From Zero to Hobby Hero
Follow my journey as I dive head-first into miniature painting, 3D printing, prop making, drawing, kitbashing, 3d design and whatever else I can get my nerdy little hands on! Muahaha!
Of course, I have no prior experience, just a ton of passion.
Ultimately, I’m hoping we can learn together!
My Journey So Far…
So hey, I’m Eric, and welcome to my new project, The Maverex Workshop!
For years, I’ve been a huge fan of geek culture, but I’ve always been on the sidelines, watching other people create amazing things.
For that reason, this website will be my real-time “Captain’s Log” to change that. Lol.
In other words, I’m starting from absolute scratch, sharing every success, every failure, and every lesson learned along the way.
What I Explore Here
Miniature Painting From unboxing my first paint kit to eventually learning advanced techniques, I’ll share my step-by-step process for every model I paint.
3D Printing:
My adventure into the world of resin and filament printing, where I’ll be learning how to create custom figures, terrain for my games, and props from my favorite movies.
Honest Reviews:
Instead of fluff, you’ll just get my real-world, hands-on experience with the tools and gear I’m using on this journey, all from a complete beginner’s perspective.
Diorama & Terrain Crafting:
Every hero needs a world to inhabit. Therefore, I’ll be exploring the art of building immersive scenes, detailed dioramas, and epic battlefields for my miniatures using both DIY techniques and cool kits.
Prop Making & Cosplay:
Furthermore, I’ll be learning to build the iconic props, helmets, and armor from my favorite movies and video games. It will be a deep dive into the materials and techniques needed to bring fantasy gear into the real world.
Collectible Showcasing:
Of course, this is also a space for celebrating the art of the collectible. Here we’ll showcase amazing toys, highly detailed action figures, and custom LEGO creations (MOCs).
Kitbashing & Customizing:
In addition, we’ll be taking models and figures to the next level. I’ll be learning the art of kitbashing—combining parts from different kits to create truly unique, personalized characters and vehicles.
Drawing & Sketching:
Finally, we’ll cover the foundation of all creation. Follow along as I practice the fundamentals of sketching and inking, learning to draw my favorite characters from comics and manga as I develop the skills to design my own projects.
