    Going to be a busy next couple of weeks, as I prepare for our upcoming Magic: The Gathering tournament.  I still have to finish up the last pieces of the trophy I have been working on, in between what seems to be nearly constant rain.  In addition, my trips to Toledo are more numerous, limiting…

    First half of the paint rack project is together, consisting of 3 printed sections.  Obviously still need to sort an organize the colors themselves, but wanted to collect what I have so far together.  I am still working on the rest of the stands, and likely will need a lift of some sort for the…

    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…
