As my inventory of wargaming miniatures keeps expanding, I find that I can no longer store them all in my little tackle box that I also keep my modelling tools in. From now on, therefore, I'll be keeping only single samples of each variant that I have, and all of my other inventory will be…
Where Am I?
As my workload becomes more varied, I find myself having to move back and forth between my 3D print shop (and likely future location of the foundry) and my machine shop. This wouldn't be a problem, except that my machine shop is in Pennsylvania, and my 3D print shop is in Maryland. Travel between them…
Back in the Shop!
Recently, I had my first machining job in a very long time. I won't go into details, but since my customer is connected with me on LinkedIn (you know who you are, thank you for the work), I'll add any comments that may show up in my feed over there. It's a bit awkward, so…
Where Have I Been?!
Short answer: at home, up to my eyeballs in work. Fortunately, I have a bit of a reprieve today, since I'm waiting on a tool I need for my next job. So, what have I been doing? Well, in addition to desperately trying to keep up with trimming the vegetation, a task made damn near…
My Reading List
There are certain books that everyone should read, I think we can all agree. What follows is my own personal list of literary recommendations, not all of which I've finished reading yet, but fully intend to. You don't have to agree with the contents of these books to find them valuable, of course, and it's…
I’m Moving From Steemit to Hive
As you may know, some time ago I stopped posting pictures here, for the most part, and moved my graphics-heavy posts to Steemit. However, Steemit has had lots of problems, including the occasional hard fork that stopped me from posting regularly. I have a lot more STEEM (a type of cryptocurrency, in case you didn't…
Tips for Printing Your Own Miniature Tanks
Since I'm getting more orders for tank files on Wargaming 3D, I thought I would share some tips for those who own resin printers. I use a Formlabs Form 3 for printing my models, but for those who have a different machine, such as the Anycubic Photon S, most of what I'm about to discuss…
Aboard the Zaphnora
Long-time readers of my blog (and a couple of newcomers as well) will probably recall first seeing the name Zaphnora in a post titled "Airships of the Nine Empires, Part 2." Well, given my new adventures with a high-resolution 3D printer, I have decided to make a much more detailled model of this ship than…
So, You Want to Print Your Own Sailing Ships? Well, Here’s What You’re in For.
Variations on that title serve as the beginning of every video description in my latest 3D Print Shop episode on BitChute. This is the first episode of this series that is divided into multiple parts, given how much footage I had to work with, and it is mostly unedited. My purpose for doing so was…
Important Print Shop Update
Today, I start running castable wax in the Form 3! This is an important development, because it means I can start making my own jewellery. I'll be able to include as much detail as I want, rather than being constrained to whatever doesn't get obliterated by the overly aggressive polishing processes that Shapeways uses. Hopefully,…
