Could try 3D printing. I recently picked up an Ender 3 printer and have been having a lot of fun. I’m in a pretty good spot with a few figures printed and I’m ready to start doing the clean up and polishing type stuff. After I feel like I have a good process I’ll start figuring out the best ways to paint.
It’s been a fun hobby with a seemingly endless amount of depth, so there’s always something to learn or just improve your current process.
The printer I got, plus the filament was around $195 to get started. Budget permitting I think its a fun creative outlet.
Yeah fuck those guys. Had an awning built over our patio and didn’t even get through the whole summer before one started digging a hole into one of the rafters. Our backyard is now a no-fly zone for those bastards.
