Hi there!
I'm a resin printer hobbyist with a file hoarding problem and absolutely zero regrets about it. I’ve built a new free tool for other people like me that might have a similar problem.
It’s called 3D Print Manager.
It lets you download files from any website straight into your library, organize with smart folders, preview models interactively, and manage your build plates from start to finish.
Use code SENDHELP for 50% off the pro tier if you want to support a fellow hobbyist.
Thanks for taking a look — I genuinely hope it helps!

Welcome all to the 135th round of the Dakka Painting challenge. For the unfamiliar, this is a friendly painting competition open to members of all skill levels and experience, whether your entry is your first or you thousand-and-first time painting miniatures. Each month, finished entries are collected into a thread where the community can vote on their favorite pieces, and those votes go towards an annual overall League that runs for 12 rounds.
This month the topic is: Hunter and the Hunted: Rangers, inquisitors, assassins, snipers, and other combatants who search for the enemy and destroy them. Also woodland creatures, grots or othering things targeted for the hunt. Or cross the streams and paint up a fox assassin. Lots of woodland adventure minis out there. Things that stalk the night and their prey.
- You may enter up to 5 MODELS as a SINGLE ENTRY, and are permitted one entry per member per month. If you enter multiple models, they should ideally be related in some way, such as part of the same squad, unit or scene if you are doing a diorama
- You may enter at any time during the month, up to the last minute. We do encourage people to enter early, as to be part of the community, but if you can’t start until the 11th hour, that’s OK.
- You MUST post a 'proof' picture of your entry in the thread of the state it was in before you started working on it; this must be either unassembled, unpainted, primed or coated a single colour. Entries that do not submit a valid Proof Picture will not be eligible for voting.
- After this, you may post WIP pictures in this thread and your own if you wish, and on completing the entry, you may post up to 6 final pictures IN THIS THREAD that will then be used for voting. Please note that pictures in a montage or collage picture will be considered individual images for this purpose, so while these types of presentation are ce...

A reboot as the old thread was tearing itself apart at the seams.
To kick things off, have popped various BattleTech support vehicles off their bases and applied basing material to them.

JOHN BLANCHE'S EN GARDE
Now that the Trench Crusade rulebook is safely in the hands of the production crew, it seems like a good moment to talk about a little project I have been working on in my spare time. I would like to introduce you to the world of John Blanche’s En Garde.
About a year ago, after his retirement from GW, John summoned me over to discuss an idea he had for a game. It was something he had been thinking about and planning for years. He revealed to me a wondrous stack of illustrations of warriors drawn in his inimitable and iconic style. He wanted to create a game of fast and furious fantasy duels in 54mm scale. One model per side. Brilliant. There was no way I was going to pass up this opportunity, or let anyone else make this game. Myself and John haven’t worked together on a project for over 20 years. The stars aligned and this felt like the right time to reunite.
Imagine then if you will, a city upon water where the greatest duellists of the age engage in sanctioned swordfights. In the alleys and half-submerged palaces you will find a vampiric aristocrat crossing swords with the most ferocious buccaneer captain or a refined master fencer from the far east. Here epee meets the sabre and cutlass clashes with a rapier. Here your quick wits, sharp reflexes and bright steel determine who lives and who dies.
As a quick teaser, here are some glimpse of the models made for the game as well as some of John’s character design work. As for myself, I’ve been wrestling with the age-old design dilemma of how to make one on one duels on tabletop exciting, varied and replayable. And I can’t wait to reveal how I’ve cracked it.
More news on John Blanche’s En Garde later this year. Once more unto the breach, old friend.

So, I discovered the joy of papercrafting at a young age when I could not afford to get model kits but maybe once a year with birthday money, or whatever family gave me for Christmas. Later, I left the paper behind when I was out on my own right up until I had kids of my own and they ate my wallet. With not too much disposable income, I came back to paper somewhat. Then one day, I discovered what silveroxide was doing here on Dakkadakka, and thus began my quest to build a decent motor pool of paper vehicles!
My first project was a BMP-2 inspired replacement for the venerable Imperial Guard Chimera. I cannot say I am the biggest fan of the WWI and inter-war period style of most Imperial Guard designs, so this really grabbed my attention. Better, it shows the real genius of it's designer, Eli Patoroch.


For scale (I had to create it at 96% to fit the templates onto 8.5 x 11.00 US Letter paper from ISO size), but you cannot really tell next to the miniatures. Building is a David Graffam papercraft building, and still both the vehicle and building look great for the gaming table.
