now that I hadn’t even finished this post!
So hobby wise I have hit the proverbial wall and am really, really struggling to get even a glimmer of motivation. The only painting I have managed last week was Geek club!
The printer has been busy though…
More dwarves for Joe. Now I am not into dwarves, but these are really nice. More undead is coming in October!
I also eventually got the whole of the German civilian fleet to print. My favourite is front left… the one that never printed at all.
Hopefully I can get motivated soon, really not feeling it though.
Huzzah, I actually sat down and did some painting this evening. This time I went for my 15mm Samurai types.
As I was driving my eldest to drama I was totally confused by a hill/island where there shouldn’t be one… turned out to be a totally weird looking cloud. You can just about make it out in the photo below.
I have not been in the mood to paint recently, but tonight I decided I would give it a go again.
I painted my 15mm giant that I printed out. This was done whilst playing ‘Hunter Call of the Wild’ on the PC. The pJnrs were to my left, the models were to my right and I was sat in a hide trying to call in some Blacktail deer. They never came but a bull elk did.
It’s not the best photo as it was taken on my tablet rather than my phone, but hey you can see where I have been.
Well I decided to see what I had printed for the Germans… quite a bit it would seem.
So at the back we have a couple of civilian vessels with a freighter on the left and a liner on the right.
Next, coming forwards, the SMA Brandenburg… a legendary vessel. This one is a battlecruiser.
A gunboat and battleship next, a pair of cruisers and finally a pair of destroyers in the foreground.
I plonked random weapon systems on these. Once I decide which version to go for then I will glue them down.
I cocked up with these a bit as I forgot to check the top of the base would fit in the hole on the keel of the ship. Due to the size reduction some resin/IPA remained in the hole and cured. I will either pin them or drill out a bigger hole.
I had to run the club today as one of them was off yesterday and the rest were desperate to finish theirs.
We got sand onto the bases today and metallics onto the gun barrels.
We will get the bases painted and flocked/tufts tomorrow.
I am really proud of them as they tried so hard.
Here is my effort…
I eventually got around to downloading the Ironclad miniatures. If you remember I got a test run from my mate and did a Grrman and British group… you can see the British HERE
Well this time I decided that my kitchen table is a bit on the small size for the bigger models… my solution… print at 50% size. I love 3D printing! Now to be honest it comes with inherent problems aka the guns won’t be magnetised any more so once they are on, they are on. Now I could be clever with a pin drill and some thin wire, but sod it …life’s too short.
So on the blue we have a British battleship at the rear (without guns) and a cruiser. The right hand picture shows a number of civilian ships at the rear and some British destroyers front right.
These were technically test prints and I have actually re sliced things so that each ship will come with suitable armament as well as a corresponding base. For the destroyers it means three to the build plate instead of four. But to be honest I have one battleship, two cruisers and four destroyers… I probably will have enough to keep me going for a while… unless I go for the Aether version of Jutland!
You might see some deadly teddy bears….
I am printing some Urzans for the kids at school. I have decided to do each child a couple of bears to practice something a bit easier than the anthropomorphic miniatures.
This will allow them to get used to the paint and paint brushes. To make their life a bit easier I increased the size to 175%
All six of the kids want to join the Geek club. They got the choice of which beastie they fancied.
We kick of on Tuesday…
