Germy
I put the weird and unusual into miniature wargaming. I sculpt, paint, build, write and above all, still get to play!

- I have a friend with a 3D printer. They let me have some of the supports normally destined for the bin. I made them into ruined buildings.
- Painted these for Christmas presents this year. The minis are from Statuesque Miniatures. I really like them and this was fun to paint something different.
- My 3D print comment was aimed at this not quite Necron. I had a number of robot miniatures so decided to repaint them in a similar scheme and use them all in the same army. We also have here an old EM4 robot and AT-43 mini. I think they will blend in well enough.
- I'm not sure I like 3D printed miniatures. One fell off the desk and broke into three pieces after hitting floor 60cm below. Yes it allows a sculptor to make dynamic (and thin) miniatures that would have to be multipart in traditional casting. But as a result they lack a robustness I'm used to. 🤔
- Made myself some scale agnostic volcano/craters. Found some transparent orange hot glue and couldn’t resist using it for these.
- www.youtube.com/@JasonSkye is streaming a cracking Dark synthwave set right now come join the fun, especially if you are currently painting something or avoiding the Christmas music 😎
- Still working on a sculpted version but decided to repaint my old scratchbuilt maggot monster. The one on the right has been done with Vallejo Xpress Colour paints to give it a more realistic look. Still need to give it a gloss varnish to make it look nice and slimy.
- It’s been over 30 years since I painted a battletech mini. Need to get myself some hex bases to finish these heavies.
- Tried the tarp effect again. This time on some fuel dumps. The barrels are from plastic beads. Seen here with 6mm forces but would work at other scales.
- Sorry I couldn’t resist, got some pumpkin potpourri to make mini pumpkin patches for terrain, but the larger pieces suddenly became…
- Thought I would have a go at creating tarp covered stuff like crates. Had some old counting blocks and used a dried out glasses wipe as the cloth. Quite like the result.
- It’s been 16 years since I made some alien plants out of pasta, so I thought I’d make a new set. Went with purple for these and added purple tufts. They will work for any scale.
- Finished the Star Wars toy as a sci-fi building.
- Couple more scratchbuilt industrial buildings. Just made out of various bits destined for the bin.
- Decided to paint an old toy as a sci-fi building for my 3mm and 6mm games. I know some of you recognise this, care to admit your age 😉
- Started work on a sci-fi hydroponics farm, should work for my 3mm and 6mm games. Just waiting for some plastic easter eggs to arrive that I'm hoping to use as the greenhouse domes.
- Right managed to slap a bit of paint on these. I really should have gone for something less detailed to get my painting mojo back. The detail and poses of 3D prints can be a challenge.

- Gave my cheap aquarium plants a light spray of green and red, worked well to tone down the original colour and took the plastic shine off.
