Since I'm getting closer to actually painting some of my ork models, and an ongoing theme for the larger models and terrain is graffiti, I thought it would be fun to include a recurring character.

This is a tagger grot from that will be making an appearance a few places soon.

Final assembly for submission to

Two-Headed Sqarg Attack!!!

A few parts didn't make it into the final build because they ended up not really working together. But the sqargnado siren will live on as a terrain piece at least.

I'm going to take a few days to clean up some half assembled bits on my desk before going back into to paint this monster.

I'm also planning another diorama build using my models from last year.

Stay tuned

The bottom half of the Two-Headed Sqarg is complete! The chompy half is almost done printing, and then I'll round out the day printing the smaller parts and a few bits for the other parts of the diorama.

This week I'll get the assembly finished and take my final submission pictures.

It took far too long to merge these parts, and then slice it again. BUT... the Two-Headed Sqarg is finally printing.

Test Print #2 was also a success!

Tomorrow I can finally get the Two-Headed Sqarg printed and finish the kraftklash25 diorama.

I got lucky and it got much warmer yesterday than I think it was supposed to. The studio stayed at my minimum safe temp for printing. I ran a space heater this morning for a bit of padding and started a larger test print.

With any luck I'll have my Two-Headed Sqarg printed tomorrow!

First, I wanted take a minute to show off my Sqarg-nado siren. Bananorc for scale.

Da Good:

My replacement screen showed up 2 weeks ahead of schedule. It was originally due just before the end of the competition. I have a test print running now.

Da Bad:

Monday afternoon it was in the 80s, and then a season changing weather front came through and it was 38 degrees (f) the following morning. My studio is the only room in the house not connected to the central air (it's off the back of the house and is built on the old patio concrete). So it's going to take a few extra meks, a very inebriated Wuurrrrboy, and more dead Gretchen than you can shake a squig at to guarantee I get a big print to run perfect on the first try.

Da Uglee:

I lost a solid 10 days of building and painting due to a massive invasion of disease into our home. I've had covid before, this was it's biggest brother and was aggressive. Our youngest, who is special needs, ended up in the ER, and then developed pneumonia.  Our middle kid somehow got hand foot and mouth 5 days into his covid stint. And I was the last to get it, leaving me a slobbering feverish pickle for 3 solid days.

So my submission for will be assembled only, and obviously sans the clear resin. I want to spend more time painting than I will have before contest end. It sounds weird but I'm really excited to paint a variety of ork themed trash! I printed off a bunch of neat bits from zabavka workshop. I'll still continue the project after submission obviously, and you can keep following the progress right here.

I should be back tomorrow night (friday) or maybe the next morning with some screenshots of the Two-Headed Sqarg

Stay tuned
