So we’re in the middle of the longest sustained heatwave in about a century here in Ireland. As a result I haven’t managed to do much in the way of hobby as I’ve been busy enjoying the sunshine with the family. Damn you real life! But I have managed to do a little. For Father’s … More Heatwave
Finally finished the River Dragon and pleased with the results. I’ve never painted a model with such a limited colour palette before and didn’t know if it would work. Initially I had planned on painting the sphere the dragon sits on in brass or gold to break the blues up but I’m glad I didn’t. … More And done
Continuing progress on the River Dragon. I haven’t been able to dedicate as much time as I would like to this, however, I am still pleased with the results. The lighter blues around the face, underbelly and legs will need to be highlighted again before I do final details. The water on the base is … More 50 Shades of Blue
Slow going so far on the River Dragon, mainly due to limited painting time. I’ve focused on testing how I wanted the fins/tentacles. I’ve layered these up from P3 Exile Blue to Menite White Highlight. I’ve also layered on Exile Blue to the main body. Happy so far with how it’s looking, but I need … More Further progress
I backed this on Kickstarter last year and received the pack (ahead of schedule) this year. CMON have done a number of board games over recent years and have established a solid reputation for miniature quality. Generally speaking there’s usually one or two models that will grab my attention and get me into a particular … More Rising Sun River Dragon
Recently I tidied my desk and promised myself I would clear everything on it before starting anything new (and there is a lot on it). During the week I finished my Iron Ancestor, see my previous post for more on that. Today I took the Reb TK-Zero gunner and my Marine Centurion and gave the … More Clearing the painting queue
Deadzone, Mantic Games futuristic skirmish game, is something I’ve played a lot of over the past almost two years since backing it on Kickstarter in early 2013. I’ve all six of the current factions and have been slowly working through the models. My favourites are the Orc Marauders and the Forge Fathers. I recently tidied … More Deadzone progress
So real life, as it has a way of doing, interfered with my hobby time over the last few weeks. All I’ve managed to do is tidy my painting desk and organise my painting queue. Like a lot of hobbyists I know, I suffer from distraction bias when it comes to painting. I’ll start a … More A quiet week
Work continues on the Knights Errant. Today I’ve mostly been focused on finishing off the heraldry colours and the leather saddles and tack. Happy with how they’re coming together I’ve cheated slightly using an off white bone instead of pure white in most of the heraldry for the army as I can’t paint white … More Today’s Painting Progress
I’ve been getting some paint on my Bretonnians, riding the wave of Age of Sigmar inspiration and I had forgotten how much fun they are to paint. I really enjoy the challenge of painting all different types of heraldry but also keeping the colour palette tied together so that the army has a cohesive look … More Some Work In Progress
