Crafting challenge, week 34

This week we have a late post more because I got super busy cleaning and moving furniture and less because I had nothing to show.  Granted, there isn't a lot to show but here you go.  These trees were purchased months ago and replace the low-rent Lego trees I'd been using.  They're hot glued to bases and are surprisingly sturdy though the bigger ones probably still want a washer or coin glued to the bottom.  It's been on my list for a while and I finally got around to sort it out. 

Crafting challenge, week 33

This week I've got kobolds.  Lots of kobolds.  A danger of kobolds.  There are seventeen of them here, some of them very poorly molded (the dudes on the right).  My painting has not helped this. 

The dudes on the left are super fun in all kinds of super fun ways.  I spent some time experimenting with finer details than I'd normally capture because these sculpts were so fun despite the fact that I really wanted to crank through them so I could hit my target of 100 this year.  If I had it to do again (and I might) I'd possibly spend more time to get a better result.

So next up we get some orksgoblins.  there are 26 which, if my basic arithmetic checks out, means finishing those puts the 2019 total at 102.  They're already primed, zenithaled and value sketched.  I'm going to experiment base coating with my super cheap airbrush because a) I like using it, and b) this's supposed to faster.   We'll see.

2019 finished mini counter:  74/100

Crafting challenge, week 32

I'd hoped to have more but things didn't work out the way I wanted them to.  The image over there is the schematics for the Eridani pictured somewhere.  I rushed through it if I'm honest but I don't think that's too big of a problem. 

This is probably too big of a thing for running actual fights but it's pretty useful to establish fictional positioning.  Also, good for catastrophes.  Feel free to use in your personal games and for non-commercial purposes.

In other news, the thing I hoped to put up here is a painted danger of kobolds.  Yes, that's the plural for kobolds according to me.  They still need a couple layers of washes but otherwise the 17 of them are done.  That would put me at 74 total.  With seven weeks remaining in the year I gotta finish like four per week to make it.  It's looking unlikely at this point. 

Crafting challenge, week 31

It will come as no surprise that this year also isn't my year to do nanowrimo so I got that goin' for me.  Instead, I'll throw some lego builds here.

The Envoy is the last of the bulk freighters I'll do for now as a variation on the Pelican earlier.  The other bulk freighters (Mule, Zephyr) had containers port and starboard.  The two newest have containers dorsal and ventral.  I don't know which of those is actually better--it probably depends on the configuration of the stations they're loading/unloading at. 

The Barracuda started as an engine table scrap I liked so I kept going.  I liked the engines a lot and got up to the guns and realized that it wanted to be a lot bigger than I wanted it to be.  There's a better ship in there, I think, and if I get some time this week I'll try to find it.

More design work as well this week but as usual, nothing to show yet.  Maybe a screenshot of the character sheet will find its way here if I can get the bugs shaken out.

Next week:  video?  If not next week then I'm feeling good for the week after.
