Showcase: Lord of the Rings Troll
This plastic troll was quite fun to paint because of the different textures. You have rusted metals, faded old rags, black leather straps and troll skin. The major downside with this model is the pose. As a plastic kit the pose is limited because the…
Showcase: Frodo wearing the Ring
I’ve spent hours working on this model, it’s an accurate representation of Frodo wearing the ring. The likeness is uncanny! OK OK, just so you don’t feel hard done by with the lame excuse of a blog entry, read on to see a cool LOTR scene…
Showcase: Lord of the Rings Mounted Aragorn
I couldn’t help but notice the complete lack of LotR models on the blog, so I’ve dug out pics of the Aragorn I painted last August for a friend. The slightly smaller scale was interesting to paint. I quite enjoyed it and my friend loved…
Showcase: Dreadfleet The Shadewraith
I’m quite pleased with the way this turned out. It was painted pretty quick using washes and dry brushing, something I don’t do all that often, but I really like the glowing bright colour. Two ships left to paint.
Showcase: Crimson Fists Chaplain
Hey-hey, we’re back to commissions and this means Space Marines. 😀 It’s the first new addition to the previous Crimson Fists army! It’s a Chaplain obviously, and a reassuringly metal one too. Very nice to put together and paint, the base is custom-made and…
Showcase: Grey Knight test scheme
For whatever reason I shy away from painting the newest release. I’ve got this whole ‘they don’t make them like they used to’ snobbery thing going on. Age my wife reckons. Grumpy old man. However when someone commissions you to paint the new powerful armies…
Showcase: Epic Imperial Guard
Heyho, as promised it’s Imperial Guard today! This force is a little lighter on troops but has some more fun stuff and variation in it. Let’s see what we got here: … There are three stands of infantry (with a Lascannon each even) plus a…
Showcase: Epic Ultramarines
Hi people, today it’s Ultramarines! Three Land Raiders, four Rhinos and eight combat squads of Marines. Nothing special, all from the Space Marine box as well. One thing I forgot to mention before is that these models are meant to be played with and I…
Showcase: Epic Eldar
Here’s the next Epic-scaled force already! This time it’s good old Eldar. Four stands of Guardians, one of them along with a Warlock leader, a stand of Wraithguard and four Grav Tanks. These models are a mix of Space Marine starter box (the Guardians on…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Grimnir’s Thunder
I thought I would capitalise on the enjoyment of painting the Black Kraken and paint another Dreadfleet ship. I painted the Black Kraken’s arch nemesis, Grimnir’s Thunder. On this model, the majority of the hull is metal. This made painting the model a little time-consuming….
