Terror Bird

I’m currently painting a Kinder Surprise Egg bird from the Natoons series. 

I’m a bit stuck with the project. The miniature doesn’t have sculpted feathers, so I decided to paint feathers which takes much more time than I originally thought.

While I’m confident that I can finish painting this bird soon, my original plan was to paint six terror birds to use them as a unit of lesser war beasts in Dragon Rampant or for other games.

By the speed I’m going this might take all year …

Bit Box

Two years ago my son took apart all of his toys and put the pieces in ziplock bags, separating screws, motors, batteries, plastic parts etc.

He made some fantastic looking machines. Then he lost interest. 

It has become a tradition in my family to take out boxes filled with old toys at the beginning of the year, take a look at them and sort out as much as we can. This year we were able to give away a lot of plush toys, a doll, two light sabers and a wooden puzzle.

Inspired by the work of Ana Polanšćak I kept this bit box. I hope to make something out of it eventually, a terrain piece, a steampunk robot, a vehicle, I don’t know yet …

Happy New Year!

I wish you all the best for 2024!
