We are starting to get a little more colorful.

#hobbystreak day 19 Extreme Close up edition! I didn't have a lot of time today so I focused on the head and pelt a bit. I know it's really rough, but I kind of like it. It's a really cool sculpt.

#hobbystreak day 18. More sketching tonight. I was trying to figure out how light might fall on him and thinking about where the reflections and highlights go.

#hobbystreak day 17. Kinda just doodling on this guy to figure some stuff out. I'll probably aim for something closer to the box art but for now I'm just having fun with it.

Showing the world some cool shit from back when I did printmaking. I'd print to wood in honor of my jerky namesake who was pressed to death around the corner from my house.

#hobbystreak day 16 my brother got me this for Christmas last year. I intend to give it back to him this Christmas, painted. I did this with Grotmas Gits last year too.

#hobbystreak day 15 and I am finished, at last, with the first squad of death riders. I think I learned a lot on this project, but I'll be glad to take a breather from horses for a little while.

#hobbystreak day 14 mounted the death riders and this tech priest on the bases I've been working on. Death riders need a bit more work to finish them off, but I expect they'll be done tomorrow
November 18, 2025 at 10:13 PM
#hobbystreak day 13. Stained and dry brushed I think I'm ready to mount the miniatures. This was pretty fun and easy so I'll definitely be doing it again!

#hobbystreak 12 traditionally, I kinda suck at basing. So I'm stealing a trick from @mediocrehobbies.bsky.social and his trench bases (this one: youtu.be/uU0O7fi8qYg?... ) not finished yet though.

#hobbystreak day 11. I spent a truly ridiculous amount of time painting this one basic power sword, including practicing blending on an old yogurt lid. Gotta figure out what I'll do for bases now.

#honbystreak day 10. Little bits tonight. Horse lenses, Imperialis badges, few minor touches. Tomorrow I want to do the power sword and then I need to base the squad.

#hobbystreak day 9. So. My death rider fell apart when I went to pick it up tonight and I have spent tonight reassembling it. I also built this guy while I waited though.
November 13, 2025 at 10:54 PM
Mmmm new book day. As soon as I finish The Left Hand of Darkness I'll be tearing into these.

#hobbystreak day 8. I do rather enjoy painting the skull masks

#hobbystreak day 7, black ink over gray on the armor

#hobbystreak day 6 My lovely "horse" running through minefields, where are you going with your dewclaws glinting in the sun...
November 10, 2025 at 10:38 PM
#hobbystreak day 5 and I forgot that I usually do a layer of brown under the orange so this one is going to be a lot brighter than my other tiger-horses. Let's see if it works out.

#hobbystreak day 4 Back on the horse

Hello, it me, the #HobbyStreak guy.

Paint your models, or don't, I'm not your mum.

(But hobbystreaking can be a great way to get small, consistent, incremental progress on getting stuff finished. Give it a go!)

#hobbystreak day 3, and after dousing it with liquitex carbon black and dry brushing with various oranges and metallics I'm going to call this piece done. Nice quick one just to kick me off.

#hobbystreak day 2.

Giant pink make up brush makes short work of dry brushing the terrain piece.

#hobbystreak day 1 : took a break to fix my caffeine addiction and sleep schedule. Starting back in with a quick and dirty piece of terrain I've had on the pile for a few years
