The Dangers of California’s Legislation to Censor 3D Printing California’s bill, AB 2047, will not only mandate censorware on all 3D printers; it will also criminalize the use of open-source alternatives. Repeating the mistakes of DRM won’t make anyone safer, bu...

Rest in peperoni, cosplay as a hobby. You'll be missed.

There's also 0% chance this isn't going to interfere with printing replacement parts and (questionably-acquired) minis eventually — cos once the system is there, expanding it to cover copyright/IP is trivial ... & we know how that works on YT.

Dragonborn ranger.

I think I overdid the aim angle by a lot, so I tried to compensate for that by raising the base a bit.

(Note: all three images are focus-stacked, which is why focus is sometimes doing strange things)

Thanks, that's nice to hear (especially given how this one was a relatively quick paint job).

Knight.
This one was a quick one, painted only up to the table standards.

Also stacking is a little bit sub-optimal this time around, but nothing too disastrous.

Finally finished this mini-diorama.

#minis #minipainting #fantasy

Had to find some photos of some twats that we had to ban from our mini painting gatherings. Also found some photos of minis (not mine) from the mini painting "contest" of our club.

(None of these minis are mine)

I've tried to speedrun a mini once for a change ... turned out pretty okay.

#minis #minipainting #fantasy

The minis themselves are kinda _eh_, but rock bases are slowly becoming my favourite.

Work in progress.

I need to find one more mini that fits into the theme (and cover the base with some shrubs).

#minipainting #fantasy

The last photo is a photobomb courtesy of my friend.

That's the last mini that made it out of my pile of shame in 2025 (by literal minutes, too).

Just some non-mini photo debts from last year.

#photography #hills #mountains

So get this: what if we took a 3D printed dragon (not-so-mini) and ran a smoke machine through it?

Side note: this video was shot in 16:9, which makes crops a bit problematic.

There's also a build video that goes along with it. youtu.be/h1qBbSB3JVo

Thanks!

(And nice to see that my effort to take photos outside is being noticed)

Aragorn and Gimli, except with a vast amount of creative liberties.

Weekend in Bosna did wonders for my pile of shame. This time: one fishy boi.

For that last image, I tried to re-create the first shot, except with mini in the shade and have it lit by the caustics. Didn't pan out as well as I hoped.

Pile of shame removals for the week: few more kobolds (some of these are duplicates of previous minis).

Not very happy about the light in photos, though.

#minipainting #kobolds

I have a bit of a backlog.

A man and a dwarf.

#minis #minipainting

And that's the other half of the 'bolds from my pile of shame.

#minis #minipainting #fantasy #kobolds

Pile of shame removals: a few kobolds.

Our club moved base-crafting stuff to the warehouse, so I had to go outside and get some real rocks.

#minipainting #fantasy #kobolds

#IsleOfWonders but it hasn't started yet.

(Enjoying the last few moments of quiet before things get busy)

Last pile of shame removal for this month: Avian shaman.

#minis #minipainting #pileofshame

Pile of shame removals for today: Aarakocra.

#minis #minipainting

Chieftain and his wife.

I was told white is annoying color to work with. Don't think I agree with that.
It was, however, very annoying to get photos that are workable.

Turns Out You DO Need To Harass Users of Your App - Tamius' sacred texts As is becoming tradition, Amulet D20 — a fantasy community club I’m a part of — has been handed the execution of the mini painting contest on local convention (Na Meji Nevidnega; NMN) for the second y...

I've handled public voting at the mini painting contest at Slovenia's largest fantasy convention. Lessons learned this year:
* people don't read
* if you need them to read something, you probably need to harass them with a popup
* (I also probably need to work on the design)

#namejinevidnega #nmn

Pile of shame removals for this week. This time: a goblin and two dwarves.

#minipainting #dwarves #goblins

Kobold and goblin (again, but this time I'm also trying to figure out why bluesky is incapable of handling standard jpegs)

#minipainting #kobolds #goblins

Some more removals from my pile of shame.

#minipainting

So here's my latest reduction of my pile of shame.
