    M113 style APC Build

    Everything in this sub-board is a wargaming miniature, specifically for Warhammer 40,000. Yes, this is a gothic science fiction version of an M113. So, to fit the setting, Eli takes the base vehicle (in this case an M113A1 or A2) and then adds some details that fit the 40K universe (lots of...

    M113 style APC Build

    Finally got around to starting the Patoroch version of the M113 APC inspired, counts as, Classic Rhino. Started it a few nights back and for the main hull started and modified with some supports and some openings I intend to put crew into. Not quite ready to do a super detailed interior or...

    Alpha Strike (Battletech)!

    I got together with @drtetrode this last weekend and taught him Alpha Strike. It's a simplified variation Battletech allowing for larger forces on the table and faster games. He had map sheets instead of terrain, so we used the rules for converting inches to hexes for moving and range. Worked...

    Battletech campaign company

    Here is the rest of the Mech company. Each group of four Mechs is a Lance, or about like a tank platoon (4 combat vehicles). 3 to 4 Lances form a full mech company. Light Lance (under the above Phoenix Hawk) are my "gun fighters" a Wasp, Stinger, and Valkyrie. You'll likely note these are...

    Battletech campaign company

    My local game group is starting a Chaos Campaign (freebie from the Catalyst website). So me being me, I 3D printed and painted all new mechs. First off, is the Phoenix Hawk jumping off of its kill, a luckless Javelin mech!

    Battletech, where my miniature wargaming started...

    Every battle needs an objective! This is my months long 3D printing and painting project of the Thunderhead Studios Hextech Forward Operating Base. A mighty objective to defend or seize! I estimate about 2-3 kilos of PLA went into the foundation/walls, and buildings. Four rolls likely...

    Battletech, where my miniature wargaming started...

    The FOB those green CAV buildings will go into... Well, it was a few kilos of PLA (including the structures)! It's a beast! My 12" (300mm) ruler for scale. Had to go to my garage to lay it out, didn't have enough room on the hobby bench for it setup! Needless to say, this will dominate a...

    Battletech, where my miniature wargaming started...

    So, I've NOT fallen off the face of the Earth (yet), but I did get sucked into Battletech even more this year with my 3D printer(s). Resin one might be down, but I ended up creating quite the painting backlog that I've been working on since. Some of the last models the Elegoo printed were...

    Dr. Tetrode - Valkryie Build II - attempt with color.

    The good thing about GIMP, if you happen to just 'save' a file, it defaults to it's native XCF file format... Which reminds me to always "Export as..." a new JPG when I scale down my images! I do keep the raw photos as well as 'web ready' exports as well.

    Warhammer 40k - Union monitor tank (patoroch)

    Excellent work! Your glue skills are better than mine (which is why I always end up having to paint mine)!

    Dr. Tetrode - Valkryie Build II - attempt with color.

    GIMP works great for scaling down the images. I like to keep the Width and Height linked (default when you select this command) as well as the resolutions. Being an American, I prefer pixels per inch as it corresponds to DPI quite nicely in my head. 96 down to about 72 dpi (or ppi) is...

    Dorf Pirates, by Bob Naismith

    Back when my Mars 2 Pro was working... I printed A LOT of models. Now that I have issues with it... My painting backlog is getting tackled. Trade-offs! These are a trio of Bob Naismith designs I received when I was a Patreon Member a few months back. They are "Dorfs" but you can guess the...

    Mad Robot Goatboys (counts as Beastmen in space...)

    Mad Robot Miniatures Goatmen heads (HH-106), Tribal Torsos (HT-09), Goatmen Legs (HL-22), and Lykan Close Combat Arms (HA-06). Finally got these painted up, in spite of a bad primer job they turned out great! Not contest entry great, but still good looking models. Harkening back to the days when...

    Ah yes... Learning...

    So, I replaced my LCD (2k monochrome) print area screen on my Elegoo Mars 2 Pro. First print went off without a hitch. Last five have ended up like this one... Got some queries in the Elegoo forums, but all my searches have come up empty as what this issue might be. I've double checked my...

    More Enesis Troopers from Bob Naismith (the guy who sculpted the first Space Marines for Citadel Miniatures back in the 80's). 3D printed on my Elegoo Mars Pro 2.

    Sentinel build (Sudsy builds another Patoroch design)

    The black is just the primer, it still requires more painting here shortly.
