Well I think we had another productive month of producing content, to be honest I never know if people read these but I do enjoy writing them. We certainly made a few new friends that I think is going to positively boost the patreon. I will mention more about that next month. We made contact with OPR on those special effects but still waiting for a little more clarity. Finally I’m hoping to collaborate with one of my favourite creators again this month, so hopefully there will be a little surprise in store for that.
Onto the studio items, we released our new twist lock base system which I’ve enjoyed using and sketching new attachments for. I dropped one a few days ago for an adapter. Sparked by this little paint job I’m working on. It’s a method for rust that doesn’t use dirty down, expect a guide soon. On the topic of this model I ended up using the priming handle to attach it to my GW handle due to it’s size. Then it hit me why not just have an adapter?
Touching briefly on the releases we had a few interesting packs for basing bits such as the humble bricks and the gentle shrubs.
For the painting guides we also had the squids from Helldivers 2 and the mobile infantry from starship troopers. Two really great guides and easy to follow. One subscriber did tell me they enjoyed the humour in the guides which is something I will lean into more.
A new knowledge guide went up for tips on how to grow your collection and to do it on a budget. These are a few tips and tricks I’ve learnt on the way.
I get terribly side tracked but I got a few cool releases planned for this month. I would put previews in but I just keep changing my mind, so items will appear when they appear.
Trust me on that.
My miniature of the month pick was this goblin reclaimer tank from One page Rules. I was testing out paint schemes for an upcoming guide and I was just enjoying painting it so much.
It’s very much a metal slug looking tank, I would say team fortress two styled, but either way I love it.
Well that’s my round up from the month, have a great easter and April. The sun is starting to appear down south here in Dorset, so it’s the perfect time to paint outdoors.
see you next month
