Happy Thanksgiving 2023: What’s On Your Hobby Table?

By Rob Baer | November 23rd, 2023 | Categories: Uncategorized

Happy-ThanksgivingHappy Thanksgiving y’all! I always take time today to be thankful for friends, family, and for being so blessed to be part of this great hobby community!

I’m also thankful for all our great readers being here to share it with me as well!  Once again, the big question is, what projects were you working on last year around this time, and what are you working on now?

This year has been a bit slow on the hobby front for me; however, I did have time to paint up these bottletoppers for the new Army Painter Speed Paints.

I think they turned out great!

In 2022 I started playing a lot more Marvel Crisis Protocol and got into Star Wars Legion. Here’s the start of my Rebels army.

I’m also experimenting with base coating metals with metallic paints or just using a grey-black mix or shade of Speedpaint to save even more time!

In 2021 I painted this Deadpool Miniature for Marvel Crisis Protocol with the new Army Painter Speedpaint.

When the rest of the speedpaint hit, I hoped to paint up the rest of my MCP minis pretty fast using this dope pre-shade recipe I came up with!

Back in 2020, I finished up loyal Iron Warriors Impulsor around Thanksgiving.

In 2019, I put the finishing touches on the Octo-Baneblade and fully magnetized the Warbringer Titan (weapon power feeds, too).

In 2017 I had just finished up a Carnasaur on stream for the launch of Total War Warhammer II.

Happy Thanksgiving y’all enjoy the day!

What were you working on at last year’s break and now?
