Siocast Minis Suck? | Hang in there Kitty!

[@DanteMac26]

Hobby tip for you, Reading glasses. Cheap, a variety of magnification levels, and readily available at big box stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores. I go for 2.5x myself

[@utgar131]

Mold making is a field that people can always improve in. I can see different companies have significantly different results using the same siocast machine.

Thanks again! Ready for.more Kobold talks

I recently bounced half a knife blade off my eye. Thankfully no injury beyond a little red on my eyeball, which healed up in a day or so. We think that the back of the blade, where it's blunt, was what hit my eye. Interestingly I was wearing a chainmail glove, so I was certainly thinking about using the PPE that I have access to, but I just forgot to put on the goggles that were within arms reach of me at the time.

[@PaintBravelyThePodcast]

woo, lucky!

[@joshgrillo2482]

Shout out to Flesh of Gods too. Very cool minis. Using some as proxies in cursed city.

[@trailxrage]

Excellent podcast as always gentlemen.

[@SnyperMac1]

I got super glue in my eye a couple years ago, to this day it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt

[@asuranshadow9491]

When I first swapped to reaper from craft paints, the color names helped a lot in picking what color to paint, say, wood on a shield. I do like having the more neutral color descriptions now, but as a beginner painter, having leaf green vs grass green was pretty useful, unlike we scorpey green is

The cat trying to hold on was exactly like the intro to Stray

[@OkieDokieCreations]

Yet another great episode

[@fballoqui]

More kitties!!!!

[@terrencemiltner1005]

Well I was actually thinking of entering the Minotaur I got in the VIP bag last year. But maybe I'll find another mini to do a diorama. Mostly entering just to push my painting in a low-key way

In Scotland, a Ghillie is a sort of outdoorsy servant that assists the wealthy on stag or pheasant shooting trips. It's not a kobold as far as I know.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

but... what if it were also a kobold?? :-)

[@BrickInTheHead]

Oh my god 6:35 i am dead the cats reaction is priceless

[@garyjenson1326]

Brent is your stage name Dee A Rama?😂

[@GoobertownHobbies]

I ain't sayin!

[@OkieDokieCreations]

I laugh every time I use Ghillie Dew and i usually say "Do the Dew"

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hahahah, do the dew, my friend, do the dew!

[@Fox01313]

And if wanting more fun, look at the colors of things made by fashion designers/clothing companies. I used to work with a place & saw some completely insane ones (that tell you nothing about the color) like Alpha, black light heather, stealth gray, sundown, midnight heather navy.

[@Zilchfollower0]

This is all the inspiration I needed to want blood and plunder. Also, Northstar makes a plastic pirate kit for frostgrave. 20 multipart pirates!

[@mycatistypingthis5450]

And if you buy models in that scale, get Frostgrave Wizards 1&2 for a lot of heads and arms.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

ooooh!!! I love their frostgrave sets, I had no idea there was a pirate one, THANK YOU!!! 🙂

[@bluenine85]

Great episode, Brent does this mean you might rig up a sail for your canoe?

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hahaha, well then I would need to cut a hole for a centerboard to be able sail upwind... yup you're right, I think we gotta! :-)

[@bluenine85]

[@GoobertownHobbies]

@@bluenine85 I like the way you think!! :-)

[@TheSianFromAtlantis]

I know that there's a kickstarter i backed - the Trench Crusade one - that wound up delayed on delivery by about a year because there was a shortage of the Siocast plastic. Fortunately that's fixed but i dont know what was going on there.

[@SCCDaMatt]

My Spire Abomination bit me a couple times working on it.

[@netizenkane]

About always wearing safety glasses. A nurse told me that we men should always wear a jockstrap 😅

[@FrozenThrog]

I still haven't done anything siocast yet, so I don't have an opinion myself. But I have heard some grumblings about some rather severe mold slippage. Guess I have to get one of the new infinity TAGs to see for myself.

[@someone1999]

Alias suggestion for Brent: Rob Olds

[@GoobertownHobbies]

a good one, perhaps you've guessed correctly, and perhaps you haven't!

[@Billa2720]

If you do another Kobold talk you can push episode 100 back even further!

[@panimauser970]

Gordon! 😍

[@SnyperMac1]

It took a minute to find that article, they buried it deep i had to search the journalist to even get close to finding it. It was well written and none of you that were interviewed were made to look foolish.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

wooooo we didn't look foolish! Thanks for checkin it out :-)

[@SnyperMac1]

@@GoobertownHobbies it’s a real concern with things that get published through the CBC.

[@netizenkane]

Where did you find it?

[@tando6266]

Yes they do. Battlefront, Infinity, Failcast, and others, they all suck. A model with mold lines that cannot be easily cleaned, for a product that requires easy mold line cleaning is simply a fail. Even when initial models are good, companies refuse to update molds as often as required, which results in more mold lines that cannot be removed. Its great if you like low quality for board games, want high quality pieces, not a chance. Battlefront after years of trying are moving away from siocast as it has resulted in slumped sales due to low quality hurting brand image.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

thanks for the brands to be aware of, I'll try to keep an eye out!

[@bacawaka2813]

Creature caster has some horrible color names but they do include CMYK on their bottle.

[@PaintBravelyThePodcast]

As long as they have the normal paint names on the bottle then it feels like weird names are just for fun, which is fun, but man is it bad when that's all you get!

[@bacawaka2813]

@PaintBravelyThePodcast there are a few names that make no sense. Kevin, Tainted Snow, Kiss N Tell, Yellowstone, waste management, lovely demon, brush hawk, experiment 626, dusk sky, altered lightning, channel 6, chard remains, darkest depths, catacomb linchin, the crash, mermaids tail, the mountain, and gunpowder djinn. Those are the paints I have. 😆 the cymk marking on the bottle helps though.

[@aerynmusick4548]

For the hundredth episode you could have me on to talk about brotherwise games’ Stormlight Archive minis. I mean, I’m nobody, but I’ve guested on a podcast before, I have these minis, and I have OPINIONS

[@GoobertownHobbies]

we only tried a guest once before... and it did not go well... hehehehe I've been starting to hear about these minis though, I WOULD like to see what people think. Even without seeing the minis, I have no idea how to paint shardplate and shardblades... I'm 4 books in and my brain doesn't comprehend what they're supposed to look like.

[@aerynmusick4548]

@@GoobertownHobbies Shardblades and plate that are dead/ wielded by non-radiants are slate grey naturally, and it seems like they’re only a little bit shiny, at least to me. Radiant blades and plate glow. I’ve been using TMM on radiants and NMM on shardbearers to signify the difference and make the living plate/ blades feel more “alive”

[@aerynmusick4548]

Some shardbearers enamel or dye their armor bright colors, too. Haven’t painted any of them yet lol
