Hi Guys,
Once again I've managed to use the channel's reach to get you guys something cool :) I absolutely love this psycho looking bard, and he's definitely gonna turn up as a villain in one of my campaigns 😁

Hi Guys!
I know the updates recently have been fairly heavy on the STL visuals, but that's mainly because there's been a lot of boring gruntwork to do getting these beasts done for the next bonus video 😁
These temple blocks are not only supremely detailed to match wall tiles, including using the new STL texture rollers and brick...
Hi Guys,
For those of you in the UK, spider magnetics let me know there's a Royal mail strike Thursday/Friday that going to cause some delays, and also wanted to give us advanced warning that they will be closed from September 26th to October 7th, in case any of you guys have any urgent magnet requirements!
Which I thought was nice ...
Hi Guys!
First things first - I got MyMiniFactory working! So you should all have invites to your tier of this month's set of 'thank your for supporting the channel' STLs :)
I've also added the earlier collab to MMF so you don't need to download that either - or this one for that matter! it'll just sit in your MMF library without ...
Hi Guys!
So work is still underway on the new video, new magnets should be arriving today to let me move forward with that part of the project!
In the meantime, work continues on next month's release, with some WIP texture rollers you can see above. These may change depending on performance, I'm printing them now! the initial one w...
Hi Guys!
Me and Faye have been hard at work on the next video - magnetised Temple Blocks! The connection method seems to work well, we're just in the mass production phase 😂
Meanwhile, I've also been hard at work with Fabio designing the next batch of STLs to make life easier and more detailed :) These photos show WIP images of ...
Hi Guys,
Just a quick announcement that I'll be running a paint party on discord on Friday 26th Aug at 7pm BST/2pm EDT - we paint minis, craft terrain, plan D&D and generally just do anything hobby! Or just hang out with company :)
People have said it's great motivation to get stuff done, and I agree :)
Just click the ...
Hi guys,
So, WIP here, the final version will be ever so slightly different (slightly smaller internal spikes, we want prisoners uncomfortable, not impaled!)
This is the first example of the 'brutal' iron set, inspired by mordor, chaos, devils and other such evil, brutal factions.
This is a variant of the cleaner 'indus...
Many thanks to Sammy_Slick, a patron who made it for himself and offered it for use in the index :)
2022-08-17 10:56:58 +0000 UTC View PostHi Guys,
A quick reminder for everyone to download their files, as promised!
Also, someone pointed out the unsupported victimless mimic was missing, so we added it, and added better supports and fixed a minor issue while we were at it :)
Files are uploading now.

Hi Guys,
Just a quick post to upload this awesome little jig made by Remus for the placing of stairblock magnets, and also this little one by Naroe for making sure your cocktail stick holes are all the same angle, if you still use that method :)
The stairblock one is very interesting because its designed to punch a perfect size...

Hi Guys,
So now it isn't a secret project anymore I thought I'd share some progress as we go...
The left is the 'Tribal' bannerpole, perfect for orcs, ogres etc. I really like the texture he got for the 'cut' wood at the tips - you can see it a lot more clearly in the STL :)
The middle is the 'industrial' version of the 'brut...
Hi guys!
So I've been hard at work this week, which I'll get to in a minute because I know some of you want the shiny toys first 😀
I've been talking to a bunch of STL creators to find a way to gain support for the channel from them without doing sponsorships that restrict what minis I can use in videos (and make them less h...
Hi Guys,
So I've just updated the patreon benefits. Not sure if it informs you, but essentially it was mainly to add STLs and remove some benefits I simply can't run anymore, like the livestream (Which everyone who has discord access now gets, and is the paint party!), and the vote.
The vote worked when I was doing one tiny video...
Hi guys!
WELL! After crashing premiere pro while rendering in the heat, accidentally rendering with a stray audio file lying around (And so re-rendering) and spending half a day trying to get that thumbnail right (damn you YouTube...) it's ready!
This video contains a solid stack of techniques I've built up over the past few years ...
Hi Guys!
Well, its nearly half an hour long, and I had to go back and add in two whole sections towards the end - but it's pretty much done :) I'm just waiting on some footage from the sponsor (Fabio, who made those lovely STLs for us!) to slot in, and I can get it rendered (after the obligatory Faye-check to make sure I haven't done some...
Hi Guys!
I was planning on releasing these at the start of August, but as they're all ready now and this is the first batch I don't see any reason to hold back :)
These were EXPENSIVE to get made (all detailed STLs are) but the artist had to be fairly paid!
I absolutely couldn't afford to do this on my own, and future relea...
Hi Guys!
So, contrary to the belief of all those who know me well, I did in fact survive the UK heatwave...barely! And that was WITH portable AC....
As you can imagine I've had a bit of a disrupted week, but I managed to get a solid amount done moving forwards with preparing and painting the new STLs, a) to show off in the video a...
Hi guys,
Just a quick reminder that I'll be running a paint party tonight with a few moderators on discord for 3-4 hours at least (probably more as the moderators will likely keep going!)
If you haven't been before it's a great motivator to get some hobby done, painting or otherwise, or just have some company :)
Hi guys!
This has been so hard to keep secret! I've been working with a sculptor to have 3d printable STLs made for the system 😁
As you can see, I've started with doors, windows and shutters - these all fit perfectly in the existing magnetic building system (exterior AND interior walls!), they're designed to line up perfectly wi...
Hi guys,
Another addition - there are now 4 getting started lists in the equipment list with the appropriate links in each. there are some missing like plaster and GSW texture rollers, mainly because I didn't get round to adding them and also mention where to get them in their respective videos.
Long term I intend to add stuf...

Hi guys,
Just a quick update, I'm working on making the equipment list more organised, smoother to navigate and generally better. Hopefully this will lead to a better experience for you guys, but especially for new people who might get overwhelmed!
I also plan to add a 'getting started' section with lists of stuff people wou...
Hi guys!
So, I've spent much of this weekend working as I recovered from a bad covid patch at the end of last week, making up for lost time so to speak :)
The editing is getting there, its a rather large video (25 minutes) with many small cuts (as usual) so its taking me a while to get everything in place, especially with brain fo...
Early notice! I'll be running a paint party on Friday the 15th at 7pm BST, for at least 3 hours, possibly more if I get some support from one of the mods who have the energy/timezone to stay up later than me 😂
If you haven't been before, it's just a zoom-style hangout where we paint, craft, plan D&D (or just hang out) and talk about...
2022-07-05 14:37:49 +0000 UTC View PostHi Guys!
Quick start of week update - for those new to the patreon I currently have long covid and am working as much as I can while healing :)
I've officially started the editing of the video, talking head and voice lines are being laid out as we speak and I'll be making steady progress with that as best I can, as well as editing t...
Hi Guys,
So I managed to get a permanent 10% off everything set up for JC-Magnetics (the USA magnet supplier) for patrons of the channel :)
Unlike the previous 10% code this one won't run out and works on anything from that store, not just 3x2 n52 :)
The code i...
Hi Guys!
So we're nearing completion on the secret project, I've had the person I hired to work on it (thanks to your support!) working on a final piece to really spice up the reward for you guys :)
All the pieces are useful, and should make crafting quicker, easier and more detailed - but this final piece is just GORGEOUS and sho...
Hi guys!
There is a paint party live on Discord now (6pm BST!) - I'm a bit knackered/low energy and wont be painting myself, but I will be planning D&D at least for a bit so I thought I'd put it up for any of you guys who want some hobby motivation/company :) Come say hi!
Other than that, I've been hard at work getting the vide...
EDIT: live NOW, not live NOT....whoops!
I'm starting to run these whenever I still have a bit of energy/can risk having a dip the next day because its a weekend 😂
If you want to come hang out, say hi, plan d&D, paint minis, make terrain etc I can vouch for it being great motivation! Plus you keep me company :)
Hi Guys!
So I've been busy all week working on a few different things.
Quick shout out for the Discord Paint Party being run by Zarakk tonight at 7-11pm BST (1-5pm CST) - I may be showing up depending on energy levels :)
First and I think most important I've been working on building shelves, an insulation/heated/temperature...
