Trash Terrain

    Quick update, I need to get better at posting my finished works, this has probably finished for about a month now. Besides the small ladder, all of this terrain was made with trash, looking up techniques on YouTube. I hope to build enough to play a skirmish game on it with multiple levels of height. 

    My garage is where I pick away at these projects. Here is what is currently on my workbench. This particular build prominently features parts from a printer I dismantled. It's tempting to pick up more printers for scraps as they are usually free and there are so many good details on them. This one printer has given me a lot to work with already.

Next on the Hobby Desk

    I have some more Conan miniatures on the painting desk that should be finished soon. I have also started to assemble the terrain from the second edition of Warcry starter box. This terrain is a pain as there is usually small contact points and multiple interconnecting pieces that don't always fit perfectly. They do look good once assembled, just might be a lot of cursing the terrain designers at GW.

Monster Mayhem Challenge 2025

    While I wasn't as motivated in sitting the hobby room this month, I did get a few things done for the Monster Mayhem Challenge.

    First up, and I am not sure how much these would count, but these five hyenas from the Conan board game. Judging from the size they look more like dire hyenas, towering over the NPC character, Yselda. This seems to be a common theme with my monsters this year, super sized animals/ dead humans. Giant Snake for example. With these enemies painted, I can now play the first scenario with all painted enemies that is, still have the heroes to work on. 

Focus!

    One model that has loitered on, near, around the hobby desk for far too long is my Colossal Skeleton from reaper miniatures. Purchasing the metal figure for way too much money, double the bones version and probably half the headache. It was one of the monsters I was going to paint in 2024, but with a bent base and a snapped arm, I found every excuse to set it down for anything else! I am going to call it a Ogre or Hill Giant Skeleton, which makes it sound more monstrous. I am also going to call it done!

    Last but not least, while out searching Value Village, I found a megabloks set with a large scorpion. The limbs were ball joins that swiveled around which I removes to glue them right to the body with some green stuff for support.

    It was not my intension to paint up monsters that all could fit into Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago, but it is a nice happy accident. 

Next on the Hobby Desk!

    I finished painting my trash terrain, time to post it. Also a glimpse of my next garbage build.
