Goblin Hobbies

[Grotsmasha]

Brent of Goobertown Hobbies and Casey of eBay Miniature Rescues (Youtubers) have come together to make Goblin Hobbies, and their first project is a "Paint Stamper" that is a kind of replacement to decals.

Here's a link to the Vid and introduction, the product is Coming Soon, but I'm signed up.

I saw something about this! A really cool idea and I'm surprised nobody's done it before.

[DemonGSides]

They were popular last year, had a few buddies trying them out. It's a different paint medium so it can be a bit finicky from what I've heard; these stampers have been used for acrylic nails for a while. 

 

Goobertown hobbies are good people tho so I hope they find success with this.

I wonder how well this would work on curved surfaces like shoulder and knee pads. Also, making the actual stamps in Chapter/Legion symbols might run into copyright issues. 
 

Still, definitely an interesting concept. Transfers never look quite right to me, I hope this works out.

[Ramell]

Interesting idea if it works properly. I'll probably have to try it out.

Here's some more videos on the process;

I actually saw the Goobertown video where they (also) use it yesterday - I mean, the result speaks for itself, but I'm a bit unsure whether it's something I'm going to invest in/use.

[DemonGSides]

I think it makes a lot of sense for shoulder badges but that's about it.  And checkerboards; ork players are probably salivating at the ease lol 

[FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants]

Colour me intrigued.

as others have said - there are nail techiques that use these and I've seen a few videos of the same being done on models. It is the logical progression to have a hobby product to do this too and yes, as an Ork collect, I am indeed salivating! ...and also as a Dark Angels collector - check patterns everywhere!!!!!

[sbarnby71]

Love the idea, think it will take some practice to get it in the right spot - decals allow for repositioning, but I think I'd give it a go.

[Brother Carpenter]

I might see some use for this on my boys in black

[sitnam]

So my wife  said she'd tried the nail version of this previously and couldn't get it to work. I don't know exactly why. I'm really interested in trying it

[Marshal Mittens]

Seems interesting, how easily it works will be the determinate factor, if it only works even 80% of the time will folks be willing to mess up 20% of their almost finished models? From what I understand it's not easy to use well. 

[Xenith]

Interesting and a great help for flat surfaces. 

[phandaal]

Seems useful for checks and stripes. The make or break will be how easy it is to use. Signed up anyway because free goblins!

[Mithrilforge]

Oh My...Checker patterns on Ork's/ Orc's .... If i got only one plate it'd be that one  and that alone would be worth the effort... 

 

@Grotsmasha - thanks for sharing 

 

 

Cheers, Mithril

[lhg033]

I've actually signed up....
Looking a the plates they are showing there as a good number of images on there I would use.

 

It'd be even better for me if they had DA icons but I expect there would be copyright issues around that
 

[Chaplain Raeven]

Interesting. Saw some iconography I could use, not to mention the checkers look especially juicy. Signed up as well.
