RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam with the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type.

The scale of the KK vs Kurofune kits looks a bit off as both are supposed to be the same size.

I'm tempted to get another KK RX-79[G] just to complete the squad.

Painted a Phoenix Hawk for my growing #Battletech army! If you aren't painting with makeup sponges yet I highly recommend trying it!

Texas politics suck so badly. I hate knowing so many good folks are being represented by some of the worst people imaginable.

There are definitely other options. While not quite as detailed, reaper miniatures makes lots of single fantasy miniatures you can buy, I also really like dark sword miniatures.

Finished scanning issue 2 of RPGドラゴン today. A bunch of really cool art, with some unfortunate minor moisture damage.

I mentioned before to keep an eye on this space for details on my next project: I'm proud to announce Periphery Wargaming!
Coming up next week are some closeup shots of the principal mercenaries: the Arcadian Rangers. Hope to see you there!

A Bane 3 painted up for #battletech, this model is huge! Definitely the biggest mech model I’ve had. The fact it over spilled the base so much made it hard to paint! Still I enjoyed it. Only a few more Scouring Sands models to go! #nerdlings #wargaming

Tips From the Union: Chip It, Chip It Good Time to tackle a question I get a lot: how do I apply chip weathering to my models? Up front, let me be clear about this: there’s not really a right or wrong way to go about this, nor is it even necessary. My Clan β€˜Mechs lack paint chipping entirely, as I play Jade Falcon […]

my friend over at www.etsy.com/shop/RoninKr... does my printing for me and sells prints of my stuff. recently he was hit by takedown requests from Games Workshop for things that aren't even remotely GW adjacent (including my sculpts)

give em some support if you need prints, we both appreciate it!

ZeeWulf has a few favorites, but we chose to show off their #1, the Tarantula! That is a splayed out 'Mech if we ever saw one!

Luciora has more than five shown favorites, but we fell in love with this fun, kitbashed Shadow Hawk! It almost reminds us of Gundam HeavyArms!

The unspeakable horror this poor guy had to witness? I painted a Cadian who wasn't white. G a s p.

What do these guys think is going to happen in response to this bitch-ass whining? I'm going to take the video down? Implausible as it might seem - and I swear this is true - Black people exist.

Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied.
Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"
