More things to upload?
Quick question... Would anyone be interested in seeing me upload some of my miniature/scale- model painting stuff?
Recently, I've been getting back into my old miniature painting hobby which is partly responsible for my slow progress and irregular uploads of pony sculpts.
Its a hobby that I've been passionate about for as long as I can remember and in part why I even started 'proper' sculpting a couple of years back.
Alongside my pony work I enjoy collecting miniature, especially high quality resin stuff from a tonne of different companies. I have yet to paint most of these so this would be a great excuse to knuckle down and get painting

2015 project wish list
I'm not dead, honest. :P
I just took a small hiatus over the holidays. Work and stuff got massively busy and left little time/motivation for sculpting. Anyhow, I should be getting back into all this lovely arty stuff ASAP.
This journal will serve as a idea dump and a reminder of some of the longer running ideas I've been thinking of doing.
Wishlist. AKA stuff I eventually want to do sometime, maybe.
Zecora:
Zecora needs some love. Our Zebra friend is in desperate need of more attention. I'm thinking of maybe trying something more 'tribal' or out collecting brewing supplies. I like the idea of her with a rucksack/pack with all the ingredi

I know 3D printing in the tabletop scene. They see that as a new technique but in fact, it's not saving money or time. Making a figurine by hand and make a mold of it has still the better quality as a 3D printer. If you whant to do that with the same amount of money.
We're talking about sandstone platic figurines. That's the most worse quality a 3D printer can do. Really fragile and dyamic poses are impossible for that material. But i'ts colorized and relativley cheap. All the customer has to do is buying. Most of them don't want to do more. In the 90s there was a huge request for animé character garage kits. Some of them are sold for several hundred pounds. Today, this market is collabsed because of prepainted vinyl figurines. Nobody will buy a model kit anymore if you can buy the finished figurine for less money.
So, what's the alternative to this 3D printing offer? We can make a model, making a mold for each part and we have a model kit. Who want to buy, build and paint that? Most customers wanted a finished Figurine and they pay for it. We do that as a hobby, they made a job of it. Maybe another group will go the old way and give the garage kit idea a breath of new live. Who knows?
