On occasion I will host group paint nights. We all setup around the table and sling or spray paint until the wee hours of the morning. It is an opportunity for my buddies to use the airbrush or get help with things like color choices…

I won a Deathknell Watch kit in a charity raffle at a recent tournament and started that up. I wanted to try the brown stone look that the studio used on the packaging. Pretty pleased with it so far. Fingers crossed I don’t mess it…
