Quick Update – Full Disclosure

It occurred to me that people probably know how I’m posting — I generally don’t post to the website more than once per day. This is intentional, because sometimes I can hammer out tons of painted miniatures, and then I won’t be able to get any done for a week (or more). As such, I’d rather have a consistent post going out every day rather than flooding my Twitter people with mini pictures sometimes, then not posting anything about it for a long time. Since I’ve been painting more consistently, and started with a whole bunch of little bitty miniatures, I was able to getRead More →

Hobby Room Setup as of Jan 2019 Just for my own future reference and/or nostalgia, here’s the paint station setup in The Dungeon, as of my hobby re-start: And here is (some) of the D&D collection, as of December 2018: First up is the place of honor… Hardback shelf & antique display cabinet. The Hardback shelf holds most of my prized hardback books. Bookshelf:AD&D 1e, 1e & 2e special limited re-releases, 2e & 2e revised, and 5e. Not pictured: 3.0/3.5/4.0 hardbacks – due to (obvious) space constraints on the shelf, they’ve been relegated to the normal bookshelf in the larger library in another part ofRead More →

Lightbox: The Miniature Photography Trials

I recently built myself a lightbox using the method @tabletopminions recommends in his video, Photo Lightbox: Build or Buy. I need to get brighter bulbs, it seems, but a good first attempt. Photographing the miniatures is a little different using the lightbox rather than my painting spotlights & improvised backdrops. I’m going to need some practice. And/or a better camera. As a side note, this is after I used Mod Podge Acrylic Gloss Sealer on the musician and non-bejeweled dudes. The guy with jewels in his beard is still unsealed. I was playing with various sealants to see what I like & don’t like. I thinkRead More →

Dwarf Slayer – Then & Now: A Comparison

Now that I have two of an identical model, painted over a year apart – I thought it would be neat to do a side-by-side comparison of the two and evaluate how my painting skills are progressing (or not). In both April of 2015, and August of 2016 I painted this version of the Dwarf Slayer. Old one on the left, new one on the right: For some reason, the left eye on both of them are a bit wonky… Other observations — The skin looks a bit better now. The contrast on the metal is better & clearer. The hair is significantly brighter andRead More →

A Word on Brushes

This is mainly to test my Twitter integration again. Hoping this will post to twitter as well, but we’ll see. Still trying to tweak these settings. Anyway, I have a wide variety of brushes. All of them useful for specific purposes, but there’s one brush that I use far more than any other — The Citadel Starter Brush. It came with the starter paint set with like 8 colors in horrible pots. Colors unlabeled (but they are on the box), 10 Night Goblins, and the Citadel Starter Brush. I almost immediately replaced the paints with actual paint pots (though I did plow through the blackRead More →
