Battletech Kodiak model in canon colors, tan with blue trim

Continued WIP, a Kodiak in canon colors, Raven Alliance Delta Garrison Galaxy. Fuzzy in the background, a Timberwolf and Hunchback IIC queued up for the same treatment.

I'm so stoked about these models!

The resin vat to my printer, now with shiny new, blue, film gasket.

Replacing the FEP on my resin printer, dislodged a gasket that stretched and would not go back in. Found a file, printed a new one in TPU!

@kitbash-chaos.bsky.social designed a new flier for the Colorado grimdark crowd.

If you're in the Rocky Mountain area (Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, I'm looking at you) get in touch!

Got together to play #Shadowdark at an FLGS last week. The caster fumbled a spell, as one does.

The group divided as the caster rolled on the Wizard Mishap Table...

The #dungeonsanddragons players were cheering for the most favorable result.

The #morkborg players were cheering for the worst.

In production mode!

HOBBY CLASSIFIEDS @ EVERYONE bit.ly/3Ywa9si

You're so great at capturing such character in your models 😍

I'd be stoked to work with local artists and make molds for them as well.

Between the bounty hunter, the stone oven, the doors and the mold currently curing, I'm starting to see a hint of a catalog. Maybe I'll put up a shop? Nobody would want these, but it's good practice, and since it's cast to order, there's no overhead.

Since I work from home, it's pretty easy to slip away from time to time to make another cast, at least when the weather is warm. I figure I can't make all of the mistakes I need to learn from if I'm not at least somewhat dedicated.

Another mold is in the works, curing as we speak.

Silicone mold for my alien bounty hunter

First cast!

First cast! There are issues, but these have been addressed in subsequent casts.

Moar copies!

Some of you have seen this on other platforms, but I wanted to update here. I’ve continued to make casts of f this and a couple of other models I’ve been working on. Arriving at a workflow.

Good things come in boxes from Nottingham

Mechs by Gardens of Hecate

Rossy’s goblins are so great!

Woke up to a package from Nottingham! Goobinsgitz Trolls, mechs by @gardensofhecate.bsky.social goblins by Rossy Does Drawings, and some Gaslands armor and bits, all from @ramshacklegames.bsky.social

You will be missed

Your shipment from Wargames Atlantic is on the way.

I feel a #turnip28 regiment coming on.

Foam core, corrugated craft paper and pizza boxen become shipping containers

I know it’s pretty basic stuff, but I’m having a lot of fun building up a library of terrain. WIP shipping containers for #cyberpunkredcombatzone or #minigangs or #killsampleprocess

@ramshacklegames.bsky.social

These are the @ramshackle_games @pierre_bunk kickstarter goblins! Gorgeous sculptures and casts I’m excited to get these based and painted. I feel a #cauldronskirmish war band coming on!

We're looking for MÖRK BORG game masters for an event in Copenhagen from April 25th to 26th.
Requirements: Familiarity with MB or the ability to somewhat confidently fake it. And not being a dick.
It's not required, but you'll enjoy the event more if you like extreme metal, tattoos and Danish beer.

The black angel is so cool, though I do chuckle at his “Ha ha!” Jump

Gaslands mayhem!!

My first Turnip28 game

Had a great weekend at GenghisCon this weekend! Lots of #battletech, #gaslands and scheduled RPGs, with many pickup games of #voidadmiral #forbiddenpsalm and #turnip28 in between

Pulling together a couple of last minute fleets to try playing #voidadmiral at #genghiscon this weekend

I love this star so much. I put the Warhammer IIC and Behemoth in my Raven Alliance battle star. The Behemoth is so fun to paint, probably one of my top 10 favorite looking mechs!

An AlphaStrike battlefield featuring Raven Alliance and Clan Ghost Bear mechs

One last practice game before @genghisconcolorado . I still utterly lack any tactical skills, but the Raven Alliance will look excellent in defeat.

Here come the bots

Wrapping up a two-car team for a #gaslands event later this month.

Don’t leave your silicone under vacuum while curing.

Finally warm enough to cast! Well, almost, we’ll see if these set properly. First try with the door molds I made last month, and an oven not shown.

It’s been a relatively light hobby week. Current short term goal is to finish these Raven Alliance mechs for an #alphastrike tournament at GenghisCon later this month.

I bought this book in London on my way home last fall. One of my kids snagged it before I could read it (proud dad) and has been going on about it. Next on my reading list.
