Published: March 2, 2025 02:28
Up until very recently , I’ve been hosting this blog from a tiny Pikapod. That worked fine, and I’d recommend it as an option for hosting your own blog for people with some basic technical skills (mostly DNS) – it’s fairly straightforward to set up and…
Building a Bunker
https://hobbies.deimos-legion.net/2025/02/22/building-a-bunker/
Published: February 22, 2025 12:11
This one is gonna be an older project. It was shared back when I was still on miniatures.photography (a now defunct pixelfed instance) and was the first piece of terrain I ever scratch-built. It was a simple bunker constructed using foam-core and…
A Screenshot, Some Colours and a Scheme
https://hobbies.deimos-legion.net/2025/02/03/a-screenshot-some-colours-and-a-scheme/
Published: February 2, 2025 13:17
Quite a while ago, Miniac posted a video where he used a photo as the basis for a colour scheme. Others have also visited the same idea, but it’s an interesting concept and it struck me as a fun way to find interesting new colour schemes to try. Recently,…
Rediscovering RSS

In the olden days, before the internet devolved into “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of the other four”, the web was full of blogs, news sites and other content. And while you could just visit each page to find out if there were any…
A Useful Little Workstation

Back in November of 2022, I was just recently migrated off Twitter to Mastodon and was starting to learn about the rest of the Fediverse. Someone called Ari was just starting up a Pixelfed instance for mini-painting called, appropriately,…
Having a go at Non-Metallic Metals (NMM)

Whilst the simplest and easiest way to paint the metal bits on your mini is just to use metallic paints, there’s a whole other effect you can go for using nonmetallic paints to simulate the highlights and reflections. I’ve been interested in giving it a…
Australian FLGS

Published: October 25, 2024 12:08
Ive been keeping a list of friendly local game stores (FLGS) that I use to find products I’m looking for because I prefer to order things locally if I can. I haven’t ordered from all of the retailers listed (I generally favour Combat Company and Milsims,…
A Blog is born

I’m still setting this site up, and I’ll have to come up with a better name, but it exists. It is here. I’ll be using it to share the miniatures and tabletop stuff I find myself working on. I’ll probably continue to post WIP shots to Pixelfed, and to do…
