TTRPG SCENERY AND PAINTING Update - Thunder Mouser.

OK so by now I was hoping to have some mini's painted or started creating some of my TTRPG Scenery, however things have been moving slowly and I'm only just now getting all my materials.  

Add to this we've sadly not had a good day where we can go out and spray our mini's with undercoat so we can get on with painting.

Now whilst this has been a little downside, we've also managed to get something to help us paint smaller mini's (28-32mm.)  (An 5x time magnified glass/light).  So we're going to be working on creating things for this.

When everyone else starts with creating towns for adventures, we thought that we'd take a different tack and start by designing our own farm, and perhaps some of the simpler items that will hopefully not make it look like I've glued my hands together.  LOL

So shortly, this will be happening, will be going live, and we will be also including blue prints with measurements so if you want to create them, you can do, these are designed more for adults to create and we accept no responsibility for injuries that people cause themselves by accident.  Whilst for most creators this goes as standard, I hate having to say it and will do so only this one time.

Have fun and look forward to seeing what else you can come up with, idea's for future builds are always appreciated and if I can work it out with my limited skills I'll do my best to figure it out for you.

MINIATURE BUILDING BLUEPRINT - Standard House - Thunder Mouser

Hello, Greetings and Salutations,

Today we decided to work on our first blueprint for a house, we wanted something we could have fun with that would be able to be used in various incarnations for multiple locations.

Each layer is built upon a chipboard base so you can assemble and disassemble it as you wish and if you halve the measurements, you could design it so that you could set up a Hollywood style set for you characters to roam around which would also stack up for easy storage, the only thing you'd have to do is build extra roofs.

Hopefully when we get the materials, we'll build our prototype and take photo's so you can see how it all works out.

Other plans we have in the works include a dock set, a public house, defense objects and things like wattle and daub fences. We really hope you'll join us in our projects and fun, and as each item is built we'll include a list of materials and hopefully a You-Tube Video that you can watch to laugh at my two left hands. LOL

MINIATURE PAINTING AND SCENERY MAKES: Full disclosure (with incompetence) - Thunder Mouser

Hello, Greetings and Salutations,

OK, I feel like I need to add a little clarity to the whole model painting. I originally started when I was 13 and loved spending my time painting my Orc and Goblin Army, some undead figures, then finally moved on to an Eldar and finally Lizardman Army. (This was way back in which was way back in 1997.) Then sadly I left the hobby and recently, having asked myself what would make me happy, I returned to the TTRPG family and having gotten back, looked up models and was totally wowed by all the ones available, especially with 3d printing.

Now first off I am not an expert painter and with so much having happened in the hobby in the 25 years I've been out, I will be starting again as a newbie, so if you want to walk this journey with me, hopefully we can all learn from each other and through our own endeavours we can all get there with models we'll not only be proud of but can't wait to play with.

Now because I'm getting on (yeah I know I'm old), I'm looking at painting models on the 50mm scale (new measurements to follow), as when printed at 28 and 32mm, I really have problems focusing on the details. (And yes I wear specs.) So anything I do will be related to that size or bigger, including figuring out everything needed for scenery, buildings etc. Its definitely going to be fun and with my prototype materials purchased for battle map 1.0, I will hopefully generate a lot of fun things that you too can make (provided I don't stick my fingers together.)

Everything is going to be done without spending a fortune, on a budget, with finding ways to increase usefulness whilst reducing storage and as you can guess will look hodge podge until the skills develop (but thats what stampedes and dinosaurs are for in this hobby (its intention, they ruined it, not my incompetence), but thats half the fun, after all if you don't do or try, you will never succeed or make things better. As you'll have already seen I am working on things like colour plans for the models, working on how the shadow and shading will come through and with practical examples that I can share, we can all have fun exploring this hobby. So please join me on this journey and have as much fun in the hobby as I hope to.
