Compendium of recent projects.

Here are my most recently finished minis. They are the most technically painted, and I think best looking models that I have completed to date, and took an appropriate amount of time. 

A recent burst of inspiration from Painting Buddha's tutorial on how to paint an Ultramarine spurred on a spree of glazing, highlighting and tinting. I present the first 5 characters in my first ever Morheim Warband of Marienburgers (picture intensive):

First Kings Of War Mini Finished

I've just finished this Griffon, and I'm quite proud of it. It shows my first (somewhat successful) attempt at non-metallic metal in the form of the silver armour and gold emblem.

The Griffon was mostly airbrushed and dry brushed. The lad took a lot more time. Was it worth it?

Project Basileans!

A little while ago I hinted at my next project, and included a picture of Mantic's logo. Well as it turns out I've gone whole hog on Kings of War, and from the title you might have guessed I've gone for an army of Basileans.

I'll admit though that I have had a bit of hobby ADD. While working on the mantic stuff I've been eyeing a few other game systems and ordered yet more models. The plight of a miniature wargamer. There simply isn't enough free time to enjoy all of the awesome stuff available.

But I digress. Here is the first step of project Basileans. 12 finished bases each complete with its own built in nerve counter disguised as tree trunks. I thought it was pretty clever.

Proof of Live

It hasn't been a very productive 30 days for blogging, but I have managed quite a bit of hobbying. In fact I've more or less finished my Renegades project for now. There are still the ogres to paint, and about 50 troopies to still build, but I think i'm going to put that on the back burner for now.

Back In Business

So my airbrush's 3 replacement nozzles have arrived in the mail. I even have an extra needle for when I inevitably bend that sucker.

Enter Cheat Code: God Mode

So that happened. Fuck yeah! Something I would usually tell people who are new to the hobby: Buy an air brush now, before you buy your next set of models. But you know what? I never listened to my own advice. UNTIL NOW.

A Labor Of Love Weekend

This past labor day weekend was a hobby-less one for me. Being three days long for the both of us, I promised the old lady at least some level of adventure. The photos that follow are of said adventure. I am by no means a pro with a camera, but I dare say that I'm quite proud of some of the shots I managed. 

Friday night we stayed in, and fired up the ol' charcoal grill. And by ol' I mean brand spanking new. I bought it at the beginning of the summer, and managed to ignore it until the very last weekend of sun! 

We hit up the local farmer's market, and got ourselves some venison sausage, Ontario grown potatoes, zucchini, peppers, and corn. Needless to say it was as delicious as pictured.
