    Mandalorian and Elf

    Took a break from building this weekend to paint up a couple of 3D printed busts. Both were supportless models printed at .05 mm on my modified Lulzbot Taz 5 with Matter Hackers Build PLA. Primed, and painted with Army Painter Speed Paints and then regular acrylics. First off is the...

    Silveroxide Memorial build, Super Chimera

    After getting the news of Silveroxide's passing this morning, I decided to build one of his designs to honor his memory. I found Zealot after discovering his work on the 40k forum Dakkadakka. This his Super Chimera. I had started a thread earlier, however I found I probably deleted it...

    Tank track jig and tutorial video

    YouTube from TinkerTerrain's channel from over 10 years ago. While he used Evergreen platicard stock, I suspect his track jig (for a scratchbuilt Baneblade tank for 40K no less...) would work in paper as well. I might have to make one...

    1:35 scale Exoframe Armored Trooper

    I have hobby ADHD or something... In the middle of my papercard M113 build, I started a plastic kit from the Sunrise anime series Obsolete. Well, sort of... You see, they made one of their Exoframe kits (Good Smile) a tribute to Armored Trooper Votoms. Here is my build so far.

    M113 style APC Build

    Finally got around to starting the Patoroch version of the M113 APC inspired, counts as, Classic Rhino. Started it a few nights back and for the main hull started and modified with some supports and some openings I intend to put crew into. Not quite ready to do a super detailed interior or...

    Alpha Strike (Battletech)!

    I got together with @drtetrode this last weekend and taught him Alpha Strike. It's a simplified variation Battletech allowing for larger forces on the table and faster games. He had map sheets instead of terrain, so we used the rules for converting inches to hexes for moving and range. Worked...

    Battletech campaign company

    My local game group is starting a Chaos Campaign (freebie from the Catalyst website). So me being me, I 3D printed and painted all new mechs. First off, is the Phoenix Hawk jumping off of its kill, a luckless Javelin mech!

    Dorf Pirates, by Bob Naismith

    Back when my Mars 2 Pro was working... I printed A LOT of models. Now that I have issues with it... My painting backlog is getting tackled. Trade-offs! These are a trio of Bob Naismith designs I received when I was a Patreon Member a few months back. They are "Dorfs" but you can guess the...

    Mad Robot Goatboys (counts as Beastmen in space...)

    Mad Robot Miniatures Goatmen heads (HH-106), Tribal Torsos (HT-09), Goatmen Legs (HL-22), and Lykan Close Combat Arms (HA-06). Finally got these painted up, in spite of a bad primer job they turned out great! Not contest entry great, but still good looking models. Harkening back to the days when...

    Ah yes... Learning...

    So, I replaced my LCD (2k monochrome) print area screen on my Elegoo Mars 2 Pro. First print went off without a hitch. Last five have ended up like this one... Got some queries in the Elegoo forums, but all my searches have come up empty as what this issue might be. I've double checked my...

    Bob Naismith Designs, Enesis Trooper Squad

    More Enesis Troopers from Bob Naismith (the guy who sculpted the first Space Marines for Citadel Miniatures back in the 80's). 3D printed on my Elegoo Mars Pro 2.

    So... I got into resin printing recently...

    My first large bust (about 1/8th or 1/10th scale) bust of a "Warrior of the Greater Good" from MyMiniFactory. Printed on my brand new Elegoo Mars 2 Pro SLA resin printer and painted with acrylics. Jaw dropping what this thing can do. Though, the print area is small. It is unlikely to replace...

    Sorry, I couldn't resist.... ...great meme, and I figured Zealot folks will love it! Okay, back to normal stuff!

    1999 Robots, Megatron!

    I couldn't resist my five year old's request to build him a paper robot action figure. So I dug around the web and found 1999robots. The files and blog are still there on Wayback Machine. A good Saturday morning build!

    XTRKCAD V5.x.x... Anyone use it?

    I just downloaded XtrkCAD and started using it. Partly because Kato ceased producing a good old fashioned drawing template! I have a 4' x 8' surface my wife wants to build a layout on, N-scale Kato Uni-Track. As an AutoCAD power user, this program drives me nuts. I'm sure once I figure out...

    Dr_Tetrode is down for a bit.

    Well, I have good/bad news. Bad news is @dr_tetrode is recovering in a hospital away from the wonderful Valkyrie he was working on. I'm sure he will post updates upon his return to the workbench when his health allows... Good news is that he seems to be recovering as best is expected. Some...

    Next couple of special projects...

    Given current events, I picked up this special decal sheet from Fallout Hobbies as well as some free StL files with similar doors for the Rhino and Landraiders. The Classic Space Marine pauldrons they provided didn't print so well on my fillament printer, but if you have a resin printer they...

    https://www.instructables.com/Building-a-Paper-or-Card-Stock-Armored-Vehicle-for/ So, I've finally created a tutorial based on my experiences in papercraft modeling since 2018 when I stumbled into Zealot tracking down the Patoroch models Silveroxide was building and posting on DakkaDakka...

    Battletech, where my miniature wargaming started...

    ...and where my 3D printing is presently focused! So, I've 'retired' my starter box that I acquired in the late 90's. I had all the components still, and reloaded them into this box and put it on a high shelf for display only. After all, I now have the new Catalyst Game Labs Introductory box...
