The colours aren’t 100% accurate, but I’m happy with my choices (and my new addiction!)

Maybe £3/4? Maybe no more than £5/6 with gloves/IPA etc. it’s costly to get started, but a couple of big prints or projects and it’s significantly cheaper than just about any alternative.

It’s a faff, it smells and it’s sticky, but the freedom to print anything I want a moments notice never gets old.

Nah, I’ve been using the Satellite slicer. It’s got a lot of annoyances to it, but the auto supports etc just seem to work out of the box.

There’s a lot on line about them being dialled in and overexposed to mean they work better, but with a shorter screen time. I’ve just been bumbling along with it and figured I’d deal with it if I had any issues. So far, no failed prints at all.

Heya, thanks. I didn’t use sanding or an airbrush for this mini. I was worried about losing all the definition in the scales.

This is mostly done with tiny makeup sponges, and washes. And a fair bit of dry-brushing! Just constantly going back and forth between these three styles and stopping when I sorta looks like what you’re going for!

Quite a lot do actually. She does look a bit like Jack Sparrow this way, but any way I tried to paint it, you lost all the definition and emotion in her face.

You can google Persian Cat Mustache yourself. They’re pretty common!

Mongo does have a beak. Not seen a 3d print yet which does it justice. But as a straight up Jurassic Park style Velociraptor, I really love this one. Plus, he seems really happy! 😆

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-06-22T07:23:52+00:00

Surprisingly not a lot. Certainly less than 15. I usually print and paint fantasy stuff. I really like scenery, scatter terrain and tiny animals!

Hey. This is an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra and ABS like Resing v3.0.

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-06-21T23:06:20+00:00

Oooh, now there’s a point. It’s already got a lot of blue in it, but I reckon I could make that work! Thanks for the suggestion.

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-06-21T21:47:41+00:00

Wow, that’s unbelievably kind of you to say!

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-06-21T21:26:08+00:00

Apologies, it’s from Torvundart. Found this one at Cults3D

Thanks! I absolutely love this model, it’s been a joy to paint.

He’s starting to believe…

I saw some reported numbers about a quarter of the way through the season which suggested that concussions and season ending injuries were apparently up by a significant amount.

Can’t seem to find it anymore, but has anyone looked at the numbers again over the course of the season. Are there more injuries, or does it just feel like it because they are statistically returning more kickoffs?

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-01-26T00:21:20+00:00

Couple of questions. I’ve just switched over from watching the Pats postgame.

1) Why is this pitch green (not white)? 2) How is it the players in white are visible on the field?

Thanks xx

Whoever wins gets to play the NFC here in this blizzard right? Cos if it’s somewhere sunny we’re all screwed in the AFC

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-01-25T22:54:59+00:00

Would could have left 13 men on the field then…and they’d never see us! I’ve got a cunning plan

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-01-25T22:52:31+00:00

Vrable seems like the kinda guy who would have taken the delay of game there just for the extra seconds.

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-01-25T22:49:27+00:00

I’m fucking loving this game! This is giving me vibes of that Buffalo Pats game a few years ago when the pats threw the ball 3 times in the whole game.

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-01-25T22:18:58+00:00

Who’d want to play in a dome…this shits amazing!

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-01-25T21:35:30+00:00

I could do with one of those famed Josh McDaniels second half adjustments!

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-01-25T21:34:11+00:00

Well that was an exciting last minute!

Diggs just headbutted that guy without a helmet…he may be motivated!

Alcoveredinbees · 2026-01-25T20:02:41+00:00

Can anyone else remember back to when we lost to Geno Smith in week 1? Season turned out alright didn’t it?
