    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…

    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…

    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…

    I am no stranger to miniature and terrain painting, but admittedly my technique is fairly traditional (and likely outdated).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…

    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…

    I finally decided to dive further into the painting hobby, and have ordered an Airbrush kit, to be delivered this week. Airbrushing, specifically for hobby gaming and painting, has been a casual interest of mine over the years, but was always intimidating. I am much more of a traditionalist, with brushes doing drybrushing and washes.…

    Continuing my diorama style thumbnails for the Age of Ashes episodes, highlight some of the terrain and painted figures. Planning on adding a few of the group’s painting efforts, once I can hold on to them post game, but for now it is rather basic. This does however give me the opportunity to continue my…

    Been spending time painting the recently acquired squad of wookies, including Chewbacca. It is rather entertaining, trying to come up with unique styles and patterns for each piece, while still maintaining continuity. Not really sold yet on the blonde wookie – I may have chosen a bit too much yellow in the color. Hopefully this…
