woopy

I've been slowly modifying my joytoy Ahriman to replace all the weird rubbery feeling original cloth bits with actual cloth, and now he's fully dressed \o/! This has been a big project, mostly because I kept changing my mind and second guessing myself...

The tassels at the front attach with magnets, and so does the cloak. I resculpted the collar/gorget area to fit the magnets and look OK when I take them off; the tassels themselves are stitched with little nail decorations I found in my Pile of crafting junk. The cloak and tabard are made from some of the many scraps of silk fabric I've accumulated. The... heavier thing that hangs over the tabard... I have no idea what to call it, but it's made of polymer clay and then each segment is strung on very thin wire. All the accessories can be removed and switched out for whenever I inevitably make another set with the knowledge I've gained from the first time round.

Hundreds and thousands(ons)

"Favourites" mini chocolate bars (including Cherry Ripe)

Packing peanuts

Decorative aquarium gravel

Iron filings

Shredded newspaper

it turns out that painting a character miniature is like a supercharged version of rotating blorbo in your head, because you're also rotating them in your hands. guess who i am painting

first set is a few of the things i said about my progress on the mini, and taking my nickname of beetle head too seriously

i don't do shooters but watching other people play space marine 2 has been fun
