Insert witty caption here... #silentsunday

I have now removed all my posts (~10 years worth) from FBook, so only you lot of Mastodon, Ko-Fi, and DakkaDakka can see my work. Speaking of Ko-fi, I have some device wallpapers if you want some paint splatter on your screen. Free to view and download, you shouldn't even need a login […]

Recrystallization is NOT actually the most effective organic chemical purification technique. It's a lie promulgated by Big Filter Paper.

Pssst... hold the pipette vertically when aspirating. It improves accuracy! Pass it on. #chemsky

Earrings based on leaves; one pair from autumn and one in the prime of summer. Carved from pieces of Plasticard (~1.5mm thickness). Each leaf is less than 10mm long. #earrings #leafearrings #leavesearrings #drh

Robin pin. Made to order for someone that likes Robins. Cut from plasticard, with an added layer for the wing. A 1p coin was used as a template for the body, to give you an idea of scale. Then handpainted. #robin #birds #robinpin #art #drh

Feed Me Seymour! Audrey II. Prop replica. Quick project for reasons I won't go into. Card, cardboard and polystyrene base, coated in epoxy putty and tissue paper and then painted. A relatively nice pot, rather than a coffee can, as it was a present. #littleshopofhorrors #audreyii #propreplica #drh

Red-spotted purple butterfly earrings. Based on the Limenitis arthemis butterfly. Cut from plasticard and hand painted (I used neither red or purple paint in the process). #butterfly #earrings #jewellery #art #redspottedpurple #drh

Helmet. I cast this 1:6 scale F1 helmet in carbon fibre while on a work placement from school. While we weren't meant to be paid for the work experience placements, I got ~£50 of carbon fibre and free tickets to the practice and qualifying sessions of the […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Chameleon earrings. How to show a colour-changing creature with a static paint job; Rainbow. Carved from plasticard and hand-painted. #chameleon #earrings #jewellery #rainbow #drh

The Maltese Falcon. Sculpted in clay with some epoxy putty details and fixes. As close as I could get to the original, plus I included a secret space in the base. At least the painting was easy for a 1:1 scale model: Gloss black all over. #sculpture #propreplica #maltesefalcon #art #drh

The first earrings I made. The roses are sculpted in epoxy putty, and the "gems" are carved plastic. Hand-painted, making use of my model painting experience. #earrings #jewellery #rose #gem #drh

Peacock Butterfly earrings. Cut from plasticard and hand painted. #earrings #jewllery #art #peacockbutterfly #drh

And a scale photo of this little hut. #ngauge #scalemodel #hutrepaint #drh

Hut repaint. This N-gauge hut was originally built by my Grandfather. As it came to me still attached to the piece of ground it was built on, it needed little in the form of repairs, but received a full new paintjob. It was interesting to find that, at this […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Dark Eldar Wych. Another miniature painted for a friendly contest. The theme was based on Sin City, where you have all monotone with one spot colour. I reposed this wych, gave her a second blade and then decided on fiery hair as the spot colour. I put a lot of […] [Original post on dice.camp]

I painted this (and made the easel) for a Father's Day years ago. As usual for me, it's tiny; Dollshouse-scale. I referenced a photo I found online, labelled only as a traditional ancient chinese building. Enamel paint on polyurethane. 50x40mm #art #painting #landscape #easel #dollshouse #drh

'nids playing 40k. Often my most popular build wherever I post it. This was just a silly "in-between projects" pallet cleanser. Built during the Dark Vengeance period, hence the themed colour schemes for the 'nids; Dark Angels Vs. Chaos. #warhammer40k #nidsplaying40k #drh #warhammercommunity

Woubble. An adventuring gelatinous cube. Created by Lauren Walsh while I was over on Twitter. I felt inspired to create a miniature version. Using a kit skull and a sword and arrow I crafted myself, I built them up using layers of hot glue. Gave the final cube […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Tactical Marine #14 She is ready to join my army/collection as a member of the Red Legion chapter. Had some issues during painting and adding transfers, but generally pleased with the result. Chapter symbol is a black skull transfer (cut out from it's white […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Marble drop earrings. Sculpted from epoxy putty. The "gem" was created by painting a hole silver then filling it with "water effects". I also attepted the paint them as red marble for a change. #jewellery #earrings #marbledrop #drh

Revilers Space Marine. Wanted to make use of one of these swords I was gifted and decided to make this chap all melee. Plus, I used bits from the 2010s all the way back to the '90s, just for fun. I can't remember why I chose Revilers, but that is a freehand […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Primaris Intercessors Squad A. From the Dark Imperium box set. I painted these up in a unque paint scheme to make them stand out (and allow anyone to add them to their army), and left space for a chapter symbol to be added later. Then gave them custom made […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Celestial Azure earrings. Making use of the smaller attachment point of the backs by sculpting in deep cuts to the shape of these. And then painting them with a colour-shift paint to accent the shape. #earrings #jewellery #colourshift #celestialazureearrings #drh

Video editing update. Part 6 of my "How I build in Fallout 4" series is now over 2 hours and has 581 notes. I have decided that this will not be the final part, as cramming in another 5 hours of recording into this 1 video might be too much. So, 3.5 hours will […] [Original post on dice.camp]

You can't cast shadow without light... #silentsunday

More junk, a painting of a junk. Dollshouse scale painting based on a photo I found online. Plus a little stand I knocked up from cast sprue offcuts. Enamel paint on polyurethane. 50 x 40mm. #art #landscape #painting #dollshouse #junk #drh

Cupcake earrings. I sculpted/carved many of those swirls to get a pair that looked just right. For scale, these are ~6mm across and you can see the typical earring backs in the photos. #cupcake #earrings #drh

Robin Earrings. Cut from plasticard and hand-painted. #earrings #art #birds #robin #drh

Little statue. This statue was based on a foot-tall statue (with an umbrella) that the recipient owned. This one is only 60mm tall. Sculpted in epoxy putty, with a plasticard fan. #statue #sculpture #art #littlestatue #drh

A pair of pairs of earrings, on the theme of purple. The first pair are "gems". Painted as you would any gem on a model. The other pair are sculpted and painted to be pansies. #earrings #gems #flowers #pansies #drh

Brass sculpture. Except it's not brass. Sculpted in epoxy putty and painted to look like brass. Japanese lady perching on a tree stump. Stands ~50mm tall. #sculpture #art #brasslady #drh

Han in Carbonite. Built / sculpted at 1:20th scale. The box was made from plasticard and Han was sculpted on top in epoxy putty. I even made a little display stand. #starwars #hanincarbonite #scalemodel #propreplica #carbonite #drh

The Luggage mimic. I realised recently that Pratchett's Luggage is basically a mimic. So I merged the ideas and made one. #theluggage #discworld #mimic #Scratchbuilt #drh

I've not worked on my "how I build in Fallout 4" video for a while, due to overlapping medical woes. I will return to it in time. While you wait, here's the 2nd largest settlement I built and the most popular video tour; The Castle. #fallout #fallout4 #thecastle #settlementtour #drh 📽️ […]

"In summary, our investigation has revealed the inherent complexity of this system." That's the best way I've ever read of saying "none of this worked"! 🧪 #chemsky

Star Trek TOS Type-2 phaser. 1:1 scale prop replica, built from scratch, with display base. The basic form was constructed in wood, which was then skinned with plastic and putty. #startrek #propreplica #Scratchbuilt #phaser #type2phaser #drh

Flying Kroot. One thing I learnt about Kroot was that they take on features of the creatures they eat. What happens if you feed them birds? And further to that, my answer to how would a kroot with wings handle a gun... Sculpted wings, re-posed legs, cut off feet […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Objective marker. Just to use a few little fun items, create a little story point for my army/collection, and give myself an objective marker for the future when I might actually play the game. As part of my army's theme, it depends on looting battlefields etc […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Samurai. To pair with the sword-baring geisha I sculpted this samurai. Sculpted in epoxy putty and standing ~60mm tall. #samurai #sculpture #drh

Wave Serpent. This became a large project to add it to my army/collection. Modified interior, re-built turret, scratch-built engines with access hatches, sculpted nose to make it sleeker and much more. #waveserpent #eldar #warhammer40k #drh

Red-spotted purple butterfly earrings. Based on the Limenitis arthemis butterfly. Cut from plasticard and hand painted (I used neither red or purple paint in the process). #butterfly #earrings #jewellery #art #redspottedpurple #drh

Deinobot. Or Dino-bot if you prefer. Based on Deinonychus as if it were in Horizon Zero Dawn. Scratchbuilt with a few odd kit parts thown in. #dinobot #deinobot #Scratchbuilt #dinosaur #deinonychus #horizonzerodawn #drh

Tau Ethereal. An Ebay rescue of a lone Tau Firewarrior from a mixed bag of mini' things. Rather than just restore him to a Firewarrior, I chose to elevate him from the poorly-glued and thickly-painted situation I found him in... And made an Ethereal. Adding […] [Original post on dice.camp]

UFO Abduction. After seeing a lamp or something online, I had to make one for myself. Mainly using some of my junk and a tiny (1:160) cow I had on hand. With a battery inside, you can place the top half in one of 2 positions and either light the tractor beam or […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Helmet. I cast this 1:6 scale F1 helmet in carbon fibre while on a work placement from school. While we weren't meant to be paid for the work experience placements, I got ~£50 of carbon fibre and free tickets to the practice and qualifying sessions of the […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Noxious Blightbringer. Modified from the stock model found in the Dark Imperium box set. Some fixes to casting limitations, and a reposing of the arms and chains around the back. Plus I moved the nurgling to be walking alongside like a small child. #Warhammer40k […] [Original post on dice.camp]
