Happy Sunday and welcome back to Tabletop Thoughts!

This week, I completed a large number of terrain pieces. I was surprised by the amount. I guess having a few nights off really does pay off.

First, I painted another cottage and another tree. The cottage is from The Printing Goes Ever On, and the tree is from Fat Dragon Games.

I finished the custom Underdark piece I started last weekend. The stone wall is 3D printed and the mushrooms are from Dollar General. I filmed the making of this piece and it will be coming out as a video on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@TabletopThoughts).

A few more Underdark terrain pieces from The Printing Goes Ever On. I have quite a bit of Underdark terrain. If you go to my YouTube channel and watch the video on my UDT collection, you will see most of my favorite Underdark terrain pieces. I didn’t include the water features and stalagmites that I did earlier this year in the video.

A few Sphinxes and a Wall of Words. The wall is from The Printing Goes Ever On and the sphinxes are from EC3D Designs. These pieces would look good in a tomb encounter.

A couple of markers. These would work in a tomb as well.

A couple of broken caskets. The left one has skulls in it and the other is filled with dirt. The skulls are hard to see since these were printed on my Ender 3 Pro FDM printer. I might have to redo it on a resin printer to see if it looks better.

I was able to print and paint another campsite. The models are from Fat Dragon Games. I will place these in my Etsy store.

I spent an hour on Saturday Zenithal highlighting more miniatures.

I believe that I am getting better with the airbrush the more I use it. I am getting good coverage on the miniatures and I am doing a better job of making sure that the head and face of the miniatures are brighten enough to draw the attention of the view.

I did get a Nidhogg printed, primed, and highlighted this weekend. I am going to see if I can get it painted this week. I am still not sure what to do with the base. Leave it blank (painted black) or add some flocking? If I do work on Nidhogg, that means he is jumping ahead of the line…

Here are the miniatures that I have started to paint. I have at least this many miniatures in another basket that are off the FDM printer that still need highlights before I paint them.

I have these 2 hill giants printing on the Saturn 3 right now.

These two ogres are printing on the Mars 3 right now.

When it gets to be too many miniatures, I usually take some to work and give them away.

Keep on gaming!
