🧡 Baby met some horses today. After watching a few he felt brave enough to touch a nose.
Fact: I have superior quality perception. Grade S, unrivalled. It saved lives, and recovered horribly tangled necklaces. Good stuff. Proud of that. Full stars.
The problem with going through a sudden case of "congrats, you went from perfect to dying in under 30 seconds" is that you friggin' keep finding reminders of it, in the weirdest ways, for all eternity. How the hell am I going to untangle this necklace. Friggin' how.
My gundams are delayed, so I'm really, really glad I took the effort to paint the crab shell last night.
Painted more on the sea goblins. Basic vallejo and citadel for white to yellow with ivarden contrast, then hikari stardust candy magenta for the red. #miniature #handpainted
Ok, they're a bit bigger than Big Convoy. Expecting them to be like the Tarn build I have (shush). So I will definitely be pulling some Transformers out of my displays and into storage for the kid.
New bread, different tactic: created a very dry granular dough, tossed on counter, kneaded with wet hands and gradually upped the water content that way until I got the dough consistency I wanted.
It's summer, so I can stay up late with light to paint. Putting the plan into action. #miniatures #airbrush #handpainted
Cleaned the airbrush and got to spraying some sea goblins ✨️ #airbrush #miniatures
Simple, but effective. It doesn't have to be complicated all the time! #handpainted #miniature #centaur
Horsie! Continued this Centaur gladiator figurine for the last hobbyclub night. I wasn't sure what direction to take him, I am still proud of that baby's first handpainted ombre job and I don't wanna mess it up. Leaning Ifrit-themed. #handpainted #miniature #centaur
I'm still troubleshooting the bread ending up flat, but first 'volkoren' sourdough bread. I switched components so it's a learning process to find the right dough consistency.
Fun fact about the Hovenring (the elevated bike roundabout): the first next roundabout attached to it is inverted: The cyclists are on ground level crossing and cars are elevated on a roundabout. They're a SET! City planning art beyond just the thing itself.
More metal painting. Worst figure model ever, but good practice. Its right leg is still unpainted, good contrast. #miniature #miniaturepainting #fallout #fo76
New Discord commission scam tactic just dropped. It's a bait 'n switch!
Ok, no, it's pitch perfect. No overhang support, perfect circle. CR6SE, Esun PLA+ BLACK. Tool to open & close an overhead velux window.
I think this is a failure in the making, but damn if that esun pla+ isn't the prettiest. First post partum 3D print. The machines are back!
Prepared a breakfast minced meat & leek omelet. Pre-cooked meat & leek. Cooled. Mixed with eggs in the bosch, put in hot pan, covered with lid until bottom is cooked, then seared the top in the oven grill. To portion for multiple days.
Baked a new sourdough bread, and got a Bosch MUM5 kitchen machine for birthday & mother's day. I've been marvelling at all the tools (meat grinder? ice cream maker? in a home kitchen? gtfo!) Let it do a batch of dough to see what it could do. Magic, that's what. Can't wait to bake it.
My kings day thrifting score was 3 pillows for 3,- & a woven lion mask. But also a monster haul of 3 more pillows and 7 quality fabrics, throws, and blankets for 20,- from a thrift store. Which is, if you're new to fabrics, insane. I now have pillows that would cost 12,50 new for 1,- to 2,-
Paint doesn't photograph well at night, but progress on the Fallout 76 CE Super Mutant figure. #fallout #fo76 #miniaturepainting #handpainted
Fallout cursed maneater*, work in progress. He's an airbrush candidate as I want an even blue glow on the top fleshy parts. Pure experimentation. *I respect Native American wishes to not speak out their mythological evil, it's a simple ask to honor. I don't need to invoke bc a mini got some paint.
On day 14 of sick. Still, Tues's gamedev work: - made BP Component to load animations, + randomiser. (Fixes architecture mistake past me made) - Made 6 animations, + import. - NPC portrait start. Quick phone csp doodle. Needs big monitor work & focus. - Verified ancient archi loads portraits.
