Colourful Heads

Sooo I eventually got round to getting my paint toppers painted with the AP Speedpaints. They are definitely a lot different to contrast. They seem a lot thicker and although great colours aren’t really doing the highlight and shade the way Contrast does. This is not a criticism, I just need to work out how they work. I reckon there will be some thinning down with medium in my future….

When she came through my wife asked me why I was painting bottoms… I was looking at the front, she was looking at the back…

I now see what she means…

She thought they were grotesques mooning…

Out of interest the pure white one back left is the bottle of medium.

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.

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.

A Mobile Shrine

So my mate took his birthday present home with him in the car so I reckon we can class it as a mobile Shrine.

So instead of a pristine shrine, I wanted to go for one that is more run down, hence the faded colours on the building. I also got to work with my home made tufts…

All in all I am quite pleased with how this came out. Next stage trying to repeat it in a scale suitable for 6mm, as well as 15mm too. One day I may even do it in 28mm!

A Small Shrine

It was my mates birthday a couple of weeks ago and as I am seeing him tomorrow I thought I had better getbmy finger out and make him something,

I made him a small Japanese shrine for his 15mm Sengoku Monster Hunter games.

Basically he can put in either the ancient tree trunk or the building. I will add some tufts etc tomorrow.

These pieces come from the newish shrine set.

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!
