I’m feelin’ pinks for some reason. Looks great so far!

This spectral feline trifecta depicts the core cat emotions of "exploratory bap," "murder leap" and "fear of death as though I have just turned around to see a cucumber on the floor."

Did you know that every month, I add one STL from the release into a free welcome pack that is immediately available to anyone who subscribes on Patreon? (and it's only $3) Check it out! www.patreon.com/cw/StrangeSt...

An image that says "teh welcome package grows! One free STL added monthly! On Patreon" - and it shows a bag with an arrow pointing inside, with several 3D renders of tabletop miniatures.

Thank you so much!! For a while I was rendering them without backgrounds because it was faster but there’s something lost without more surfaces to reflect light off of. It seems 🤔

Strange Stables Miniatures @strangestables.bsky.social · 3d

This month, I spent some time devising a better rendering environment - something with a little depth, but still not pulling focus from the minis. I'm really happy with this nondescript geometric field even though that sounds like sarcasm as written. 🟪💖

Amazing!!

Oh god I forgot the #nerdlings hashtag, now this post will fade into obscurity 😞

I think my favourite thing about the entire October release might be this craptacular recreation of the 1st edition Monster Manual cover. 100% unnecessary as anyone who prints it will see a grey rectangle. But also vitally necessary.

A side by side of the first edition dnd monster manual and a recreation of it in a 3D render. It has a red dragon, white unicorn, and brown centaur.

Awesome work! Also, the phrase “modular nuns” is *chef kiss*

Sadly I have yet to purchase a 3D printer - I have my buddy at Goose Minis test the prints for me every month so with my limited knowledge I’m not 100% sure what I’m seeing but I know it’s borked lol

Strange Stables Miniatures @strangestables.bsky.social · 10d

Haha aww man that’s a really good idea for these actually since honestly I can’t imagine anyone printing the dead fish big enough for over the fireplace lol

Strange Stables Miniatures @strangestables.bsky.social · 10d

Oh shit I’m sorry to hear that - what brand was it? I hope that’s a relatively easy fix 😬

Strange Stables Miniatures @strangestables.bsky.social · 11d

Oh that would be awesome!!! It would be a dream to see you paint something I modeled :D good luck with fixing it! Broken parts?

An instalment of WTF is that where the ‘W’ stands for “Wumpus”

I went the “airbrush everything all at once so you’re more obliged to finish them” route. We’ll see if it works.

A large amount of tabletop miniatures that have been base coated by an airbrush - they are a wide variety of colours and are scattered in a steel dish.

I imagined this coming out of the chest of Soundwave in cassette form but either way it’s so cool nice work.

Strange Stables Miniatures @strangestables.bsky.social · 17d

My first set of scatter #terrain - of course, it had to be very silly. Here are a few of my favourites from the set.

#paintingminiatures #miniatures #dnd

“Poorly hidden treasure.”Gems and coins in plain sight with other objects. These are scatter terrain for tabletop gaming

A dead fish with its mouth stuffed with a gem.

A piggy bank with uncanny valley humanity.
