Geared up to teach classic and alphastrike battletech at tabletop oahu con. Got my first draft of the battletech hawaiian islands shirts logo designed by the amazing @bishopsteiner.bsky.social if your on oahu checkout the convention center for tabletop con! tabletopoahu.com. #battletech #ttocon

Finished up the forces for tabletop oahu con, to say i half assed rushed these would be an understatement at least they look good from far away! clan wolf epsilon galaxy and jade falcon delta galaxy #battletech #jadefalcon #clanwolf #miniaturepainting

So need to do alot of painting for my tabletop oahu con started the day setting up the airbrush - find out the iwata eclipse is bubbling back (all the parts are new and replaces fml) that airbrush has been noting but problems. Had to go to some backups #battletech #miniaturepainting

- my pug vader - my cat banshee - seeing other people happy - brownies - finding time to play a tabletop game

Got some airbrushing in this morning trying the new gaahleri kelido primers and one of the automotive paints. #gaahleri #battletech #miniaturepainting

Finally getting a day to get my mind off stuff playing some alpha strike with the unpainted mechs #battletech #alphastrike

I havent painted in awhile been way too busy so exhausted on weekends. Hoping to change that this weekend, i actually organized my paints though that should help me alot #miniaturepainting

100% the vshojo bosses search history contain the words non-extradition treaty

The early 80s were wild we had all the early anime and live action shows from japan subtitled here on tv in hawaii

youtu.be/TW20vbZt1xY?... How an island across the world influenced alot of our island here!

Did aome work this weekend, base steps for my 6th lyran guard and diamond shark alpha galaxy, cleaned up the oil wash and matt varnished the fleshhounds as my test. Was dissapointed in the vallejo matt varnish :( gotta go looking for another brand. #minaturepainting #battletech

I was going to do some painting today but i f’d my shoulder up bad :(

So i want to practice oil washes, i fugures best do that on old warhammer minis i dont care as much and not my btech minis in case i fuck it up, diddnt wanna spend too much effort on it so got speed paints, am pretty happy pre oil wash old school flesh hound #minaturepainting

I painted my speed paint toppers so i would know what the speed paints actually look like #minaturepainting

Just the bases left, 11th legion of vega tried doing chipping and weathering making them look like the dirty rats they are. Also i feel like i suck so bad at jeweling, i need to find a better way to do it. #kurita #battletech #minaturepainting

Pic isnt great and def need ti zoom but this is my first attempt at using foam to add weathering and chipping (only done the red areas so far) #battletech #minaturepainting

350 pt battle today - how it started how it ended (a jenner vs firemoth d both with onlg 1 is killing each other to end with all units dead) #battletech #alphastrike

Going through stuff in the storage room, looking for some minis incould practice oil washes on. Ended up finding my old fantasy and 40k stuff, painted 1st & 2nd ed demons lits still on sprues, big dsrk elf srmy in sprues and semi assembled. Saw the box with old blood angel army too far to get too.

Maybe my #miniaturepainting friends can help me out. A bit ago someone was showing off a device that looked like a claw grabber in a pen handle, they were using it to grab and hold foam to do weathering/chipping effects. Cant for the life of me find them now though

Tried to do some mini paint this past weekend and was really struggling realizing i need new glasses :( vision getting alot worse :( looking back i havent gotten new glasses or eye exam in 8 yrs , cause i couldnt afford new glasses even if i needed them.

Plan was to work on the kurita lance details/bases this weekend, but basing stuff got stuck in the east coast snow and work here has been so crazy im just lacking energy and motivation. I do have a diamond shark star primed so maybe i can get the energy to airbrush them #battletech

I spent my entire childhood in school learning how to add word count to everything I wrote to hit those artificial word count minimums in various assignments. Only now in my mid going on late 40s to have to learn how to do the exact reverse because of word count maximums in social media and other va

progress of legion of vega scout lance base coats done, prob gloss coat tmrw , then wash, details, weathering, etc next weekish #battletech #miniaturepainting #kurita

My view for my lunch and mini painting today all im missing is a beer.

Lunch break

Building up the red, i hate red so much needed too many layers made it a bit too bright but itll get muted when i get to washes and the limbs are going tp be grey anyway also the reds a pain to clean the airbrush for some reason #battletech #miniaturepainting #kurita

Starting progress of legion of vega scout lance #battletech #miniaturepainting #kurita

Going to try getting some base coating done on the next battletech lance today

Hey, just checked and I'm still overdrafted. Even $20 would really help right about now to avoid the fees.

Jacob Fatu really needs a Cameo cause valentines day is coming up and my fiance would love an "I love you XXXX" delivered by him.

Finished the bases and some highlights also tryingvthis mini photobooth i got on sale #battletech #smokejaguar #miniaturepainting

End of the year trying to finish some mechs. Two things i diddnt realize when i started today 1. Texture paint takes like 24 hrs to dry and 2. Pro acryl doesnt make fluroescent blue so had to use the purple for the large lasers and ppcs #battletech #miniaturepainting #smokejaguar

Every so often i remenber im not a total idiot and figured if i magnatize my bases first i can use an old baking sheet to varnish/prime and not worry about tape or putty falling and wet mechs dropping into the dirt matt coat & decals on, metallics next! #battletech #miniaturepainting #smokejaguars

Done for te day stars jaguar spots n base coatings done time for gloss coat then sometime this week wash, highlights, details, decals then matt coat n done #battletech #minaturepainting #smokejaguars

First try using an airbrush stencil tedious but looks good enough #battletech #minaturepainting #smokejaguars

Nice and sunny morning, new airbrush needle, ready to start on some smoke jaguar alpha galaxy today, #battletech #minaturepainting

My cats very cute, or very devious cause this is a trap. Maybe both

going to try and get started on my smoke jaguar alpha galaxy star (direwolf, warhawk,kingfisher,ebon jaguar, crossbow) this weekend, I want to practice my greys ,airbrush stencils and decals. After that its a DC legion of vega light lance, then maybe ill feel comfortable enough with reds for arano

Finally watching skeleton crew - im all in soon as I saw elephant boy.

My rankings for the 1st half of secret level - ill explain my thoughts in comments to avoid spoilers I mostly enjoyed every episode and give the series an overall B grade. 1. Armored Core 2. Unreal tournament 3. Dungeons & Dragons 4. Sifu 5. Warhammer 40k 6. Pac-man 7. Crossfire 8. New World

Age yourself with a movie that you saw in a theater as a kid youtu.be/1ODVyWqW4ps?...
