June 29th Backstop QotD:
Do you use parchment paper when you cook or bake? Or do you only use it in wet palettes for painting?
2 hours ago, Pezler the Polychromatic said:I had bought mine purely for my wet palette, then I found that it was useful for baking various foods in the oven. Weird.
I too bought it for the palette and now keep a roll in the kitchen and a box of pre-cut in the paint desk...
I've also used it for ironing delicate things...☻
Mom learned to bake from her grand mother during the War, and from her mom and aunts...
She passed many of the recipes on to us kids.
Many wonderful Swedish confections!

June 23rd QotD:
Are you a clean or messy person?
7 hours ago, Chaoswolf said:Yes.
By which I mean if there is a health or safety reason for it to be clean, you can safely bet that it is.
My bathroom is clean. My kitchen is clean. My workbench (both at home and work) is a complete disaster.
What he said goes for me as well....
@Chaoswolf, @Glitterwolf I thought you WOOFers had issues with baths....

I'm not that satisfied with how Superglue bonds my resin prints...
So I bought this one, it's supposed to be for resin, let's find out if this works better.
For SCIENCE!
I was at the CT Ren Faire yesterday, and there was an booth selling honest to Hades Miniatures!
(Most pewter booths sell minis along with their other stuff, this one is just minis...)
Turnkey minis started out as a hobby for the dad and kids, and grew into a part time business...
Pretty inexpensive for metal, at abot $2.80 per single figure...
He had lots of "Villagers" sets of different races for $16, but the ORC set was too different to pass up....
His store site is currently down due to server issues, unfortunately...
Nice Guy too...

Got lost on time, watching a bad movie (Shrek Forever After).... When was the last time you "lost time" doing something?
(also Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there in the world & Happy Juneteenth as well.)
Pretty much every day...
Home from work, work around the house til dark or near, and realize I need to eat, take my meds, maybe get to hobby before bed....
Like tonight, except work was all at home....

June 17th QotD:
Have you used a airbrush before? Own? What kind? Any tips?
I have 3...
A siphon feed $20 Badger that I use only for body paint for the Drow costume
A Grex Genesis XS .3mm
an Iwata HP-SB with a .2 mm nozzle
The last 2 are gravity side fed, dual action
These are used for the full gamut of jobs, but mainly base coating with the Grex as it has a bigger nozzle and feed cup.
The Iwata is for more detail work, such as painting camouflage on 15mm armored vehicles
Tips- Clean it, clean it, clean it! Nothing will mess up your brush faster than old paint... It isn't that hard to clean them after use, by now (I've been using the Grex since 2010) it takes less than 5 minutes to clean the brush. Every once in a while I'll spend more time and do a deep cleaning...
No different than what you do with your kolinski sable brush, just different methods...
Practice!
You didn't get to your current skill level with a brush without practice, why should an airbrush be any different?
They are a tool, like any other tool, they have their uses. Fades for instance...
I did Marbrezuk and did fades on his claws using the Grex...
If anyone has the desire, pm me and I will be more than willing to help if I can
I can also demonstrate things on the Hangout if you wish....

It was great to be able to ask each other what the heck this thing on his belt!!!! and just discuss colors, ideas etc...
I also did some very basic airbrushing classes live on the hangouts after setting up times in advance...

So nothing has really gotten done due to massive quantities of adulting...
So some of Flemmy's friends dropped by to keep him company...
The Dragonborn base player,
The Dwarf guitarist,
The Tiefling Cellist(?)
A Girlblin vocalist
His Manager
His pet cat...
And 3 views of @Pezler the Polychromatic, his favorite bartender...
The girlblin is actually a steampunk fig, and I need to replace the gun with a microphone...
The tressym and kobold pirate are just cool....
I have a dwarf drummer printing now, as well as the bartender
