Last photos of the Junk pile shelter. I "hid" a gem inside the large pipe as a "hidden gem" amongst the scrap. #tabletopterrain #junkpile #rust #drh

Finished a quick bust while I was on leave, mainly while waiting for inspiration to strike on how to complete my other in progress #Orkz... So here's my most recent, which I've (somewhat) randomly titled #OrkvilleWright. I know the eyes aren't right […] [Original post on mastodon.philtanner.com]

If I was after a resin printer to print new figures for painting (nothing game scale, 1:24 at a minimum, more often 1:12 "upwards"), what's my best bet these days? Things to bear in mind: 1) I'm a newbie, so KISS* 2) I don't have a Windows device, so compatibility with Linux is required 3) I […]

Working on an idea for a new piece, but I'm not convinced it's working as well as I expected/ hoped. Question to you all (boosts for wider reach and replies requested/wanted/welcome); what do you think of when you see this? - and how obvious was it […] [Original post on mastodon.philtanner.com]

In time for the season, I managed to finish my #zombie #santa & Rudolf. (Sorry for lack of alt text... honestly not sure how to describe what you're (not) looking at. #alttexthelp #alttextforyou?) #crafty

[Satirical WW2 Nazi reference] I've ordered some new resin during AliExpress' Black Friday sale. One of the pieces is "Adolforc" and I'm thinking I'm going to go with an orange skin tone (with pale eye rims and neckline) instead of orc green. I am […] [Original post on mastodon.philtanner.com]

Question to the #modelling community... I need to create about 20 tiny circles - about the size of literal pin heads - to go as shields on the side of a Viking long ship. Without destroying a pair of snippers, is there an alternative way to make these easily?

#wip - A Viking shield. Relatively okay with how it's turning out, so thought I'd share #miniturepainting #crafty

Has anyone ever done the whole "print your own transfer decals" thing on non specialist paper? Any advise? Any processes that were followed? Boosts welcome #fedihelp

Spent the evening making #lego Darth Vader with my son. This is about 3 hours, compressed down to about 90 seconds 🤣 #crafty

My Easter week(end) #sewing projects for MrsT are finally complete. Now to start on the sewing projects for me 😬

[Painted miniature bust nudity] Next model off the line. This one is a #FanfanModel called #OctopusGirl (hence why I was asking for inspiring octopus pictures a few days back). Quite pleased with her face at this point - although I still need to […] [Original post on mastodon.philtanner.com]

Question for the Fediverse... What's your favourite _looking_ octopus? I have an octopus to paint as part of a resin model. It's a decent size (palm of my hand?) and a core focus of the print, so I want to do it justice. Google image search is full of AI and hue-shifted clickbaits, so I […]

Another model underway... To be fair, it's been underway for a while , but it seems I haven't shared any #WorkInProgress shots yet, apologies! This is a print from AliExpress, so no idea of the actual model name, but it's from #ZBBoy and I think […] [Original post on mastodon.philtanner.com]

One thing I miss about Twitter is being able to ask a question like "Did ANZAC troops on the Western Front in WWI paint kiwi or other symbols on their Brodie helmets?" and actually get relatively regularly expert input. The Fedi rocks. But it's very fractured 😔 #fedihelp #anzac #ww1 #nztwit […]

Been doing some skin tone painting with the airbrush, and realised I had forgotten what mix I usually use, so thought I should probably document it for future reference 😂 So. Here's the list: 1: Humbrol #1 grey enamel primer 2: black shadows 3 […] [Original post on mastodon.philtanner.com]

[world politics] My wife and I did watch part of a Netflix documentary on Churchill last night. And at one point an American historian says something like: ”…that would be like if today America and Russia would decide the fate of a third country without involving it in the process. It just […]

Trying a new basing colour. I'm wanting a much colder tone to this model than the usual warm flesh tones I go for, so rather than base in a reddish brown, I've gone for a blue violet. Always learning, always trying new things... #WorkInProgress #WIP […] [Original post on mastodon.philtanner.com]

Really, I think I’m having more fun making canon-offensive Warhammer figures than I ever would playing the game. We’ll see how she paints up.

I knew those COVID RAT waste bags were going to be good for _something_. Turns out, they're perfect for holding my basing materials once I've opened the original sealed plastic bags they came in. The "zip-lock" tops are great for resealing them. #modelling #reuse #recycle

Question to the masses (please boost for wider reach): I've been invited to put my figurines on display in local shops for sale. I have no idea what they should be priced at... Does anyone have any suggestions? Things like this; https://mastodon.philtanner.com/@crafty/112555633017560717

[Painted implied nudity] It's been a VERY long time, but I've finally found some time to get back to working on my #kyaaten figurine. #modelling #miniaturepainting #modeller #crafty #workinprogress #wip

#fedihelp About a month ago (maybe two?) I saw a post where someone had managed to over ride the #firmware on a wearable ring, using a Buffer Overflow bug. I seem to recall they displayed "ATU" or similar on the display as a proof of concept. I can't find the poster, or the post now. Can […]
