Yellows - Round Two!
I’m not ready to give up yet on yellows - grrrr. After picking up a couple of new paints I tried out another idea that many use. Going from Iyanden Darksun base to layering...
Tutorial Inbound!
Yellow – the bane of nearly every mini painters existence. I wanted a few panels in yellow as it a great accent color for all the reds and whites across this model. So I started...
So this whale is back on the bench :)
Now it's down to the details; pick one, knock it out and move on to the next one. Pretty soon I should be done.
The metallics took for ever and it's not a...
Boom!
We'll see how long this lasts ;)
A long time ago in a house about 5 miles away, I started a green project, but of a different kind. It's a Bride of Frankenstein and The Monster kit that...
So I'm back in the saddle for a time, we'll see how long it goes ;)
I've actually been working on and off on this monster for about three weeks and the only thing I've accomplished has been the...

Now I've got some extra detail painted on to help break up the wide expanse of red. There's going to be quite a bit of metallics when I'm done and I don't want it to be tooo busy to the...
Thanks all! :)
So, I've been chipping away (hehe) at the paint job on the blasta bommer. I was almost finished with the initial outlining of the metallics when I realized I hadn't added any larger...
Beer. (or more in ork parlance, Squig Brew!)
That's why I run my 40K tournaments in bars ;)
Thanks all for the kind words on the plushie squigs! They were a big hit and competition was fierce.
Got some precious time on the bench lately and didn't want to dig into the monotony of the...
Hmmm. Hadn't thought of the Kickstarter approach. :) We did price these out to see if they would be worth producing for sale but we were looking at nearly $120 a piece to make them worthwhile. We'd...
Busy. So very busy!
Life is a cruel mistress, especially where hobbies are concerned. Between work, school, teaching and preppign for Waaagh!Fest!, I don't get much free time, but with what little...
Ahem.
I'm back (for now ;) )

Painted checks on the engine cowlings the other night. Now that schools over, I can devote a little...

These are awesome. That is all.
All right boyz, we got this thing figured out now!
Not that Games workshop has made it any easier on us tournament organizers by releasing stuff every two weeks (slow down!) but we've settled on a...
The date's been set for our yearly WH40K Pub throwdown, the Granite City Waaagh!Fest. June 28th in Waite Park (St. Cloud) Minnesota.
Here's the details:
Location: Moose Lodge 1400, Waite Parke,...
Thanks all.
Just proving I'm not sittin' on my haunches this break...
Blocking out the metals by going over them with Badab black first - always base your metals with black, there's a very good...
Wrapped up the pilots for each of my three dakkajets last night, presented here:

And he doesn't look too bad nestled in the cockpit....
Not that I don't have other things I can paint - wait, I do! Three dakkajets I started ages ago are sitting there waiting to be finished. I've reached a point where I'm individually detail painting...
Thanks Sotun, it's great to BE back :)
Paint. Paint. Paint!
Sadly, only enough for the little grotty gunners :)
Finished up the grot big shoota gunner turrets and realized I've run out of...
I've already glued the front windshield into place as I can reach the interior of it to add the glass after painting. Here's the other assembled pieces.

Sometimes you get stuck, you come to a roadblock that you can't blow through with ease, something that stymies you for a good long time. That was the canopy for the blasta bommer for me. I've had...
Very nicely done for a rescue from the bottom of a junk bitz box! True enough to form, most non-old schoolers wouldn't know the difference :)
The nice paint job helps a long way as well, great job.
Wow, almost 8 months since I touched this thing. Sad really, I miss it a lot. That's what getting a second job and going back to school will do for ya ;)
With the break in school over the holidays...
