Cat enthusiast, miniature wargamer. I'm here to steal your terrain ideas.
Sculpting a tiny little guy before work. I daydream about making miniatures for a living instead of my actual job
Man with a bandolier of toilet paper, presumably for sale or trade. Stuttgart, 1945. (From the French national defense archives)
Scale modeling sure has come along way since I was kid. Back in my day we had to kit bash our chickens. Hopefully these will be followed up with aftermarket photo etched parts.
Making the left side stowage bins found on the Vickers Mk VI light tanks serving in North Africa. These are missing from Battlefront’s older resin & metal models. Next step is to make a mold to duplicate it x16 more times for a full squadron.
Have you ever looked at Panzer Korps? They might be good rules, but the book is so jam packed with pictures and graphics and tables to the point of making it overwhelming, like a website flooded with pop-ups, I’ve never been able to read it. Also, no index.
New owner at work got a Nespreso and now I’ve got caffeine jitters 😵💫☕️☕️☕️
It's back in Portland. Will it go to Miami or New Jersey next? Place your bets!
Every time it arrives in Portland (its destination) it gets rerouted somewhere else, increasingly farther away. Anybody want to make a wager on where it’ll end up next?
I bought this teddy fur blanket from Amazon. It’s a tad over 4ft wide and a scouch under 6ft long -I think it’ll work for the skirmish games I have planned. It was the closest thing I could find in the US to what @adcpainting.bsky.social had recommended.
Denture brushes are pretty handy for scrubbing paint off of old miniatures, after a soak in simple green.
Little medic I converted from a mortar crew figure, using Procreate putty and swear words.
I hate photographing minis. I’m going to pay someone to do this when I win the lottery.
Looking around on Google Earth, and I'll be darned if that don't look like teddy bear fur.
