5 out of 8 of the Trench Crusade plastic minis painted up. For all of the head swaps I’ve done, I went with bright, unnatural hair color… although the glockenspiel one was blonde. I wanted the flamethrower tip to be a brighter orange than her hair, but decided that one bright focal point was better.

It’s only polite to maintain eye contact with Peekles. No need for your gaze to go any lower. Peekles is just one goblin.

Fourth Trench Crusade plastic miniature completed. The head is from @statuesque.bsky.social and this one has a ponytail - this is the least blurry image of the pictures I took of this mini. I don’t have immediate access to a resin printer, so I like that the plastic kits are available as an option.

The third Trench Crusade figure I’ve completed. Kitbashing is my favorite part of the hobby. The original helmets in the box are really great (I’ll use them another time), but I like seeing the faces on my war dollies. Eyes are a challenge, but once I get them painted on, I breathe a sigh of relief.

The second, head-swapped, Trench Crusade miniature that I’ve painted up. Head from @statuesque.bsky.social Paints by Citadel and @thearmypainter.bsky.social I’m envious of painters that can do the smooth blends, but I had fun painting the stark highlights and little scratches of color on this mini.

The game would also need hilarious items to use on fellow Go-bolds.

I’m slowly painting up the @trenchcrusade.bsky.social plastic kit. This is the first one I’ve mostly finished. They’re a great size and fun to paint. I was originally going to go with a bright, clashing color scheme, but diverted into a dark, scratchy style. The head is from @statuesque.bsky.social

@thearmypainter.bsky.social @mengelminis.bsky.social Dark Olive goes in every project I paint, on par with how cranberries are in every juice. Medieval guards? Dark Olive on the boots. Sci-fi terrain? Monitors get a coat of Dark Olive. Green grass? Apply some Dark Olive on the dirt it grows out of.

I have a zero AI policy. Do not contact me if you use AI art. I will not work with or support games, companies & etc who use it. No this isn’t a “I hate ai because it’s cool too” post. This is an I’m an artist, environmentalists, and I’ll use my own brain, post. I prefer humans and real art.

coming soon! more from our Otherworld acquisitions, just four of the expanding range of rubble adventurers...

There have been a few pretenders trying to be Charadon Granite, but if what @mengelminis.bsky.social is saying is true: the elusive king has been reborn as Army Painter’s Historical Dark Olive. I’ve searched for over a decade, and hoped against hope. I trust Tyler’s judgment and will buy this paint.

With the @northstarfigs.bsky.social Automaton painting contest finished up, I wanted to upload my entry here. This was the first online painting contest I entered, and if North Star has more contests, I’ll likely enter again. Next time, I’m not waiting until last minute - one day prior is too close!

Started a 3d print of a small medieval house. First “major” print. If it prints without issues, it’ll be used in Guards of Traitor’s Toll. If it doesn’t print great, it’ll still be perfect for a destroyed house in something like Mordheim, Five Leagues from the Borderlands, or Rangers of Shadow Deep.

Also, thanks to The Painter’s Portal for their step-by-step video on photographing mins!

Thanks to @peachytips.bsky.social for his Five Parsecs from Home video which encouraged me to finish up my crew for the @modiphius.bsky.social competition before it ends on July 30.

#FiveParsecsCrewComp @modiphius.bsky.social The crew of the Grey Tabby. They take on jobs for corporate entities, but every job always ends up helping the downtrodden more than their original employers. They’re not really sure why it keeps happening, but they get paid just enough to keep flying.
