The Illusion of ‘Free Shipping’

February 5, 2021 February 5, 2021

Nobody likes paying shipping. Not you, not that guy over there, not me. No one. Paying shipping sucks. That’s why a lot of places these days offer ‘free shipping’. Except they don’t… let me explain. THE COST OF SHIPPING It’s very easy to overlook, especially as a customer, just how …

If Games Workshop designed my logo... Cobbled tog If Games Workshop designed my logo... Cobbled together from bitz from an Ork Boyz box and the official 'logo' for @peculiartifacts_minis - if you've been enjoying my #miniaturepainting you should follow over there so this feed is just the #cosplay stuff.
Well it's taken a little while, but I released my Well it's taken a little while, but I released my new #warhammer40k chainswords yesterday after finally getting the #spacemarine version. It joins the #imperialguard and #chaos variants and the project is done... except now I want to make an orky one too. You can grab them from my #etsyshop And they're 10% off until Monday. #warhammercommunity #40k #chainsword #combatsafe #replica #weapons #cosplay #larp #prop #evafoamprop #foamcraft #foamsmith #blackfriday #evafoam

Three posts in one week?! What's going on?! Here i Three posts in one week?! What's going on?! Here is the #dyinglight #machete I hinted at the other day. It's a really fun build, painting's a bit weird though, carefully mottle the blade, then flick a load of red paint over it, then daub a load of white paint over that and then airbrush it neon green. Very much a 'trust the process' job this one. These are definitely going in my #etsyshop #combatsafe #replica #weapons #cosplay #larp #evafoamprop #evafoam #foamcraft #foamsmith #dyinglight #dyinglight2 #gaming #peculiartifacts
It's always nice to see an improvement... each tim It's always nice to see an improvement... each time I make one of these runes I try to do something new with them. This time I used pigment powders (or y'know, ground up pastels) for some weathering. I keep the old rune handy as a map as to where the smaller glyphs need to go. #combatsafe #replica #weapons #props #cosplay #larp #dishonored #dishonored2 #videogames #gaming #gamingart #peculiartifacts
It's nearly there... the third updated #40k #chain It's nearly there... the third updated #40k #chainsword pattern is well on its way. Question is, what chapter will it be? #greyknights are a strong contender, obviously #bloodangels are in the running, definitely not #imperialfists - I love the yellow but someone needs to invent a yellow paint that isn't garbage - nor will it be #ultramarines Just out of shot is a #dyinglight #machete being primed... I don't think I've been more excited to paint a prop... stay tuned for that! Also I'm still not dead, just still crap at social media 🤣 #combatsafe #replica #weapons #cosplay #larp #evafoam #foamcraft #foamsmith #commisionsopen #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #peculiartifacts
Could this be the last #40k #chainsword to leave t Could this be the last #40k #chainsword to leave the workshop? Quite possibly... but only temporarily. Once I have the updated #astartes pattern built I'll be retiring this old design to make room for three new ones in #imperialguard #chaos and #spacemarine flavours... maybe I'll do an #ork one too... hmmm #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #cosplay #larp #replica #prop #propmaking #evafoamprop #evafoam #foamsmith #foamcraft #peculiartifacts
Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Maj Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty. Many, many years ago I was lucky enough to have the immeasurable honour and privilege of a brief audience with Her Majesty The Queen and His Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. I may not always know what day it is or how old I am, but I will never forget that particular day. God rest her soul. Long live the King.
"'Tis a foolish man, as makes work for 'imself" - "'Tis a foolish man, as makes work for 'imself" - someone, probably. It's taken a whole morning to path the #chaos #chainsword onto a clean plate ready for my #etsyshop - not sure why I decided to do the 'collectible' loot card look but I love how they turned out. Photoshop doesn't love it though, it's not happy about crunching through an .psd that's pushing close to 2gb - might be time to make a new master. #warhammer40k #imperialguard #cadianshocktroops #slaanesh #40k #warhammercommunity #cosplay #larp #combatsafe #replica #prop #props #peculiartifacts

Death to the false emperor of mankind! I am stup Death to the false emperor of mankind! I am stupidly excited to reveal my new #warhammer40k #chaos #chainsword - admittedly I wasn't thinking pink when I sat down to design it but @powdermonkeygaming said #emperorschildren and here we are. Time to revisit the original #astartes pattern next and drag that into the 41st millenium. #combatsafe #replica #weapon #40k #chaosmarines #chaosmarine #evafoam #foamcraft #foamsmithing #cosplay #larp #propmaking #props #peculiartifacts
Been a busy old day in the #peculiartifacts #works Been a busy old day in the #peculiartifacts #workshop today. Two new #40k #chainsword patterns drawn up, one #spacemarine and the other, #chaos - Specifically #emperorschildren And all because the #imperialguard one in #cadian colours turned out so ffffffffflippin' good. I'll hopefully get to editing the pictures for that and the Dwarven Problem Solver tomorrow. #foamsmithing #foamcraft #evafoam #cosplay #larp #cosplayersofinstagram #replica #propmaking #prop #warhammer #warhammer40k #commissionsopen

There's still a little bit to do but that'll keep for tomorrow... I need some fresh air. #mortalkombat #mk11 #foamcraft #foamsmithing #cosplay #larp #commission @vail_subzero #peculiartifacts
The #cadian #chainsword is coming along nicely! Fi The #cadian #chainsword is coming along nicely! Finished the base coats and some highlights today, weathering tomorrow. On one hand I'll be sad to see it go, on the other hand I'll be on with the #spacemarine, specifically #bloodangels, and #chaos versions, so I won't miss it too much. #warhammer40k #warhammer #astramilitarum #imperialguard #cosplay #larp #replica #prop #foamcraft #foamsmithing #evafoam #peculiartifacts
The brown paper and cereal boxes have turned into The brown paper and cereal boxes have turned into this #astramilitarum #chainsword from the #warhammer40k universe. I'd been planning on redesigning my old chainsword pattern for a while now. This is the #imperialguard version, specifically #cadian, but I have #spacemarine and #chaos variants coming soon. Naturally they'll all be #combatsafe for you hardcore #40k #larpers out there. This one will be shipped out to a customer once it's done, and the next one will be living with my new friends at @powdermonkeygaming - you should check them out, fabulous little hobby store just down the road from me, lovely folks. #replica #prop #weapon #foamcraft #foamsmithing #cosplaying #cosplay #larp #evafoam #peculiartifacts
What's this?! Brown paper and cereal boxes on the What's this?! Brown paper and cereal boxes on the bench? That can only mean two things, the first being that I'm not dead (just crap at social media!), the second that I'm working on something new... #cosplay #larp #comingsoon #warhammer40k #astramilitarum #replica #propmaking #prop #evafoam #foamcraft #foamsmithing #peculiartifacts
"I found this near the Hound Pits, I know you coll "I found this near the Hound Pits, I know you collect these things." I don't think I will ever get bored of building these. Each one is better than the one before, each time I figure out a new way to make them better. Damned shame this rune will be in the post next week. It'd look nice on my wall. #dishonored #Outsider #rune #videogames #gaming #gamingcommunity #gamingart #cosplayers #cosplaying #cosplayphoto #cosplayersofinstagram #replica #prop #foamcraft #foamsmithing #evafoam #peculiartifacts
Finally, after much procrastination, 'The Harlot' Finally, after much procrastination, 'The Harlot' is available in my #etsyshop - she's #taintedlilith from #thebindingofisaacrepentance and she's a one off.
