Today I replaced the hard drive from the laptop with a bigger one and build the Lego Gameboy. That is such a great set. The Gameboy feels so good with all the buttons and stuff which have great haptic responses. Also the battery in the Zelda cartridge is a nice touch. 😄 #Lego

My mini made 2nd place in our little local paint group contest! 😄 It was discussed if I would be disqualified as my base could be seen as a diorama. 🤣 We had a lot of fun and everyone‘s submissions were great. We will do another contest next year. #miniaturePainting #Nerdlings

I haven’t shared the progress on the tree base. I added some“flying“ Leaves, which still need to get the glow painted onto. And I dabbled more with the OSL on the ground. Hopefully the effect comes off right. 😅 Still need to finish the sparrow warrior until Sunday. #miniaturePainting

I bought Dispatch and played it. Now I can’t wait until next week for the next two Episodes! 😄 It’s a great game (well more of an interactive series) with cool characters and interactions. Also choices. I will have to do more playthroughs. If you love story-driven games, like the Telltale

More progress on the tree base. For visualization I sprayed some OSL lighting on the base. After painting the mushrooms and plants, I applied static grass and flocking for leaves to the tree. #MiniaturePainting #Nerdlings #TerrainBuilding #paintingminis

I tried making my own leaves for the tree. Using coffee filter and spraying it with inks. Then using a leaf punch on them. The leaves look fine. But the punch doesn’t work very smoothly and I need a lot more for a tree that size. So I probably will use some flock for it. #Nerdlings

Work on the tree base was done. I did cover the wires with wood paste. But it was a bit stale so I added some basing paste. I also resin printed some shrooms and flora. Added it to the tree and base. Really works well on it. 😊 #3dPrinting #miniaturepainting #Nerdlings #TerrainBuilding

Last night was not for me. I wanted to work a little more on my contest piece of the sparrow warrior, and while painting the handle slipped from my hand and the mini went head first onto the concrete floor. 🤬😱 Oh and after that I caught the air Jose of my Aurhub Pro and sent my 3

I made like a tree… but didn’t leaf yet. 🤣 The sparrow warrior will need a base. So I build one. Now I am contemplating what to use for dressing the wire. Should I use some plaster? Milliput? Or texture paste? It should look like tree bark afterwards. #MiniaturePainting #Nerdlings

Our local mini-painting group „LuLa Pinselfreunde“ has a little fun painting contest running. It started in Sept. and goes until 16th Nov. I was pretty much clueless about what to do with the given mini. Now I have an idea but not much time. 😅 Started and here is my progress from the

My daughter has a lantern parade from her Kindergarten next week. They do a cart session with the parents and build a paper lantern. Today we did a dinosaur. But I am also working on a rocket for her. I found a model online and printed it in transparent PETG. Used some red ink for

Did I use hours of a painting session just for a straw hat and it decorative flower bouquet?! Yes, yes I did. The hat needed to be drybrushed with various colors, because the first try with some brown inks and skeleton horde didn’t look great. The flowers were kinda fun. Especially

Working on a backlog of figurines. One of a big vTuber with an orca theme. Here some pics of masking and painting the underside of the tail and the sand for the beach themed base. All done by airbrush so far. #vTuber #3dPrinting #Nerdlings #miniaturepainting #Figurines #airbrush

Ok, last week I did airbrush some stuff. Mostly my 3d printed figurines backlog. One of them is a Misato from NGE in her charming messy way. So for the base there is a table and lots of dirty dishes and trash. I am quite fond of how those turned out (Dirtying comes later). Also I got a new

I finished the 3d printed Hornet figurine. It was really fun and I love her design. If my masking game was better, I could have done her completely by airbrush. #HollowKnightSilkSong #Silksong #3dPrinting #Nerdlings #MiniaturePainting #airbrush

New Laptop, who dis? Caved and bought a new Laptop. Win11 setup pissed me off right at the start. First order of business: kick it off and install @pop_os_official ! 😁 #linux

The progress on Hornet from Silksong. This is the progress I made on stream last night. It was a good stream with a surprise raid at the end. Never had so many viewers there. It made me really happy. I hope to see some again. 😊 #HollowKnightSilksong #3Dprinting #miniaturePainting

I #3dPrinted Hornet from #HollowKnightSilksong. Bulkamancer did it on their patreon. I wanted to try the Gaahleri Kaleidocolors Mecha Color set. And did a lot of her with the #airbrush. The „forged red“ did go very well on the zenithal and took the shades greatly. I didn’t need to thin it

I loved the concept of Game Envy‘s Lucent lights. But was bummed that they are only sold in the US. I ordered two directly from them. They were quite fast delivered. Not even a week. Even with buying an EU-power supply, they came in at roughly 80€ a piece (price is 85$ or 165$ for 2).

Didn’t know @erikcats was such a big shot in the Netherlands. 😄
