This evening I did a high speed gold decoration session.
I will start on some more Erroish tomorrow.
Finished the Gang
Managed Some Painting
Well I made a start on a pair of the Erroish in Geek Club yesterday and managed to get them finished this evening. I also worked on the Spire big guy, and the other three for that matter
The big guy still needs the decoration done on his armour. I have decided to go for Gold as I feel this befits a super rich, nasty bully.
These are my pack beetles…
The saddles also had some failures, you can see an obvious one on the end of the front strap… Well actually it is a decorative border. But hey, either way it will get the Greenstuff remedy.
Hopefully I will feel up to a bit more of the same tomorrow.
A Bit More Work
So this evening I worked on my Spyre Hunters.
The dude on the left as you may have noticed is not futuristic hunter. He is a rat piper for my mate. He does have a tartan kilt, but to be honest I chose colours that were too dark so you cannot really see it.
I also added the big dude onto the newly printed base. I have also gone a bit daft and printed a couple of Desert gangers and some alien fauna. Well I didn’t just want to print a base on its own.
A Bit of Painting
Well I actually managed to get a tiny bit of painting done this evening.
I went for the unbased one to begin with. He is going to have either red or yellow on the chest and knees.
The other two miniatures are for my youngest. These two were the ones that failed yesterday. I did a plate re level and it worked fine second time around.
Out of the Painting Doldrums?
Well I seem to be in a bit of painting hole at the minute. I really cannot be bothered to paint anything. This tiredness/pain thing is annoying in the extreme, so it makes motivation a bit hard.
However I found a set of miniatures that I am interested in actually painting. I remember having the full Spyre gang for Necromunda. I decided to try these from Print Miniatures.
For these I actually unboxed the new printer.
Because I am a pillock I stuck three of the miniatures onto the wrong bases, it really only affects the one on the extreme left. She is leaping at an extreme angle. If you notice there is one of them on cardboard. This is because his base failed on the printer. Hopefully this is simple teething problem… however I tried a new print for my youngest and it failed.
Barkhoven – The Great Composer
Even though I am spending far too much time playing Fallout 76; I still managed to paint this pair this evening.
The collar was done with thr same light blue and it does make Barkhoven look like he has blue ears.
I cannot remember what the other one us, one of the civilian range from Alternative Armies, but as to the race… not a clue.
Ghost Bride
Yes eventually I got my finger out and picked up a paint brush and got the ghost bride up to the basing stage.
I think the ideas in my head transferred to the miniature. In fact I think it is an improvement on my own original one. For one thing I was a bit more adventurous in adding other colours.The red eyes are not evil in my mind… just the poor lass has been stood up at the alter and cried a great deal.
Funny I went green with my original and blue with the latest one.
I Achieved Painting
Not the most grammatically accurate title ever, but flipping heck I got some paint on a miniature…
A down and dirty 25 minute (if that) paint job. Geek Club started again today and as our cupboard was a total mess I tidied that before starting my painting. Will it win any prizes, nope, but a finished miniature is a finished miniature.
Adding Snow
You would imagine that after a week of the white stuff then I might have got a bit sick of it… out in the wild – yes! In the kitchen on miniature bases… not so much, but as I really dislike doing bases then … I might have to sit on the fence
So I forgot to take the photo at 15.00 today to compare the snow… this was taken up my track though!
Start of the Pumpkin Patch
Or two in this case!
Yes I know Halloween was a good while ago, but I needed a nice simple project this evening!
In hindsight I wish I had done the pumpkins over three bases instead of two… but I didn’t! Once the basing gunk dries then I will see how effectively it has stuck to the base and stuck the pumpkins into it. Again I probably should have glued these to the base and then gunked around them.
Ahhh well, time will tell!
I will be adding patches of grass in places with some tufts and some maple leaves… sadly I don’t have any pumpkin leaves 🙂
Hopefully I will carry on tomorrow and let you know how I get on.
