Getting some miniatures painted
October 18, 2025 at 3:29 PM
Got in a learning game of The Barons’s War with Reconquista troops painted mostly by Rob Schmitt, with some basing work and tweaking by me.

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you.

Yesterday I painted up the cobblestone mat I made last year and did a layout for Guards of Traitor’s Toll with it. It’s only 2’ x 3’ so I need to do another 1’ x 3’ to fill the table without using something else. Followed techniques from a Black Magic Craft video-rubber mat, caulk, texture roller.

A simple, little dungeon is the last finished map in that notebook. I did quite a few in this stone barrow style. #dungeonmaps #dndmaps

Another D&D map I drew in the teens. Heavy on the underground river theme.

Came across this map I made about 10 years ago while looking through an old graph paper book. #d&dmaps #oldschooldnd #dungeonmaps

Woke up crazy early, couldn’t get back to sleep, so got up and put some more paint on this Victorian. It’s coming along.

Put some time in on minis and some on terrain today

Steampunk city table in progress, mostly primed. Unprimed black roof in foreground will have the rest of building printed over the next week or so. A few more buildings to print and a lot of painting to do before skirmish gaming commences on it this summer.

Robotics competition action at Berkeley High

Working on smoothing out some misprinted pipes with a mix of sanding and filling until they look good enough to paint them up as corroded to explain the remaining irregularities.
March 30, 2025 at 9:26 PM
Some base work remains to do.
March 29, 2025 at 5:05 PM
I can play Dino Barbs too!

Old metal mini getting some paint. Don’t remember who made him. Will have to look at the bottom of the base once I peel him off the painting holder. One of a batch of “big barbaric fantasy Scots”. Maybe Reaper?

February 19, 2025 at 6:37 PM
#DunDraCon 2 PM Friday, Xenos Rampant Space 1889 in the miniatures room. Players wanted.

Space 1889 Martian lady armed with a revolver from Earth. I designed her in Titanforge with a Pulp Alley scenario in mind, printed her and finished up the painting today. Have a few more Martian civilians in the works.
