  • New Etsy Product – Vehicle bases

    New Etsy Product – Vehicle bases

    Adding a few new designs to the Etsy collection, as I slowly increase my options. This time it is a set of Vehicle and Terrain bases I designed, since I don’t care for the “free” vehicle placement. Basically, in Bolt Action, infantry figures have a 1 inch base, artillery and heavy weapons have bases of…

  • Pass Tokens

    Pass Tokens

    Its an older design, but I refreshed and cut a few new pass tokens for Star Wars Legion. Nothing particularly fancy, but with the newer edition, players can frequently have multiple passes, rather than just one. Thus new tokens required. Each is cut from 5mm MDF with a 2 inch diameter, making them small enough…

    Legion Points of Interest

    I have a set of basic 3d printed marker “disks” that we have been using for Star Wars Legion since the 2.6 update. These are functional and work – they are highly visible with the green on the white background design. However, they are also just flat tokens, and rather boring. After the first few…

  • German Panzer III

    German Panzer III

    Continuing my painting of armor for the Bolt Action game, I finished up the first batch. They came out a bit darker than I expected, which is fine, I think they look pretty good – I just have imagined the final result to be brighter. I did do some basic dry brushing at the end…

  • Distractions

    Distractions

    Scheduling has been very difficult in the last couple of weeks, putting my battle reports well behind schedule. Between fall sports, band activities, and real-life concerns like work, there has not been much time for group activities, though that is hopefully changing back after the end of October. In the meantime, I have been hard…

    Wargame Widgets

    If you play tabletop strategy games, you likely know the challenge of identifying different squads of infantry. Either the models are the same build, the weapons are similar, or the painting is similar, and when the units get bunched together, it is hard to separate which soldiers go with which squad. Or you don’t have…

  • Reinbeer Flight

    Reinbeer Flight

    Since apparently my plan for slate and cork coasters is on hold due to indefinite shipping delays for the blanks at Amazon, I focused in on my Reindeer Flight gift box design instead. This is something I made last year for the wife as a give-away to family, designed to hold 6 festive bottles of…

  • New Product Lines

    New Product Lines

    With the new laser, I am looking into alternate product lines. I have revised and renewed a couple older projects, but I am looking at several designs for drink coasters as an expansion. I have always been entertained by various designs, typically meme-inspired. And with a faster and more capable laser, I am having a…
