A Bit of a Knight Mare

This evening I came up with a bit of a cunning plan to test out the XPRESS paint and Speedpaints. So as you may have seen in an earlier post I printed a knight. I now have two,..I am going to paint one in one range and another in the second range. This will give me a bit of an idea as to how they compare on larger miniatures…

So this is a start with the Xpress paint. The blue was thinned with four drops of the Vallejo Medium.

The second one will be a reverse of the above. I still have my original GW Brettonian water slide transfers.

I still have to work out how to do the quarters on the knight.

The tabard on the body is easy, these ones have the long bits covering the legs.

Teeny Tiny Camels and a Knight with a Small Head

Well after a smidge of painting the other day I decided go see how the 2mm camels I built would look printed out… to be honest I am rather chuffed, for no other reason than you can tell they are pack camels…

Highland Miniatures also released Gallia on their Patreon… I can see knights in my future:)…or maybe that should be 😦 ….I have so much to paint as it is… this mighty Knight had a bit ofca helmet failure and as such will need another doing…

I had really better get busy with my Goblins… these guys will need something to fight 🙂

Woah… I actually Did Something

As the title says, I actually got my arse into gear and managed to paint something… not a huge amount, but I did manage. It was really hard to get motivated. I mean I actually had to force myself to sit down… it was a definite case of Captain Procrastination this evening.

I have added a Greenstuff saddle to the bear to give the rider a bit of packing under his backside.

I also finished the ram rider, he is now ready for basing.

I got a couple of packages today, one was a paddle board and the other was my long awaited Vallejo Xpress paints… sadly I had a bit of an issue…

Luckily it was just one of the bottles of red.

This came today and I asked for Speedpaints 2.0 for my birthday on Friday so look out for a wave of painting taking place…well I hope there will be.

A bit of Painting

It was the last day of term today and the last Geek club for a while. I managed to get some painting done.,,

The one on the left is the latest one. I do like this range. which is why I went for another red panda.

Armoured Bear

Now to put things into context in gaming terms I am à wood elf player… dwarves… meh! But I have persevered and painted some for Mordheim. But to be honest I want a lot of these 🙂

Really like the bear heavy cavalry.

Dwarf Rangers

This evening I did a bit more on the pair of rangers and a smidge on the mounted dwarf too.

They are nearly finished…

I have come up with a new game… it’s called ‘Guess the model from it’s supports’. Here is your starter for ten

Dwarf Rangers

Tonight I got kicked off the computer so I decided to paint something. The dwarf rangers were handy so they got some paint slapped on them…

Still a fair way to go, but more colour than white now.

Back with the Nam

So, I haven’t been posting much lately. This is in part due to laziness and part due to playing too much Ark Survival Evolved.

I did get this lot photographed this evening… the boat crew were printed about 3 weeks ago and the engineers and sappers about two. The latter were taken off the supports this evening and then left in the sun to cure.

This evening I also shrank down and printed some Samurai stuff from 3D Alien print. hopefully you will see a painted example tomorrow.

Painting Windows

I actually got my butt into gear this evening and got some paint onto the Hog. To be honest there are so many things wrong with this miniature that it is going to become a test miniature… well unless I suddenly like it:)

I will carry on with this over the next while and see how it goes.

I am going to try and get hold of some decals to help with numbers etc.

I Found Some Green

Today I suddenly realised that I had a can of Army Painter green. Joe brought it back for me ages ago. But well done past me for asking for it.

The Hog looks a bit better now that it is green.

Well this whole thing got me thinking, the rotor sticks out a long way forward and we will not even talk about much it would stick out sideways. So in my rather foolish brain I wondered about electronically boring out magnet holes in the rotor and the fuselage.

This would mean in game all of the rotors wouldn’t be bow/stern. There could be some variations.

Over the next few days I will work on this and see what I can come up with painting wise. I am actually going to have to use normal paint! Eek!
