Been busy doing up some 1/100 French vehicles...

side project to keep me busy- another designer had made a cool RT era Dreadnaught and I converted it into a 1/18 scale version with ball and socket and hinge joints to go with my Joy Toy figures... (ball/socket version of the files are unavailable as I dont own the rights to the OG model- sorry)

Not been posting lately as I took the week off my next project and farted around with a pet project of a friend (turn a stl figure he had into an action figure with ball and socket joins). In all honesty Im not sure Im going to enjoy social ANYTHING much less media seeing the state of the world...

You too can try #Titanomachina for free with a copy of Tabletop Simulator: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

Got the basic set finished

A mech that I sculpted. #miniatures #tabletopgames #wargaming #mech

So I mostly post about my art here. But every now and then I also share about things that matter to me or those I love. No apologies for that.

nyc went from “mask up” to “you do you” to “masks need to be banned” and now people think this is a joke.

Another mini comic strip I did as a test of concept

‪“Hospitals are killing patients because they don't feel like doing infection control.‬ ‪We know COVID is fully airborne. ‬ ‪We know how to control airborne disease. ‬ ‪So why are vulnerable people still dying of hospital-acquired COVID?”‬ #CovidisAirborne www.thegauntlet.news/p/hospitals-...

just insane. Reviewing a paper on covid in Canada that finds an 11-fold increase in risk of hospitalization in the month after infection. Just absolutely bonkers. I've been doing respiratory virus epi for a long time, and we really don't trade in statistics like "relative risk = 11"

Starting my next Kickstarter project - 1/100 scale Near Modern France - soldiers with FAMAS rifles

My take on a iconic character. I wouldnt say he is my hero, I think if anything my 'hero' of that genre setting would be either Doc Hammer or Jackson Publick - love what they created

Another one of my short comics- these were more tests of concept than actual stories. My previous comics were done by shooting the physical miniatures and then photo editing and I wanted to see if this was any easier (its not lol- both take substantial efforts to do)

Taking most of the month off work to spend my time with my wife as her health has really spiraled as of late. It means I dont have a whole lot of new content to display so I will be sharing some old images- this was a 3 figure set I did along with a variety of terrain elements

"The history of major infectious disease outbreaks in Canada is one of missed opportunity after missed opportunity, betting against the house in nature’s casino." Great one from @drhanwell.bsky.social @mark-ungrin.bsky.social et al #MedSky #IDSky #COVID #H5N1 canadahealthwatch.ca/2024/12/08/g...

Im dont identifying with any party-I identify with issues and the integrity around the things I value. I can honestly say I dont see much integrity in any party politics these days. Yes, some ARE much worse than others but the ideal amount of 'turds in a hot tub' is zero and thats what I support

Evidence is mounting that Elon Musk manipulated the X/Twitter algorithm to boost his own posts as well as those of prominent conservatives. I talk about a new pre-print, and whether or not BlueSky is our savior 🧪 skepchick.org/2024/12/is-e...

Explains a whole lot sadly :/ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Things I like: This bas-relief sculpture of a demon tickling someone’s tumtum.

"Most of the disabled people I know who have long Covid probably read more studies about it than most doctors." Whewww this whole article is great but a lot of y'all need to internalize this line. Yes, most of us know more than your doctor about long covid. That's not hubris talking. That's facts.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

For those not in the know this man is a Canadian Legend when it comes to understated comedy. He is doing live stand up now but looking into new projects (more on that in his post); I still watch Corner Gas and Corner Gas Animated daily for my morning chuckles :)

My sewing helper Obi-Wan has now become a hindrance. Sewing with a kitten around is always difficult. But this is getting a bit ridiculous. #kittens #cats

So I dont tend to link to my Gumroad site on these sorts of sites as I dont need the hassle or the bots- but if you are interested in 3d printing and/or the advent calendars comment below and I will message you with the links :)

When the pandemic started I began to work more with online content creators: This set is 1/100 scale so 18mm tall humans and thus the limbs needed to be thickened at scale so the figures are not frail.

Taking the month of from my Kickstarters and made two advent calendars instead...

Why won't I debate climate deniers? Debate WHAT! They offer no science, no evidence, no credible sources ... they just want to argue ... endlessly ... sharing lies, propaganda, and garbage ... claiming common sense disproves science. So, this is why I won't debate.

Bell 206B Helicopter for the 25th day of the advent calendar

Self portrait Me as my witchy self #oilpainting #witchery #witchsky

Flat Bed Tow Truck for the Advent Calendar

Generic Jeep for the advent calendar- making a 2 and 4 door is a simple 10 mins work so the extra chassis is a bonus

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network. As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Still plugging away at the Civilians and Vehicles Advent Calendar so its ready by Dec 1st- a City Bus in 1/100 scale

As it came up in another post- this is me and my wife roughly 4 years ago- I dont tend to have many pics of myself as I really dont see the point- most are self shot and thus use the Shrek filter every camera seems to have when in selfie mode

Final render of the Motorcycle options

Whenever I see a post by Jha I think he is trying to drive these T shirt sales:

One of the things I often do is Likeness works of people I know who have small businesses or are content creators. I work them into projects now and then :)

So im starting to get some Sus accounts following- dont post much other than a single photo and never seem to have any replies- or the replies are bot like. Im therefore creating a Sus account list of followers I will purge if the creepy bot behavior doesnt change ;)- not having that shite here

And of course a 'hog' because not everyone rides the zoomy bikes in 1/100 land...

At least a half a dozen folks have told me they are going to kitbash a Harvest Lupergirl, which is very cool. Haven't seen any in the wild yet, but it will be cool to see if they do. I probably should do one myself at some point :P #WarhammerCommunity

at 1/100 scale a lot of the little details need to be chunkified so they dont snap off the miniature... doing an Advent Calendar for civilian vehicles and pedestrians this yeaar

This is an excellent thread by David Putrino, one that I’d like to add to with my own personal and professional experience.
