Some (arguably) better photos of the rabbit minis I finished off last night. Really quite happy with this one. If anything, the sword blade might need a touch up to push some contrast, but otherwise looking really good! #minis #miniatures #paintingminis #rabbit #ipaintminis #nerdlings #ttrpgs

A new take on the Demi Trainer. Re-shot in the photo booth to better capture the urban/night camouflage and the light sponge chipping for weathering.

デミトレーナーを市街地・夜間迷彩仕様。フォトブースにて再撮影。 スポンジチッピングで軽くウェザリング。

#ScaleModel #gunpla #ガンプラ #Mecha #Plamo
HD Demi Trainer, front view. Urban/Night camouflage pattern applied to some parts. Light preshading on white parts. Sponge chipping as weathering, keeping it light. HG Demi Trainer, action pose, as if advancing with its baton for close combat. The head antenna was relocated to the side. Head unit was top coated while disassembled to preserve visor shine. Marking decals from a Tamiya Panzer II kit. HG Demi Train in a shooting stance. The sensor unit is the original sticker and shines brightly.

Comment below what One Page Rules model you want to see turned into a bust.

We have a guide coming out soon on how to turn your 28mm minis into epic busts like this high elf fleet model.

I haven't been posting art as much lately, I hope to have more to share soon. Here's a crow for today who feels relevant to the past few weeks.

I've currently got three artists and two sculptors working on *real* stuff at the minute, putting money in the pockets of people who have bills to pay. No shareholders, no billionaires, no slop. Pay your artists. While we're at it, pay sex workers too.

Pass it fucking forward.

Undead aristocracy, a vampiric Dancer of Darkness who guard the important ruins where the necromancer has his lair and workshops. She‘d also make a great vamp for other games or RPG’s. She’s brand spanking new from @fenrisgames.com and sculpted by @mad-elf.bsky.social and also the marsh zombies.

I'm a big fan of anime, and started watching the live-action of this... But then found the anime and it was SO MUCH BETTER! Cool story, good music, just fun all around w/ no fan-service! Streaming on HiDive, give it a watch if you get the chance!

Some in-process treasure tokens. I plonked them onto stamped milliput bases. I think I'll be sticking to milliput from now on for these stamps, it holds definition a bit better than kneadatite /green stuff!

A casual workbench Friday. We are testing these modular display bases. You always see it with collections there at the same level, why not literally elevate your #miniatures. Available soon on our Patreon.
