About Me

A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Paint Table Saturday 10 December 2022

 


And...I'm back. I haven't had anything to post, apart from 3D prints. I still don't really, but thought that I ought to post something anyway.

At the moment I'm getting myself sorted for the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge which begins in just over a week. That has meant getting the various bits together for my main project. Then deciding that I need to reprint some of them. There are a couple of parts that I'm having a big problem with; hopefully I'll finally get them right this week.

I ordered some more primers and paints and they arrived a few days ago:


That should be enough to see me through the Type S Scout Courier.


3D Printing

I've carried on with printing Traveller cargo containers, in between printing other things.

Standard Containers:


Sealed Containers:


Controlled Environment Containers:


I've also printed some alternative partitions and bulkheads for the Type S Scout Courier with the doors fused in place - they should be easier for painting.


The Beowulf Kickstarter campaign I backed has released the ship files and also most of the stretch goals - not bad when you consider that it's less than a month since the end of the campaign. I've been printing some of the smaller items.


Grav Bike, Emergency Low Berths & Air Raft Van 




Rampart Light Fighter



I've shown it on the stand but I've also printed landing gear in case I decide to put it in a hangar diorama.


Well, that's all for now folks!

    That's a lot of printing done Tamsin, and good luck in the challenge.

    Some terrific prints there, Tamsin, which definitely show off the pros to a filament printer. I too am a big fan of the speed in which you get your rewards for backing STL kickstarters - plus there's no outrageous additional costs for postage suddenly thrown your way six months after the campaign's end, LOL!! Looking forward to seeing these painted up during the Challenge. :-)

      It's not always the case - a lot of kickstarters for STLs don't have all the files ready to go for the main items, let alone stretch goals. 2nd Dynasty aren't like that - they always have the main parts ready before the campaign starts; this time they also had the majority of the stretch goals ready for when the money cleared. :)

    I think the printing is getting better, those look crisp and neat. (I would be tempted to replace the stem under the Grav Bike with a transparent sprue tho') Good to see you posting again!

      Thanks! I went with a lower layer height (=higher quality/smoother surface) for these. :)

    Those containers and the Rampant fighter are lovely.

      Cheers! I'm hoping that they will do the twin-seat variant of the Rampart as well. :)
