What we do

Four disciplines. One bench.

Painting

Tabletop armies and display pieces, built up in thin layers with Pro-Acryl, AK Interactive and Kolinsky sable. From Battle Ready to Display Quality.

3D Modeling

Sculpted in Blender and Nomad, engineered in Fusion 360. Printed in-house in resin before any file leaves the bench.

Workspace Engineering

Modular organizers, magnetic bench systems and printer upgrades. Designed because we needed them, tested because we use them.

Education

Tutorials, project logs and breakdowns. Every workflow documented, mistakes included.

Zigan · Budgie Pirate

A practice run from our Discord: I rolled the Science Fiction deck and drew card 16. With a strong lime green, a yellow and a blue to work with, I'm going for macaw-style feathers on our budgie.
