Showcase Saturday

Just a teeny tiny update this week. Life is starting to push out my painting time again.

I got my test Iron Warrior finished for the Chaos side of the Dark Vengeance box set. Things  learned from this:

• Gold is not my friend (I need to learn how to properly paint this)
• Invest in an airbrush
• I can paint jewels very well
• I need to work on my layers/blending (for the demonic parts)

In addition I'd like to thank you for sticking with me and keeping me focused. This has allowed me to finish 2 projects so far this year. That’s 2 more than last year!

As a gift to you all I'm thinking about adding another type of post. It’ll be called “Tutorial Tuesdays” (or Thursdays). This is going to consist of me posting links to tutorials I find for various aspects of the hobby and my results from using them. I may also post my own tutorials if I stumble across anything new when I'm modelling/painting. This means it’s not going to be a weekly thing. Just if I come across one I try I’ll let you guys know.

It’s a way to share advice and give people a second opinion before they try it themselves.

What do you think?

THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!

Showcase Saturday (Well Sunday...)

I have just finished the Inquisitor and retinue. This should have been done yesterday but I took a trip to see my mum and get some materials to test a method of making hazard stripes.

I think it worked well. I'll try and get some base shots. Probably should have done that before I stuck the minis to them.

Showcase Saturday!

Well the time has come for the first Showcase Saturday. And here it is.

Kal Jerico

Scabbs

Th infamous bounty hunters Kal Jerico and Scabbs

And the aforementioned pair running away!

Well the inquisitor's retinue isn't even nearly finished so you're getting a previous project. Seen above is my most recent completed project Kal Jerico and his sidekick partner Scabbs.

I was compelled to paint this pair after reading The Complete Kal Jericho, primarily to gain some inspiration for a necromunda gang but it also turned out to be a thoroughly good read. The gang is still in the pipework but I just had to have a go at the two protagonists. I have an idea to include Yolanda eventually, but that's another future project.

I hope you enjoy and sorry about the shoddy photography. I plan to get myself a basic mini photography studio later on this year (in the best DIY hobby sense obviously!).

Till next time, remember..
