I will get back to painting mechs soon. But the fdm 3d printer has been a whole new world of crstivity for me. The second Borealis dropship is nearing completion. I have made paint racks and a whole lot of other things. Loving a new hobby. And really excited about the various dice boxes as well

Pretzelwolf Breweries has long had a special place in my heart. What my wife and I have done has been great. Now, it has a special place on my body. Right calf to be specific.

My tattoo artist told me one of the other people in her shop, who helps guide her a lot, wanted an ink bottle storage rack. The last wedge of the hexagon is printing and the base is ready. Next step will be securing plastic to wood, after paint dries.

My recent tattoo has been touched up. Can't wait to see how the color pops when I heal. My Shadowrun/Heraldry arm is basically complete.

It is kind of difficult to see. But this has been my most recent bottle of CA glue before hobby work. Been using it since last fall. I have ALMOST managed to eek every ounce of this bottle out, without the normal calamitous endings these bottles see. I am proud of this.
