Now that 2026 is here, I thought I’d recap the fun projects I did in 2025 and took out to show people. Not all of these started life as ‘display’ pieces, but I have a pretty loose definition here, which is anything you show people so they ooo and ahhh over it. This year I […]

Hoo boy, what a year! This year I had the good fortune to get out and about, even internationally, to attend a ton of cool cons! For the miniature wargaming and painting community these kinds of events are critical – as a physical hobby with a strong social aspect, people’s gaming and painting reaches a
So I’ve used minis to help make a number of presents over the years, although I usually concentrate on foodstuffs that people would be excited about. Last year we were traveling (which was great) but it put a damper in any DIY present plans. This year, I had a little inspiration (and time) for some

Licking your wounds, counting your coins, your warband plans its next move. The city is worse every day- increasingly there are two factions, those of unbridled hedonisms and those of unrivaled bloodshed. You approach your camp. You find the old veteran. One of the ninety-niners, somehow surviving since the first days of the city’s destruction.

So I made some more progress on the historical wargaming project no one asked for- the Great Northern War! It’s gonna be great, and hopefully it will get people interested in this corner of history largely forgotten outside of baltic countries. But more on that later! Right now, I finished up a block of pikemen

I’ve continued to work away on the transparent veil bust, including my second version! I got one in a workshop at Nova with Natalia and Owlsome creations, and had bought the second at Adepticon last year. It’s been fun to approach both versions, but with very different tones and materials between the two. Applying the

It is the year 2007 of the Imperial Calendar. For eight years, the city of Mordheim has been a burnt out husk, full of precious wyrdstone drawing adventurers to their doom with the promise of riches. But for the last few years, the wyrdstone has dried up- warbands risk their lives for a single shard,

I’ve been slowly making some progress on this very cool Vesper bust by Owlsome creations (https://www.owlsome.shop/). There is much blending to do, but I think at this point the effect is working and I’ve been inching towards something nice! After some coaching with Matt, the metals are also reading a lot better. Will probably set

New year, new project! Earlier this year, we took a trip to Baccus Miniatures in Sheffield, a powerhouse in the world of 6mm metal miniatures. This inspired us to dive into some of the rabbit holes well suited for 6mm wargaming. I’ve long been fascinated by the short-lived Swedish Empire, Gustavus Adolphus and all that.

Sometimes its fun to just do something simple. A friend of mine runs the 3D printer farm at work and was doing some test prints on an SLS machine. He printed a tiny castle, but didn’t really have a plan for it. We were hanging out and he asked if I wanted it, and, with
