Finished building the bookcase! I sized it (and 🤞 built it strong enough) to hold my tabletop books and comics, which tend to be tall and heavy. #DIY #WoodWorking #Tabletop #Booksky
HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you. #Miniatures #MiniPainting
Show me how you paint armour ⚔️🛡️ #Miniatures #ModelPainting #MiniPainting
Almost done with the bookcase I've been working on! I needed something strong enough to hold my D&D books and tabletop manuals. Just need to finish up varnishing the outside and clamping on the trim. #DIY #Woodworking #Booksky #Tabletop
Bookcase components are mostly varnished/painted. Heading into finally assembly now! #DIY #Woodworking #Tabletop #BookSky
Built a couple of kitbashes over the weekend. A modified purgation squad, and a pair of helmed horrors using space marine bits. #GreyKnights #Miniatures #ModelPainting #40k #D&D #Warhammer
Hearing of Sam Neil's passing, I was put in mind of the last line from his 1998 Merlin, "There's no more. That's the end of magic." It was such an odd movie, one of my favorites, and one of the things that made me want to write fantasy stories.
I'm working on a bookcase to hold my tabletop manuals and comic books. Been plugging away at it for about a week, and it just hit the point where it's starting to look like a bookcase! (Instead of a bespoke collection of brown rectangles) #DIY #Woodworking #Tabletop #BookSky
Started these interceptors back in November (I think). Attempting a final push to finish them up. Kitbashed using some helms and pauldrons from MKIII armor. #Miniatures #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #SpaceMarines #GreyKnights #Nerdlings #40k #Warhammer
Tried out Forbidden Psalm tonight. Really quite fun. Very fast game to set up and play. #Tabletop #Miniatures #WarGames #ForbiddenPsalm #Terrain
Reaper Miniatures, Cart. Did this one as a quick paint to use as scatter in 5 Leagues, Frostgrave, or D&D. #ModelPainting #Nerdlings #Miniatures #Minis #MiniPainting #Frostgrave #D&D
A beast, forged by ancient spellcraft, haunts the ruins of its masters' city. (Reaper Miniatures: Burrowing Horror/Bulette) #Minis #Miniatures #Nerdlings #D&D #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #ReaperMiniatures
New (to me) way of magnetizing the thin bases that come with Frostgrave and Wizkids models. Drilled through them with progressively larger bits, up to 13/64 of an inch. Slotted in 2x5mm magnets with gel superglue. #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Frostgrave
Bit of a closer shot of the mini. #D&D #Minis #Miniatures #FiveLeagues #Frostgrave #MiniPainting #ModelPainting
A defeated sellsword trudges away from a fallen city. #Minis #Miniatures #FiveLeagues #Frostgrave #Tabletop #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #D&D #Terrain
Painted up a sketchy looking wizard. #Minis #Miniatures #FiveLeagues #Frostgrave #Tabletop #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #D&D
Without the background and other terrain around it.
Cyclopean stone gate, loosely inspired by the Lion Gate at Mycenae. Made primarily from blocks of MDF. The carvings were done by pressing Grey Knights paraphernalia into foam tiles. #Terrain #Miniatures #Minis #ModelPainting #Frostgrave #FiveLeagues #WarGames #Tabletop #MiniPainting
Finished building my backdrop holder, which I can alternate with the lightbox depending on what I'm doing. Attached some magnets to hold background sheets. #Miniatures #Minis #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #DIY
Used some workshop scraps to build a backdrop holder as another option for setting up miniature pics. Can be collapsed and folded together to store. Just have to put some varnish or something on it now! Might embed magnets to hold backdrops. #Miniatures #Minis #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #DIY
Painting an actual rock so that it looks "more like a rock" feels a tiny bit silly. It *does* look more like a rock now, though. #MiniPainting #Miniatures #ModelPainting #Terrain #Minis
Tried a new scoring technique on my bread. Half whole wheat with some milk and honey, which gave it a nice color. #Bread #Baking #Breadmaking
Built a fold-up painting table for my office. Matched the wall color so it doesn't stick out visually too much. So now my desk won't get covered in painting things! #Woodworking #DIY #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Minis
I rarely take pictures of my food, but this came out pretty. Also super tasty, a treat dinner I made for myself while my family's out. Chickpeas, spinach, and tomatoes on a bed of lemon-saffron rice, with mozzarella-white wine sauce. #Food #Cooking #HomeCooking
Another small wood project I finished this week. Sort of a miniature end table that sits on the arm of our couch. Red oak with walnut plugs over the screw holes, clear shellac. #Woodworking #DIY
Built a couple of decor shelves for my wife. Front lip to protect the treasured Christmas cottages Made them from a piece of red oak and varnished with clear shellac. #DIY #Woodworking
Continuing my vaguely Mycenae-inspired mdf terrain, I tried building a version of the Lion's Gate. #Terrain #MiniTerrain #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #Miniatures #Frostgrave
Started thinking of this guy as "halberdude" (not to be confused with "halberdoodle," his hypoallergenic counterpart). #Minis #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Frostgrave #5Leagues
A strange traveler in a peaceful land treads between ruins, whose glory he alone recalls. #Terrain #MiniTerrain #Minis #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #Miniatures #Tabletop #Frostgrave #5Leagues
