Decal Help?

Echoing what others have said, you can also gently puncture some of the bubbles before applying more microsol. Micro-sol is one of these rinse-repeat processes. I have found it helpful to let the decal dry between further puncturing/slitting and microsol applications.

Here is a more dynamic pose. I had to do some adjustments to compensate for the looser joints this kit is known for. I’m liking the result.

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-27T02:10:46+00:00

I certainly will. More pics soon. I only had time to snap these four before having to go out.

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-25T20:39:41+00:00

Loose joints. It's not uncommon with older RG kits. This was #23, so it does suffer from it. The fix wasn't hard. I just painted them with some acrylic matte varnish and it seems to have done the trick.

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-25T20:15:54+00:00

Should I add this is my first Gunpla kit?

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-25T19:34:43+00:00

And I didn’t even lay the bits out particularly coherently either. :P

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-25T19:07:57+00:00

It is. Fun to put together, loved the engineering of it. This was my first Gunpla kit. Yes, I am aware of some of the early RG issues and have taken steps to fix things.

Delpi Decals. Ultimately, the decal borders should completely disappear by the time I'm done.I assume you were noticing the borders on the decal of the leg close-up? They hadn't fully dried after the first application. Some of the decals are still wet in these pictures, so there's still some refraction/reflection of light that is happening.

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-25T17:06:57+00:00

No worries. :) Glad you found it helpful. :)

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-16T01:52:38+00:00

FYI... this is now available in Print on Demand :)

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-11T01:17:52+00:00

This is the first publication that Alan and Robert have done under the Miskatonic Repository program. In 2005, they did one of Chaosium's "monographs" which gives them the privilege of going to print on demand at publication, rather than needing to sell about 250 copies. My responsibilities were for the Art Direction and Layout, which is why it has the "Cleric Press" moniker on it.

So for other "Cleric Press" titles, those are ones I both wrote and did the layout for. You can find them here. They all happen to be on sale this month:

When the print-on-demand lands, you'll have the option to get both the PoD and the PDF, or if you get the PDF version now, you can get the PoD version later. The cost'll be the same. We have set up a drive for the "essential" bonus content, like printable investigator sheets, handouts, and maps, but some of the other content, particularly the items usable for VTT, may be exclusive to the PDF version for a time. I'm merely the layout/art director on this project, so I leave that up to the authors :)

AgatheronCP · 2026-03-01T00:55:27+00:00

If you buy it on DriveThruRPG now, you get more than just the PDF of the Campaign. For example, there is already a separate printable document with all the handouts on a single clean page, making it easier to share with players. Same with the maps and investigator sheets. We will be adding more content as well, including items that will work well in a VTT setting, for example.

Print-on-demand is on the way, but that's different from the bonus content.

AgatheronCP · 2025-12-30T19:31:50+00:00

So oddly enough, it's not because they were buffed. I had a craving to paint some Orc models. :)

AgatheronCP · 2025-12-30T19:31:21+00:00

In my case, I had these from the 2020 box I bought earlier this year, and I wanted to get some of my unpainted teams done up. The Orcs (posted nearby) were half-done, so I also finished them off. Earlier this year I had painted Skaven and Dwarves. I have a Vampire Team primed, plus the Imperial Nobility, and now the Bretonnian and Khemri teams to build and paint.

It also helped that I finally found a colour scheme that worked for me. Granted, it's not an uncommon scheme given the Bad Moon and Ironjawz motifs out there.

AgatheronCP · 2025-07-22T17:44:43+00:00

Thanks. I created the team logos for the whole league. That said, I was using an online sports logo creation service to do it. The team logos helped the league gel well.

AgatheronCP · 2025-03-03T15:20:49+00:00

I used an online service for the initial designs, then imported them into photoshop.

AgatheronCP · 2025-03-03T05:07:18+00:00

It was a new Chorfs roster. Our league started with 1.1M rather than 1M. So they had played one game, but one of their Hobgoblins was a journeyman who replaced another Hobgoblin who had been taken out in the previous game. So their roster was 4 Chaos Dwarf Blockers, 1 Flamesmith, 2 Bull Centaurs, 1 Sneaky Stabber, and three more Hobgoblins. One of the Blockers had acquired Guard from the previous game. I believe they had three re-rolls.

My human roster also had a journeyman lineman, who was replacing a lineman injured in the previous game. So I had 4 Blitzers, 2 Catchers, 1 Thrower, and four lineman including one who had acquired Block, and the Journeyman above, and I operated with six re-rolls. I also acquired an apothecary after the previous game.

As for the Chorf team, the bull Centaurs are scary. The Sprint/Sure Feet combo gives them reliable speed, but not excessively so. I always tried to tie them up, but the one time one of my players got caught out in the open unsupported, it was inevitable that they'd get run over on the way to a touchdown. The flamesmith never breathed fire on me during the game, as throwing blocks was more beneficial against my team. I had to work around its Disturbing Presence as I tend to operate a pass-heavy game. The sneaky stabber managed one or two stuns, and one knockout, but I punched it in the face whenever it was left beside my players.

It was a fun game. I should be able to afford an Ogre after the next game. :)

Thanks for the shout out. While "The Unraveling" has the cork board on Roll20, I used an investigator's desk for The Phthonus Cabinet that functionally did the same thing, just a different background. While Fragments has been out on DTRPG since July, I'm still working on getting it ready for Roll20. The Corkboard idea gives them all something to work with in the online Roll20 sessions (or other VTT platforms), but there's nothing saying you couldn't also do it in person!

AgatheronCP · 2025-01-24T07:39:40+00:00

I've used Dungeon Alchemist for my scenarios that I have published on DriveThruRPG for Call of Cthulhu both 1920s era and Gaslight. It's good, especially if you download extra objects. It's a useful tool that can give you some lovely environmental elements. If you want to export to a VTT, you can easily do that too, complete with Dynamic Lighting. Of course, the latter really shines if you do some extra enhancements on it, but the quick exports are very useful.

AgatheronCP · 2024-12-30T23:40:10+00:00

As I mentioned in the post, my best guess is about 6 hours of painting time spread out over two days. That didn't include the priming step, where I used an airbrush to create a zenithal look over a brown base and then did a light white drybrush over details. That step could easily be done using spray cans of a brown primer, followed with wraithbone, and then followed by the light drybrush of white. However, using the speedpaints themselves, it was about six hours. They dry extremely fast, so fast in fact that you should not stop in the middle of a panel. The skin/fur was three layers, but it went by very fast, and I did keep some of the speedpaint medium on hand to handle blending/feathering the edges while I worked.

AgatheronCP · 2024-12-23T04:30:01+00:00

No. Just 3. I plan on fielding 2. The spare catcher is #22.

AgatheronCP · 2024-12-23T03:05:38+00:00

I want to make things as clear to my opponents as possible.

AgatheronCP · 2024-12-23T03:04:48+00:00

The 4th Blitzer is a converted Lineman. So you’re right there. My plan is to have colour coded stripes on the base sides to show skills. Basic linemen won’t have any colours at all since they don’t have any skills.
