Raggy Paints

Annnd this is where the train jumps the tracks. The plan was all well and good and then it was hit by my own desire to paint… but kind of in a good way. One thing that I\’ve found really accelerates my painting is when my head clicks on how I intend to paint something.…

It had been such a strong start – getting the Ur Ghul\’s painted and a solid start on the Spindle Drones. I quickly followed up by finishing the Spindle drones: The spindle drones were much more of a challenge than the Ur Ghuls in a strange way. As with the Ur Ghuls I had decided…

I started with my now standard approach to preparing for using Contrast paints. I primed the models black (Stynylrez Black Primer) and then used the GW rattle cans to lay down a zenithal of the state approved primer for Contrast Paints (Wraithbone in this case for a warmer tone). I have really had no interest…

Working on these Ur Ghul was an interesting experience for me. I don\’t have a particularly large array of GW paints (Contrast excepted). And as such, although I regularly watch Duncan and Peachy\’s painting tutorials – I seldom follow them particularly closely. While watching the Spindle Drones video they put out – I realized I…

You can find the start of this project here. This is a really interesting one for me. There are obviously a lot of very different models in this box and in a sense – two opposing factions. So how will we \’unify\’ the whole box into a look? How valuable is the \’Test Model\’ when there…

You can find the start of this project here. My Hobby area is pretty much always kept clean and ready. I am a bit of a tidy freak and since I set aside a portion of my main work desk for my painting equipment, I\’ve been able to become much more productive (and a painting streamer…

You can find the start of this project here. At this point I am ready to start laying down a plan. Between the Aims and Expectations stages of the project a LOT changed. I started picking up the models and cleaning them up already. I also substantially changed my intended basing plan in light of a…

You can find the start of this project here. In the process of developing this planning stage. I got the opportunity to take a few months break from my job and put more time into my painting. This is amazing news as I have some competitions coming up that I want to work on entries…

A friend on Instagram was asking about the desk set up that I have for my painting. This is something I have put a lot of thought into but, tried to limit how much I spend on it. My desk set up is for my painting but also doubles as my home office space which…

A brief note here for future reference. Having had an accident at the weekend were a bunch of models (unpainted) got knocked into a puddle of spilled candle wax. The result was a bunch of miniatures seemingly ruined. What to do?– DO NOT do this for PVC miniatures (eg most boardgame minis) Get the miniatures…
