A new way to paint skeletons
A bone recipe I found by accident on an Infinity commission: blue and orange ink under an airbrushed skin tone, then stippled white. Skelly Joe, about four hours.
How to make terrain glue
Sealing scratch-built terrain with watered-down PVA: the 50/50 mix, the two drops of dish soap that make it soak instead of bead, and how to stop it gluing itself to your table.
Making stats for our teaspoon pet
Rolling up a pet in Teaspoon: a d8 down the line, the modifiers your creature type brings, and when to just pick a nature instead of rolling it.

Making basing texture out of sand, PVA and cheap paint. Why all-purpose sand and not playground sand, and why this still beats a pot of texture paste at scale.
Spicing up some relic blade tokens.
Finishing the Relic Blade cardboard tokens with a black paint marker around the edges and a dome of Mod Podge Dimensional Magic on each face.
Super fast OSL
Quick airbrush OSL pass on yesterday's model: Warlord Purple, Squid Pink, and a watered-down white blend wet-on-wet. Two minutes, first finished model of 2026.
Another easy way to paint faces
Yesterday's face was underpaint and glaze. Today's face is Sunny Skin Tone, one Army Painter Dark Tone wash, and a couple of dots for eyes — about ten minutes start to finish.
How to speed paint faces

Failed attempt at NMM tutorial
Recorded a full non-metal metallic tutorial, lost the footage, and laid in highlight passes anyway to keep the streak alive — plus calling time on a model I've got a hundred hours into.
Highlighting black
Glazing up from Tenebris Gray to pearl gray for the dark panels — plus a sink ripping off the wall, another bout of sickness, and thoughts on a new Army Painter wet palette.
My minimal solo rpg kit
