Happy Sunday and Happy St. Patty’s Day to you!

This week, I only got a few miniatures painted. It was a long week at both jobs.

I got a dwarf wizard, a human wizard, and a hag painted up along with a pile of gold pieces.

Here is what I have been doing with my craft time:

PRINTING AND PRIMING RESIN MINIATURES!

These guys look for good but they are a pain to do with all of the mess.

I backed a Patreon called The Printing Goes Ever On which does a lot of miniatures that are based on Tolkien universe. I made a bunch of dwarves from this month’s set and I also bought last month’s set that were the elves. Plus there were welcome packs that had a bunch of figures and since I prepaid for the year (I am that guy), I got all of the rewards for keeping a membership. I have been skipping printing bases and I have been using counting chips that you can get cheap on the internet.

I had a Humble Bundle from before that had a lot of different creatures and other items like that included. That is where is wyvern is from.

This week was the birthday of my daughter’s boyfriend who likes Lord of the Rings so I made him a few things as well.

I printed this on my Ender 3 Pro.

I did the Fellowship in resin then primed/highlighted them. I used the airbrush for the highlights. I need to use it more. It looks better than dry brushing (on most of the miniatures, Legolas has a few spots on him that stand out) and it is easier too (no worry or breaking tiny parts off of the prints).

I should start to paint some of these resin figures shortly.

Keep on gaming!
