Greetings Dudes! Another week of work-work-work and hobbying has gone by. I've made some great, albeit slow, progress. It feels good to see some of it finally coming together and looking just as good as I imagined it. All of the images I've used below are already spread through out the site but thought I'd capture some contsxt in this post. Working with Rust Effects As you can see from the Post image I had GREAT SUCCESS with the Dirty Down rust paint. However, it did take

"Everyone needs a friend like me!" I ordered a cordless "dremel" a couple of weeks ago and it finally showed up! After taking it out of the box it is screams quality product... I think it was around 140 Euros on Amazon. I can think of a hundred terrain and vehicle related projects where this is going to be crucial... >>>>>>>>>>END VOX TRANSMISSION<<<<<<<<<<

Nectar of the Gods... Greetings all! As the site comes together I fully intend on giving an update every Sunday no matter how difficult the week was. The CONEX box is just about done. Not super happy with the results but I was experimenting with oils during the process. It will be good to get it off of the bench. After a quick trip to one of the only places open on Sundays, I was able to stock up on White Monsters. Should get me through the day's hobbying. I'm starting to th

"I will show you fear in a handful of dust." I saw this texture paint and thought I'd give it a go to experiment with a new basing theme. I'm going to glob it onto a 32mm base and let it cure. I'm not entirely sure if I should add sand/rocks before or after. I may have to try both. Afterwards, I envision 3x shades of brown/tan and then affix a dead grass patch or two. Sounds easy enough... A few hours later and the texture paint dried to the perfect con

"You see boys, everybody thinks they want freedom, but what they really want is order..." I fully intended on painting the GW CONEX container this morning but Amazon happens... A little bit of wood glue and bam... done. Most people probably use it strictly for paint brushes but I found that tools will fit in there just as well. Ok... back to it! >>>>>>>>>>END VOX TRANSMISSION<<<<<<<<<<

I was missing a few paints essential to painting some rust effects so I took another trip to the local GW. I often wonder why GW keeps their store fronts so small. I have been to a dozen of them around the world and they are always the size of a closet. I wonder if it is the overhead cost... or masybe it is an effort to say you don't need a lot of space for this hobby. Either way, it gets claustrophic rather quickly when you add 10 human beings. Otherwise, while I was there I

One day recently, I woke up and decided it was time to get back into Painting & Wargaming. Taking stock of my paints... it has been a few years and the paint-Gods were not kind. Luckily, I've got a GW store with in walking distance so I replinished the ranks. On a seperate note, I picked up the complete Villainy line... >>>>>>>>>>END VOX TRANSMISSION<<<<<<<<<<
