  • Legion – Stormtroopers

    Continuing the Star Wars Legion theme, I have the first of several future Stormtroopers, assembled and painted by my son and newest adept. He has done some painting here and there over the last couple of years, but only recently has really had a lot of desire. With our current home transition, I opted to…

  • Legion – Taun Tauns

    Second of my recent painting spurt, this time Rebel Taun Tauns. Again, the painting color options were rather limited to just a starter set, so the details got a bit muddy. I was also going for less of a wintry design, with a basic concept that Taun Tauns might be transplanted to a non-Hoth world.…

  • Legion – Dewbacks

    Been doing some painting with my son, assembling and applying some paint to various Star Wars Legion figures. This is made easy given our temporary freedom between homes, though my gear options are limited. At the start, we picked up a basic painting starter set for George, so that he could dive in and start…

  • Vacation time

    Well before this Covid-19 pandemic, this weekend was scheduled to be a bit of a break from work. The wife and older son were going to be in Florida at Disney, and my younger son had our own plans. I had planned for next week to be a vacation from work, to get several projects…

  • The Dragon Pillar

    As part of my video prep for the latest Age of Ashes session, I finished up the painting of the Dragon Pillar terrain piece I was working on. As mentioned previously, this is less “dragon” and much more “tiki”, mixing up the various cultures, but for our gaming purposes this was solid replacement. Painted, it…

  • Miniature Monday – Clorehaven Barn

    Doubt I will be able to maintain it, but going to try to prepare and display terrain and miniatures on a regular schedule, tentatively on Mondays. In concept, these will include a timelapse of the printing process, along with at least a final painting of the figure, terrain piece, or assembly. Again, I expect I…

  • Zenithal Highlighting

    I am no stranger to miniature and terrain painting, but admittedly my technique is fairly traditional (and likely outdated). With my recent acquisition of an airbrush, I am trying to learn and take advantage of the new processes – hopefully to streamline and improve my painting. Basically, my current process is paint a primer, and…

  • Building the Barn

    After my successful long print of the Watchtower, my second big project has been the Clorehaven Barn. Similar in design and theme, this is being printed as several long pieces as well – some of the job tasks running 36+ hours. So far, it has been successful – I am done with the majority and…
