    Still struggling to find a format for the creation of YouTube content, after numerous challenges and setbacks.  I have found that game play videos are simply too long and involved to make good content – they are rather dull to watch, take forever to edit down, and I don’t have the gear to make them…

    Another trip to Toledo, another round of updates to my work on our trophy for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering tournament.  Last time, I applied a base coat of black to the overall model, making it appear to be a large lump of tar.  This time, it was drybrushing the stone base with different shades…

    Several months ago, I posted about my project to craft and create a trophy for our annual Magic the Gathering tournament.  I managed to revisit this project this week, while I was spending time for work in Toledo.  Didn’t end up having as much time as I had hoped (we had a big outage to…

    Spent some time working with the 3d Printer, and building some tools for hopefully helping with the miniature painting.  In this case, it is a handle system, which should make it easier to hold unpainted figures, maneuver them around for better angles, and still be easy to swap out for bulk painting of several figures. …

    With a painted and otherwise complete set of True-Tiles in hand, we had our next session of Pathfinder on Sunday, reaching the climax of Chapter 4 of the Rise of the Runelords.  Unfortunately, I discovered I had not actually printed a large enough set, I still had several more to do before having enough to…

    I continue to produce the True-Tiles terrain, and although I have changed directions on the base pieces, the top pieces are just fine.  However, after my first batch, I realized that using Army Painter paints for the painting of this amount was not very cost effective – I nearly emptied my Dark Wash bottle, and…

    Managed to take time to paint up the first set of True-Tiles, consisting of 10 doors, 4 flat tiles, 5 single wall tiles and 5 corner tiles.  Total time, about 4 hours.

    Skipping my bi-weekly routine of painting zombies, quite simply because I have been unable to properly prime a new set of walkers.  The weather has been very cold, but more importantly either wet or snowy, or both, and I have no inside spot to use spray paint.  As such, I have to a wait for…
