I have the 2017 version I think which doesn't even have that Netflix button. My issues are that it will very rarely and randomly lose pairing from the Shield, and that it has only four non-directional buttons with one wasted on a google voice assistant I can't imagine anyone on Earth ever using

My final miniature painted as a Christmas gift, and my final miniature of 2025! This kingfisher, doing a bit of fishing with his mouse rider, was a fun and fiddly model that is a bit different from most of my usual fare. Model by Rescale Miniatures. #minipainting #miniaturepainting #ttrpg
A painted miniature of a kingfisher fishing with his mouse rider. The kingfisher has teal, white, and orange plumage and has a silver fish in his mouth. He stands on a branch above some rocks, small grass, and a body of water. His mouse rider stands on his back clad in leaf-and-twig armor and is pulling up a bucket of fish for himself. Front view of the kingfisher and rider Other side view of the kingfisher and rider Rear view of the kingfisher and rider.

Thanks! That’s very kind of you to say. I can only credit that I try and get a lot of reps in and experiment with new things with each project. I compared the cloak/fabric I did on these guys with my first one, early 2023, and the difference was remarkable

More Christmas miniatures! I painted up the official WoTC minis for Lae'zel and Shadowheart of Baldur's Gate 3 for a fan in the family. I had to find out how Shadowheart's personal quest resolved in order to get the paint job right... #dnd #baldursgate3 #minipainting #miniaturepainting #ttrpg
Painted miniatures of Shadowheart and Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3. Shadowheart has white hair (as per one possible outcome of her personal quest) and wields Selune's Spear of Night (my version, anyways). Lae'zel gets some fancy armor with gold trim and a slick two-handed sword. Another angle on Shadowheart, showing some freehanded decoration on her tabard. Another angle on Lae'zel, showing off some of the detail work. Yet another angle on Lae'zel, with slightly better light levels...

Posting some minis that I painted up as Christmas gifts! First up, a small retinue of bunny knights that I gifted to a bunny fan. Had a lot of fun experimenting with the Vallejo TMM! Models by Dragon Trapper's Lodge. #minipainting #miniaturepainting #ttrpg
A set of four painted miniatures, bunny knights. They are wearing green armor with gold trim and purple cloth accents. There is a champion, a banner carrier, a musician, and a toad rider with a lance The musician bunny, from an alternate angle The banner carrier bunny, from an alternate angle The banner carrier bunny, from behind

Some speedpainted/slapchopped minion miniatures for a friend to use in his D&D campaigns. Tried to practice working quickly with good coverage and brush control, took me about 2 sessions. Not bad! #minipainting #miniaturepainting #ttrpg #dnd #d&d #speedpainting
Five painted miniatures of rogues/cultists/assassins. They are painted with blue, green, red, and purple hoods/cloaks/robes Five painted miniatures. Two are barbarians, one in a burgundy color scheme and the other in orange and yellow. The remaining three are a zombie, skeleton, and possessed person (?) done up with ethereal paint to make them look ghostly Seven painted zombie miniatures in a variety of clothing colours and undead skin tones Five painted skeleton miniatures in green, blue, burgundy, orange, and pink

I decided to interpret the Hell Knights as “demons trapped in and animating rusted out, beaten to crap suits of armour that are mostly ill-maintained”

Haven’t finished a miniature in ages so I’m happy to call these Trench Crusade Hell Knights finished! A fun experiment to see how I could add rust, grime, oil, and some fancier bases to my repertoire. #trenchcrusade #minipainting #miniaturepainting #ttrpg #hellknights
Three rusted, grimy, hellish knight miniatures. They stand amongst concertina wire and hell-blasted trench bits. One wields a mace and shield, the second a two-handed axe, and the third an “ophidian rifle” The same knights but from behind. They trail heavily rusted chains like capes behind them The same knights but from a slightly lower POV

Finished painting up a D&D mini for a friend this weekend. This halfling barbarian packs a mean wallop with his stone hammer in a “low-metal” setting! #minipainting #miniatures #dnd #d&d #ttrpg #miniaturepaintinh
A painted miniature of a halfling barbarian. He is clad in a mix of bone, wood, and leather armour and armed with a massive two-handed stone hammer in the midst of an overhand swing The same halfling but showing his right side from the front The same halfling from behind, emphasizing his stone greathammer

love this! I had a somewhat similar approach when I did two Chaos Legionnaires as "Nurgle-touched"; I went for "90s G.I. Joe Chem Trooper"/"Toxic Trooper" vibes for the accents
Two painted Chaos Legionnaires from the Warhammer skirmish game Warcry: a Hornshield with a Darkiron Mace and a Hornhelm with a Steelbite Axe. I've done them in yellow/green Nurgle colours but with some bright neon green-y accents

So, I’m pretty happy with how these Royal Beastflayers turned out! I’d like to add a “blood river”/“blood swamp” effect to their bases. Any thoughts on how I could do that with Vallejo still water? #warhammer #warcry #flesheatercourts #minipainting #miniatures
Miniature of a Royal Flaymaster - he’s a nasty customer of a blue ghoul with a bloody halberd for one arm and a skin cape Miniatures of a Ghoulgore Squire, Ghoul Tracker, and Offal Hound. They have pale green skin and are a ferocious bloody mess Another trio of a Ghoulgore Squire, Offal Hound, and Ghoul Tracker. They have pale purple skin and are also a bloody mess Final trio of minis - they are a Ghoul Tracker and Beastflayer Baron with grey skin and a Ghoulgore Squire with blue skin skeleton armour

Miami Vice has a ton of this as @jessehawken.bsky.social has been chronicling. The left is supposed to be a courtroom and the right is a bathroom in a hotel. Booking my hotel room being like yeah can I get the Giant Mask Over the Tub Suite again?
Shot of a courtroom from a Miami Vice episode. I think it's from S2E18 "The Fix". The room is a dramatically lit purple with bizarre grey cube-y desks and accents Shot from Miami Vice S2E17 "French Twist." We are in a WILD room as far as set design goes. The guest star, a French Interpol detective, is in a raised bathtub with black tile. There are pastel purple and green walls and a black-and-white checkerboard bathroom floor. Oh, and there's a HUGE Noh mask (like, person-height?!?) hanging on the wall of the bathroom.

Earlier this week I cleaned up and finished up this D&D Satyr. I think I started painting him in a session over a year ago but never finished. He just needs a bit of static grass on his base and then is ready to go! #miniaturepainting #minipainting #d&d #ttrpg #dnd
A satyr, a jolly/raucous fey creature in D&D. He has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat, but also has horns sprouting from his head. He has a green jerkin, blue hair and a blue beard, a blue and brown tabard, and carries a sheathed sword and a pan flute. The same satyr, but from another angle The same satyr, but from behind.

Detail of the red (fire) head and a bit more of the body. Mini painting is often a pretty solitary hobby so it's fun to find a way to make it something I can do with others in person! #miniaturepainting #minipainting #dnd #tiamat
face-on view of the red (fire) head. It is mostly red with some black, ashy highlights the same head, from its left side. detail of the body and wings, showing the freehanded patterning on the body.

Detail of the black (acid) and green (poison) heads. We tried to go for a "poison frog" look on the poison head, what do you think? #miniaturepainting #minipainting #dnd #tiamat
side view of the black (acid) head. The head is black with some yellow-greenish acid-y highlights the same head, from above. Side view of the green (poison) head. The head is green with black spots and mix of red/orange/yellow detailing that (hopefully) suggests a poison dart frog or other poisonous reptile head-on view of the same head.

Detail of the blue (lightning) and white (ice) heads. One friend did the base layers, I did some contrast layers and shading, and another friend did all the lovely detail work and freehanding. #miniaturepainting #minipainting #dnd #tiamat
View of the left side of the blue (lightning) head. It is primarily blue with yellow accents suggesting the crackling of electricity face-on view of the blue head. view of the left side of the white (ice) head. It's white with some icy blue highlights and accents Face-on view of the same head
