Hello Jungle,

Sebastian here. Today is Miniature Tuesday. Here you'll find information about new releases, Kickstarter, Miniature Unpacked, etc. but all over and around unpainted minis, terrain and other stuff.

I would like to start with a Kickstarter by AsymSculpts that has only been running for a few days but is still very interesting. It´s about 3D printable STL modular display boxes with unique styles and personality. The idea is to present your minis in displays with backdrops. Depending on your pledge, you can choose between 12 and 30 additional backdrops. The sides of the display box can be fitted with plexiglass. There's a partner on Aliexpress who can supply this for you.

It's also possible to connect the individual display boxes together to create a kind of showcase. Pretty cool.  

The images are from the Kickstarter.

 

 

You can find the remaining 30 backdrops on the Kickstarter. Check it out.

I´am excited and of course pledged it.

Happy printing!

Sebastian

 

 

Hello Jungle,

Sebastian here with another Community Friday. This time I'd like to introduce you to alexipaints from Sydney. I found him by chance on Instagram, and his painted minis are fantastic. You can also find more of his work on Putty and Paint. He also has his own Twitch channel and YouTube channel. Let´s take a look...

Happy Painting!

Hello wolfpack, I painted the orc for Orctober 2022. But I noticed that I never showed it to you here. Here it is... Mezgob the scrap boss modeled by Mezgike.

Keep on happy painting!

Sebastian

Hello jungle,

Sebastian here, with another cracking miniature unpacking. This time a duel secene printed by Midguard Miniatures. Included are two hole printed 75mm miniatures and a base with a backdrop. I bought the minis at the Bembel Miniature Cup. 

Upon opening the box, the first thing I encountered was a ton of bubble wrap.

Accordingly, nothing was broken. After sorting, I did the first glue-free assembly test, and what can I say? "WOW!" The parts fit together perfectly. What's more, Midguard completely removed all the supports and cleaned the joints so thoroughly that you don't have to waste any time preparing the minis. You can simply glue the minis together out of the box. You find something like that very, very rare.

The first mini is "Thurs the Troll." A massive badass sci-fi troll.

The second mini is "Adela the Valkyrie".

The base is made of wood and already primed black.

And here everything together.

Midguard Miniatures is a remarkable 3D printing shop like no other. You can shop here with confidence and be delighted with the miniatures and their precision fit.

That wasn't the last time I bought something there.

See you next time,
Sebastian

 

Sebastian here, today I'd like to introduce something new that's been close to my heart for a while: The Community Day. The first part is about introducing people in the hobby and what they do. By that, I don't mean the ones everyone already knows, but the ones not everyone knows. It doesn't matter whether the person paints miniatures or is a miniature sculptor. The second part of Community Day will be me showing only pictures of finished minis from the community. Simply because they were painted well, but they don't get the attention they deserve, due to the fact that the painter isn't that well known.

I'd like to start with Ocarina. A miniature painter who's been around for a while in the hobby, but I only met her for the first time a few years ago. She´s a miniature painter based in Germany.  Her development since then has been enormous, and I think her finished minis are simply beautiful to look at.

Here's just a small selection of what she's painted. You can find more pictures of the finished minis on her Instagram. If you like it, you can follow her.

Keep on happy painting!

Sebastian
