Knights and Pumpkins

I carried on with the Knights and foot soldiers this evening. I just need to get the bases painted on the foot below. I have to finish Joan D’arc and make a start on another mounted knight and another banner bearer on foot,

I also got this lot done for my mate…

I still have to do the stems and then get them based up.

For these pumpkins I went outside my usual method and sprayed these black, dry brushed them white then added the orange. I actually did something different to my usual… I won’t be doing this regularly though.

In other news my new filament printer arrived today.

A Bit of a Printer Issue

So yesterday I said that I had ordered new printers. This is one of the reasons why.

I printed twelve pumpkins for my mate…

Now the more mathematically aware of you may reason that either I am really crap at counting or that there may have been some issues with the print.

In fact I printed them twice, I actually turned the Vat around to see if it was the FEP. Funnily enough I got the same number second time around.

Both times I lost five of them. I used heavy supports and printed at an angle, but still had failures.

I also had some weird extrusions too…

So as these are the same two in the foreground it may be that particular model. I have two of the larger ones and the one not shown is fine.

If you look at the mounted one below, they have a failed sword, I have had to print numerous heads and shields for the knights too.

I will have a proper check of the machine to see what may be the cause. But I am getting about 25% of the build plate that fails about 75% of the time.

Cute Bugs

Well this evening my good lady eventually left me alone and I managed to get these finished…

The necklace one has its string on, sadly I cannot find the earring bits!

I managed to get some Japanese civilians done to go alongside the Ikko Ikki and Onna Bushi.

Something a Bit Different

My wife has got well into her Isopods so I thought a necklace and earrings as a bit of a daft present for her birthday 🙂

Oh yeah some twit forgot to take his steroids this morning then spent 3 or 4 hours sawing and using sanders… really not clever!

A bit of Painting

It was the last day of term today and the last Geek club for a while. I managed to get some painting done.,,

The one on the left is the latest one. I do like this range. which is why I went for another red panda.

Lazy Sunday

Well I had a bit of a lazy Sunday today, did the horse this morning and this evening and pretty much didn’t do much else. Okay I knacked my back which then buggered the rest of me. But…

Anyway, no painting this evening. I did download the next pile of Anthromorporhical Beasties from Goonmaster… The second lot is one of their throwback sets that I get every month too.

Samurai Turtles II

This evening I had guests over. My sister in law and her partner were up visiting from England so I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked… in reality I got more done than expected. Expectation was zero.

I had put a number of layers of the dipping inks on the red armour. It stopped working like it should so I decided to try a bit if glazing and badly executed edge highlighting. Unfortunately my red was of the vintage of the orange and yellow!

Tomorrow I go over the lacing in white then choose a nice contrasting colour to go over it.

Piggy Boy

🐷 I got him finished during Geek club today.

Now I am going to be honest, when I first saw these alongside the chameleons I was not overly impressed. Not with the sculpts, but I was disappointed that they weren’t conquistador pigs..

I actually really love them now and printed a couple to do at home sometime.

Mrs Bunny in the Fields

Tonight the septic tank backed up again so I wasn’t really I the mood to paint anything. I did however get some of my home made tufts on the Goonmaster rabbit.
