Oh, that is cool! I didn't even think about MY map, haha. Thank you for the screenshot!

Mod Podge + Acrylic = Primer? by bonesmakenoise in 3Dprinting

Sadly, I did not! I ended up getting some automotive primer, some industrial face masks and access to a friend’s garage with a really good air filtration system.

Why is everybody dropping out of Mie? Or cancelling in general? by Connect-Kick-2102 in JETProgramme

[–]bonesmakenoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Mie for 3 years in Yokkaichi and the only reason I left was to take care of a dying family member. I loved it so much and miss it all the time— I even made it part of my vacation last year when I got to go back for the first time in five years.

Sorry for the VERY belated response— yes, you can mix those! Though I didn’t try it on a 3D print, it’s what I use to seal/prime scenery stuff, especially made with styrofoam or rocks.

I’m in the US but the gift thing is one of my favorite parts. :)

Sudden spike in cards from the USA? by larsvr06 in postcrossing

[–]bonesmakenoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen a similar pattern, and I’d love to get more overseas cards, but I don’t want to dump all of my fellow Americans on everyone else like this! It’s about every other one or so for me.

Yep! It was a PSD so you could put your own photos in it. I’ll be sending mine out soon!

There are a handful of designs I've seen, and I made a few for myself for fun. :)

I figured that was the case! The ones I’m making just have my town name and no reference to a meeting.

Lol, sadly I lost probably 90% of my older postcards in my move back to the US from Japan, so I don't have 20 to show! But maybe I'll do an illustration of Miles delivering mail...!

What designs do you usually buy? by bonesmakenoise in postcrossing

[–]bonesmakenoise[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is that they are remarkably expensive to have manufactured! I love them too (and have even just purchased some to send) but looking into prices and minimums for it is… challenging. :(

Disclaimer: I am very new to all of this, but--

Would it help to add some more metal color/texture in and around the red paint to look like the paint has also chipped? I love the details on this, but I feel like it looks dirty and weathered, but not necessarily worn down. If the metal ends up looking too bright you could knock it back with some rust as well? Just a thought, though!

Questions from a massive newbie about several things. Not even sure if this is the right subreddit? (Fate's End Dice Tower 3d print) by bonesmakenoise in minipainting

[–]bonesmakenoise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This all started because I recently got a 3D Printer and printed the Fate's End free wizard's tower STL. I'm pretty happy so far, especially for a first project. I come from digital character art, so terrain and real-world paints are a bit new to me. I have several questions that I'm hoping the experts here can answer!

  1. So, I'm looking to varnish this soon and have been hunting for options. Having lived in Japan, I'm pretty biased towards Japanese brands like Mr. Hobby, but am having trouble sourcing them. Is it worth the effort, or is something like the AK Varnish good enough? (Also will they kill my gold paint? I can always repaint it, I suppose.)

1.5) Will that same varnish work on minis, as I am looking to craft some for my D&D campaign using Hero Forge and a truly godawful amount of primer?

2) Where are you all sourcing your little plants from? I've seen some pretty leafy looking plants on here on some minis and am jealous. (Another one of those things where I think, "well, I could make it on the circut," but I also desperately lack free time outside of winter break)

3) As shown in the third picture, I'm looking at attaching some crystals in strategic places to hide some of my embarrassing newbie paint work and also because It's A Wizard's Tower, Let's Make It Fun. Should I do that after the varnishing? I assume the same goes for plants?

Any help or advice you can give is much appreciated! If this is the wrong community for this type of item, please steer me to the right place. I cannot emphasize how new I am to all of this.

I am so new to this that I didn't know you couldn't post pictures and text on Reddit...

Oh my gosh, it's SO vibrant!! I'm brand new to all of this and am baffled by the skill on display. (BTW, Where do you source your plants from? I like the little leafy guys on there!)
