"I hate #vibes-based reasoning, because of the kind of thinking that it elevates. It elevates the comms spad over the #macroeconomist, the reader-of-headlines over the #modeller, the use of a finger in the air over a solid think about the vast, hard-to-move #economy."

Been a while! And I ended up deciding I didn't like the look of the carapace.

But anyways, I've done some more work on the #Wizkids #NolzursMarvelousMiniatures #WarforgedTitan

#modelling #miniaturePainting #modeller #Crafty

Front on view with the Titan looking into the camera.

His(?) carapace is now blue, front left quadrant with black & yellow hazard lines.

Above his head is a war axe, painted as a glowing power axe.

His face is chrome (with fluro green panels just base coated), surrounded in gold.

Rear view from on top, showing the back right quadrant of the carapace as a small checkered blue and white pattern.

The back side of the battle axe is painted similarly to the front.

So that's an evening done.

Ended up with some boggle eyed heads. But as they have no bodies, it's not the end of the world 😂

Dodgey lighting on potato cam doesn't help things either...

#ModelPainting #modeller #BustPainting #Crafty

Side view, from their right side. Closest had is wearing a red beret. Further has a black rolled wool fisherman's cap

Front on, low view. Finger in background for a sense of scale.

Face on the right has a small cigarette in his mouth

Close up of beret figure.

Just realised I've not painted the band. 🙄

Close up of the figure wearing the woollen hat smoking.

He looks most perturbed by something or other

Need something small, to do in an evening. So started a pair of 1/35 heads.

I don't have the figurines for them, so they're effectively "throw aways".

Primed, skin base coated, and para beret done..

#ModelPainting #modeller #BustPainting #Crafty

Photo of two heads and necks, attached to a sprue. They're British commandos, by the looks of things, so that's what I'm going with.

Figure on the left is wearing a beret, which is now painted red. Figure on the right has a rolled up knitted cap, bit like a North Sea fisherman. Both are wearing a very stern expression

She's finally(!) finished.

Close up photo of the starboard nose, with the engine cowelling raised to expose the engine block inside.

Large chunk of scratch building added to the model parts, based on reference photos.

Photo from 6 o'clock high, showing only the starboard cowling is raised

Photo from 7 o'clock high, to show more of the port side of the aircraft

Photo from 2 o'clock - showing the starboard side of the aircraft

Been a hot minute since I posted anything. I've not had much time for modelling recently.

Got my kit back out yesterday and started on a #Wizkids #NolzursMarvelousMiniatures #WarforgedTitan and decided to try my hand at some OSL. In preparation for that, I've started work on a cracked lava base for him.

Excuse quality of pictures, hard to do well at this range, in this light at the end of the day...

#modelling #miniaturePainting #modeller #Crafty

Photo of of the base taken from the 9 o'clock position, without flash

Photo again from the 9 photo position, using the flash to show the base better

Photo from about the 4 o'clock position, with flash, showing the other side of the base

Not sure if this is too subtle.

Both the paint job, and the "in joke".

For context, this is a plinth that a bust of Boudicca will be sitting atop.

So, gentle reader... Do you "get it"? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

Very open to feedback. Boosts welcome.

A photo of a grey "megalith" standing stone, surrounded by tussock grasses.

Written on the stone in a reddish pink, at about a 45° angle, is the phrase:

ROMANI
ITE
DOMVM

Same plinth, same view, slightly different angle, to show the worded paint is slightly glossy.

(It'll get another couple of coats of gloss paint to really make it shine).

Question for the #3DPrinter people out there...

If you get an unsupported STL file, "designed for 30mm gaming" how challenging is it to actually print it at 75mm scale?

Is it simply a case of scrolling that scale dial up to 250%? Or is there going to be unexpected outcomes of such an action?
