Hi guys,
Excited to join! ;D
I've been lurking around the "Making Stuff Together" forum for a few months now. I'm just another geek who loves his boards and technology in general. I work in the IT industry and recently made a transition from a development role to a solutions architect role. I also am developing a few frameworks for a startup that I am a co-founder of. Needless to say I spend quite a bit of time with my boards. Probably more than I should, but what can I say, I'll take any excuse.
My daily driver alternates between an HHKB and a Filco Maj2 TKL though since getting my HHKB the Filco doesn't honestly see a whole lot of use, but it was my first real board and has earned a special place in my heart.
At night I enjoy some of my other hobbies. I started playing table top fantasy games some years ago, and got into modeling and casting my own miniatures. Though I haven't actively played tabletop games in several years, I still enjoy the painting and modeling. The last month or so I have started playing around with designing some of my own caps. Thus I thought I would join the boards to become a more active participant in the community and start a hobby thread or something of the like.
Anyhow, glad to be here, hope I can keep learning a lot and maybe even share a few tips or tricks I've picked up along the way.
Happy hacking!

Welcome to GH CapC!
My HHKB has a tendency of making me neglect my other boards too
That's really cool you cast your own miniatures - you should take a look at the Making Stuff Together thread and see how people have put their casting knowledge towards keyboards!

Welcome! My first board was a Filco TKL too haha, definitely getting less use as I start to build my collection.
Really wanting to try Topre though. I have clears, blues, and browns, and the curious side of me just needs to know. I guess the same goes for buckling spring :P
Can't wait to see how your experiences translate into sculpting keycaps, be sure to keep us posted!

Welcome to Geekhack!
A very good solid couple of keyboards you have started with :)
How can one not use keyboards enough? I wish I had more time to play with my keyboards.
After a quick look, I don't think we have a miniatures thread, but this one, What do you collect? (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47388.0), is probably as good as, so feel free to post pictures of your models there :)
Unless someone can find a more appropriate thread ...
There's also a rather dated thread about MechWarrior/Battletech Thread! (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49047.0), if your miniatures are in that universe.
