New office update, minis, and more! BTS #105
🕑 Added 2021-12-15 14:15:44 +0000 UTCThe move into the new office has been gradual. This is what we've done so far. I've picked up a lot of bits and bobs that are fairly unglamorous like..
..a mirror for above the sink..
..and coat hooks so there's somewhere for your jacket during the colder seasons. We've also moved all the stuff for merch/product fulfillment into the new office.
It's still messier than I want it to be, but everything happens in stages. This is definitely the first room I want to sort out mostly because it's the easiest. Also what's going on in this room is some low voltage work!
Paul, a patron of mine, came over to the office and installed this rack and patch panel and added a few ethernet ports around the office where I plan on having computers. He also added some XLR and HDMI ports in various locations to make streaming and recording easier/cleaner looking!
Some ports in the ceiling to make running cables easier. This way they can just drop down into the gear instead of running along the floor and then going up to the fixtures/cameras. Everything looks 10x more professional than if I did this.
Like I mentioned in my video, I plan on have a streaming desk right next to this pillar that will work for both the gaming area and painting area so all the cables will get plugged in here.
Amber and myself worked on assembling chairs for the new podcast setup because they arrived.
Also, the doggies got to visit.
They chairs also recline...
Aside from all that, there's just a lot of stuff moved over to the new office. Stuff that I don't use all the time for my average videos. The organization is...a bit lacking at the moment.
New rug for one of the smaller sets to help with audio reverberation.
2 new LC-160s I picked up on black friday for the gaming area and a bunch of minis I'm planning on giving away.
Endless boxes....Aside from the new office, I've been working on a 3D printing video.
Phrozen sent me their new 8k Sonic Mini printer so I'm pitting it against a 4k and 2k printer in a series of tests exploring what high resolution really means for 3D printing.
Here are some of the minis I've been printing as a test. Before I got to this point, however, I ran them all through several iterations of the Amerilabs Town Test to make sure I was using optimal settings for each one based on the resin I picked for the tests.
This little model has several features littered across it that test various elements of a 3D print mostly related to correct exposure times. In my own personal hobby, I've done some more painting of Greyjoy figures.
This is Wendamyr and Rodrik Harlaw, respectively. Both sub 2hr speed paints. These are two NCUs (non combat units) that I use fairly frequently! That's it for now. Hope you guys are doing well!
PAINT MORE MINIS!

Wow, super cool bro. Love the new space and it looks like you're coming right along. Can't wait to see the near end results as I'm sure it'll be a work in progress until you outgrow that space as well.
hahaha
That rug really ties the office room together!

Love it! It's so exciting watching it all unfold, can't wait to see more!
What a wonderful process of moving places. Do you enjoy it? 😊
That's a great idea, Avery. I still have friends who live in my hometown that have children that attend a miniature war gaming club. I have donated quite a few miniatures, tools, and supplies to them because I love the idea of giving back to the community I came from.

Marvelous progress papa! ❤️🥺

Give Paul a TUP mug for that effort, sexy cable management! The office space is coming along, I imagine it'll be chaotic until you have everything you need and can then properly sort it and allocate spaces for things. Your 2 hour speed paints look better than my models do, clearly I need to paint more minis XD

Love the update! Happy to see how everything is going. That coatrack especially is a really fun taste. If you’re looking to give minis away, it isn’t the most glamorous but kids’ game clubs (including Boys & Girls Clubs) and teen center would LOVE to get new games in. There’s been a way bigger push for bringing mini painting and things to that age group (I’m doing it at my Club) and having that kind of support would be great. There’s also tax benefits lol
