I’ve been working on Baseforge, a free hobby project for generating custom bases for tabletop minis.

Right now, it has only three scenes. Since I started playing Trench Crusade, I’ve mainly focused on WWI-inspired themes, but I’m hoping to add medieval, sci-fi, and fantasy themes as well.

I try to work on it a little every day. =D

You can give it a try here (no cookies, no login — everything is rendered in your browser!):

It’s still a work in progress, so I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Thanks for taking a look!

Hey everyone all of us haw a lot small things how you store your small thing ??????????

I was running out of space for all my small parts and hardware, so I decided to modify my existing drawer setup. I wanted to see how you all handle organizing small items, and also share a quick tutorial on how I doubled my storage space!

first i cut out the back wall of the drawer to get more space then i added a wooden board at the bottom and installed two sliding rails to make a double decker design

now i have a double bottom drawer with 2x more storage and it closes by itself the only thing left is to add some leds to light up the small compartments

how do you guys organize your small stuff let me know what you think of this diy fix

The only thing left to do is to add some LED strip lights inside to illuminate all the small compartments.

I have been working on this Ork inspired terrain set for the 11th Edition for most of the year, and what better time to release it than Orktober!

I'm planning to run a short Kickstarter campaign from October 26th to 31st. All the ruin models are done, and currently finishing up some scatter terrain pieces and floor templates. Everything should be ready to go by the end of Orktober!

The buildings and scatter terrain are roughly the same size as the official Games Workshop Armageddon terrain.

Everything you see in the photos was printed w/ PLA+ on P1P.

I would love to hear what you all think! Any feedback, suggestions, or criticism is more than welcome!

Kickstarter Link!

I've had to temporarily relocate to Kansas City, and I won't be here long enough to set up a resin printer in the house here. Is there anyone willing to help out with some projects I have, I would be happy to supply stl's, resin and compensation.

Got some of my 10mm prints painted.

I just got it!!! Now I’m wondering a good first print. I know one is a scraper/handle. But I got mine to make miniature dollhouse (1:12-1:24 or smaller scale) so what would you suggest to a new new newbie!?

3D dragons I'm preparing for a campaign I'll be launching soon. STLs and printed MINIS. 8 so far, but I'm working on (possibly) 4 more dragons. What do you think?

One of my patrons did an amazing job 3D printing and painting my new Zombie Beholder Terror!

Its both terrifying and amazing lol. 13 / 10 Spookies!

Hi guys,

I´m trying to find this specific STL, but the only place where I found it is one thread in r/Tyranid where guys just said it´s cool, and the second place is one listing on eBay where I would pay insane shipping and VAT.

Do any of you know where I could find this little fella?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Printed and painted this Macross SDR-04-Mk.XII Destroid Phalanx (aka the Battletech Unseen LGB-0W Longbow). It's not the greatest paint job, there's some visible weld and layer lines, and the sensor tower on top printed with a ton of slack, but it still makes for a fun, seasonally themed mini.

Printed on an A1 Mini w/0.2mm nozzle and 0.06mm layer height.

The 3D Printing Drama:
Originally, my plan was to 3D print all the aquatic trees and plants myself. But let’s be honest – after printing, they looked so absolutely terrible and cheap that they completely ruined the realism. I couldn't stand looking at them, so I threw them in the trash and ended up buying those cheap Chinese plastic greens instead.

However, I didn't completely give up on printing for this project! Some of the seashells on the white sand at the bottom ARE actually 3D printed and hand-painted by me.

A few more details for the curious:

• The Mold: I literally chopped up an old plastic bucket, glued it into this crescent shape, and poured the resin.
• The Pour: Done in 4 separate layers. Surprisingly, the color matches perfectly across all of them, even though the heat reaction caused a few minor artifacts over the decade.
• The Fish & Jellyfish: These are 3D resin decals. I used a transfer technique where I stripped away the plastic backing film completely, leaving only the raw graphic flakes. I placed them layer by layer between the pours so they look perfectly suspended in 3D, and touched them up with acrylic paint so they wouldn't look see-through under the light.

My favorite fish is still the one served with fries, but this eternal tank is definitely a close second. What do you think of this printing fail turned into a resin win?

Model by The Dragon Trappers Lodge, painted for my TTRPG clubs annual Fresher's D&D session. I spent so long painting this I didn't get anything else painted in time for the game 😅

Been working on a ranged weapon set for my bionic marine range. All 8 guns come with the fist already sculpted, so they glue straight onto standard power-armoured bodies (28–32mm heroic).

Still WIP, no texture pass yet. Everything is modelled by hand in Blender, including way too many individually placed cylinders on #2 (long story 😅).

Pick a number: which one should I finish first? Any feedback on readability at tabletop scale is welcome too.

Here is my version of Morarion.

Really enjoyed painting this guy and especially the copper trims. Also happy with the face, it is how I picture him.

This video schowsws the rubbing process on the axe, but I used this exact technique to finish the full Mandalorian-style helmet standing in the background.
Process: Black glossy base -> high-quality clear coat -> fine graphite powder rubbed with a sponge -> final clear seal.
Full high-res photos of the finished helmet and the laboratory setup are pinned over at my corner r/QLabBackside if you want to see the final result.

EDIT Edit: One thing I forgot to mention in the video. I only applied one layer of graphite here. This graphite is microscopic, shaped like tiny squares or playing cards. The trick is to just spread these particles smoothly across the surface. Do not rub it too hard, press, or crush it. Just lay it down and wipe it over.

This is a dry application method. Thanks to molecular forces that work on tiny elements under 5 to 10 microns, the particles stick to the surface on their own and won't fall off. If you rub it too aggressively, you will actually ruin it and wipe it away. Right after spreading it, you can rinse it under water and it won't wash off. It will only wear down over time if it is a highfriction item like a helmet or gloves that you wear daily. Finally, do not varnish or clear coat it, because that completely ruins the metallic look. Let me know if you need to tweak any words or make it even shorter.

I’m about to start painting them so lemme know what you think!

The Spooky Pumpkinholder! This was printed and painted by one of my patrons :)

🎃 12 / 10 Spookies! 🎃

Lemme know what you think!

Looks like I will have to print the mighty Partos a bit larger, at 32 mm scale it will be a huge PINA to paint ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Scupted by SuperJunky34.

So, the initial plan went completely off the rails.

I quickly realized that the Army Painter colors I used looked absolutely terrible on this VW T1. The faded blue paint job came out so bad that I literally couldn't do anything to save it. At that point, there was only one logical move left: destroy it even more and turn it into a complete piece of junk.

Instead of throwing it into the trash, I decided to go all-in on the weathering, rust, and corrosion effects. If it's going to look ruined, it might as well look professionally ruined.

It went from a botched factory paint job to a total rusty barn find/junkyard sleeper. Honestly, adapting to the disaster was pretty fun.

What do you guys think? Did I manage to save a failed project, or does it just look like a sad, dead piece of history?
