It’s been a while since the last email and in that time, the last Kickstarter has finished – thank you if you supported me – and I am already working on the next one provisionally scheduled for February next year.  It is a spaceport heavily influenced by both Star Wars and Starfield.  I may have played many days’ worth of that over the last couple of months… and it is research! Why a spaceport?  I put up a poll page on my website:  https://www.kathymillatt.co.uk/the-poll-page/ The results were initially highest for a spaceport but eventually a space station won out. &nbs ..read more

I love this ship – it’s the Transport Delta by 2nd Dynasty – a sister ship to the Millennium Falcon and you can get it on my Kickstarter if you haven’t already! Don’t forget to support the Kickstarter now if you haven’t already – Sign up now! .  I really had to slow down and paint this ship properly – after all the time it has taken to print it is definitely worth making sure it looks amazing. It’s printed at 125% or 35mm for Legion and I hope I can play Spec Ops on it (when I get round to painting the squads!).  Otherwise it would be perfect for an RPG. I must ..read more

One Week To Go! I had no idea just how much was in this Lava Kickstarter until I started painting it all this week…  There are so many models and I am really excited to share them with you. The Dark Keep looms over the lava terrain and I haven’t put on most of the models yet! There is a long list of models to tell you about: Terrain Tiles Corrix includes two sets of terrain tiles: lava terrain tiles and a lava factory.  All the terrain tiles can be used to build an entire modular tabletop using OpenLOCK clips – if you print in clear filament you can even lig ..read more

I am excited to tell you more about my new Kickstarter – Corrix the Lava Moon – coming in a month’s time.  It is all about lava terrain!   Orbiting a distant gas giant in the Severna star system, Corrix hangs as an angry black and blood red moon.  Its lava factory is notorious and it is rumoured to be the hide out of a dark lord.  The natives are unfriendly, the sentry droids programmed to kill and the landscape deadly but your latest mission takes you to its lava strewn surface…   Ignite your tabletop adventures with Corrix: The Lava Moon Modular Terrain and ..read more

As many of you may know if you follow me on other channels such as YouTube or Social Media, I have been struggling a bit to find my way as a full time creator.  I have tried several avenues, such as writing a book (Building Realistic Model Railroad Scenery), being a YouTuber (whatever that is) but the truth is, when I took this plunge, lockdown hit at the same time and a few of the projects I had planned dried up leaving me with very little income! I have also talked a lot about a new job and that did finally come off but it was a lot of overseas travel and I had run my f ..read more

Clone Wars Ice Cave Diorama with the Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro I love the Clone Wars so I wanted to make a diorama to feature a fictional clone squad – it’s an ice cave with a squad including Captain Rex staring up at a huge structure that they were sent to investigate. The ice cave and structure were printed on a new Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro which they sent me. It has produced some stunning prints already and I look forward to printing more on it.
