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…
Chat: Garfy’s pictorial hobby timeline
Looking at the models I have painted so far this year, I can’t help but notice how much my approach to painting has changed. I paint a lot less nowadays but seem to enjoy it a lot more. I thought it might be nice to…
WIP: Rogue Trader Tyranid Warriors
It has been slow going on these old skool Tyranid Warriors, I’ve been working on them sporadically in-between Dreadfleet ships. I’ve painted a lot of Tyranids in the past (including these back in the early 90’s) but I must say, the detail on these models…
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.
WIP: Dreadfleet The Shadewraith
Real life has taken priority this week, so the hobby has taken a back seat. Today I wanted to pick up my brushes for a bit of escapism, so decided to work on the Shadewraith. I’m on a bit of a roll with the Dreadfleet…
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….
Showcase: Dreadfleet The Black Kraken
Painting the Flaming Scimitar sucked out all my enthusiasm for painting Dreadfleet models. The Black Kraken has restored my faith in the awesomeness of the models in this game. This was so much fun to paint, the model has something that none of the other…
Showcase: Grey Knight 1500pt Army Shot
You don’t get many models in a 1500pt pure Grey Knight force, but you do get some lovely big centre piece models. Despite the lack of models, I still wanted a mix of units to paint. Draigo armies of paladins look so boring! Variety is…
