Midge Induced Painting

This evening I was sitting in the conservatory messing on the computer. I had actually set an alarm for 21.00 but the midges had somehow got in there with me… they were a bloody nightmare so I evacuated.

I decided to do something constructive. And painting seemed constructive enough.

So I worked on the Xpress painted knight and various other miniatures I had handy to avoid wasting paint.

This is where I got to with him…

I may have gone a bit overboard with the mud along the bottom of the horse trapping. I will need to do something with the stag on the helmet as it is looking very flat.

I also need to grubby up the bottom of his tabard too.

I will get the base done tomorrow which should make it look better overall.

I shall also try something on the Speedpaint knight tomorrow.

I also have to print another one to do a Contrast knight.

Painting Again…

Zoggin Heck another day with paint on a brush….I must be Ill or something !

This chappy is done in Speedpaints 2.0. On this one I tried the metallic Speedpaint. It went on so nicely and sort of dried flat. However I put a wash over the metallic bits on the first knight and have actually ended up with a similar effect. I was going to dry brush them with silver anyway so no problem there.

So let’s see if I can manage three days in a row… (probably won’t pick up a brush for a month).

To be honest, I reckon the only reason I did anything today was because of Geek Club in school.

More Painting

Bloody Hell. I have actually managed to do some painting this evening….

I really, really, really cannot be bothered to paint at the minute so this took a lot of effort. A lot of it was belts and bridles so it took a good old bit of concentration. I really need to get back into this and stop making any excuse I can think of to avoid it.

I think that Duc de Renoir will look okay once he is finished.

I had better get back into researching heraldry as I have a feeling that there may be a fair bit in the future.

Of course I will have to do me…

I have me in 10mm and 15mm… really got to do the 28mm version sometime. Interestingly the maroon and black used above are almost an identical colour match to my soft kit.

So hopefully I will get my arse into gear and keep painting…

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.
