May 2024 Hobby Update
I’m back from my real job induced short break and ready to cover how my hobby plans for the year have been thrown out the window and replaced with different things and how I’ve had the 3D printer humming since I returned home a week ago. 28mm Originally I had wanted to spend my 28mm energies this year on WW2 Pacific focused things, particularly IJA … Continue reading May 2024 Hobby Update

Reviving an Old Mule Part Three: The Rolling Stock
Now that we have the engine sorted it’s time for the rolling stock. Like the pannier engine I had two goods wagons, a flatcar, and a liquid tank car primed and sitting in the pile of shame for a few years. It was high time to change that.

I’ve seen a ton of other awesome methods out there, but I have a lot of terrain to paint and don’t have the time to spend days on these so this is what you get! Hopefully it’s effective enough and helpful. Continue reading Terrain Tutorial: Concrete
Drew’s 2024 Hobby Goals
2024… for some reason always seemed like a number from the distant future, but here we are! Time to set some hobby goals.
