A geeky girl with an interest in reading and writing among other things.
I like playing computer games, including action games, RTS, turn based strategy and some RPG.
I also build and paint miniatures (I don't play games with them, just collect them).
I have done my own poor sculpts and some 2 part moulds to cast bodies out of milliput, as I don't have the materials to make better 2 part moulds that I could use with liquid resin or something similar, but having something like a plastic kit for bodies would be easier.

This is one of those hobbies where practices makes a big difference. Although I am far from being a great painter it is noticeable how much I have progressed and I think that is the natural progression. Keep it up!

Thank you!

I have built some conversions with cast resin bodies but those are expensive. I have some miniatures with 3d printed bodies, but unless you have a printer that is also difficult to get (I don't have one), so I am hoping that one day some company will invest more on cheap conversion parts.

For example some of the stargrave kits that I have build have around 20 heads per sprue and around 15 sets of arms, so if instead of 5 bodies I had 15 I would be able to get 3 times the models. I have made some conversions with bodies made with milliput but it is not the same as a proper plastic one

Thank you! I still have a few other Stargrave and Frostgrave kits to paint in my queue. I just build them too fast :D

The crew is looking quite nice :)

I should add that I mean in the sense of making some tiles for myself that I can turn into a larger board but that are easier to handle while painting, as painting large stuff can be problematic, especially when your arms aren't that long.

If only I could have my own house and in particular a really nice big house like I have in Sims 4 I would be pretty happy.

I will keep that in mind but I usually try to get all minis from within the EU due to customs as I have had some issues with customs while I was in college that I prefer to avoid.

I have been mostly getting minis from other companies rather than GW lately as I don't really play so the source of my minis is not too important.

It is meant to be a proxy for the goliath truck/rockgrinder but I don't play so for me it would mostly just be part of a group of miners/rebels.

I am likely going to get it from one of the stores that sell 3d printers as I don't have a printer. Still not sure when though as that depends on spare money and similar concerns.

I am thinking about getting one or more of this when I have the spare money as I have seen it listed on a shop that does 3d prints, but you are right their designs are pretty nice.

It is meant to give some support to my lonely goliath truck. I do have some converted pickups and similar stuff but something similar to a goliath would be nice, but they got so expensive since I got the one I currently own.
