Painting.. is still moving along fine.

No pictures currently as I'm packing away my house, painting, and doing yard work, so my photo area has been taken down.

Updates very soon.

Epidemius Mod Painting part 4.2.. (WIP)

I put the pieces back onto mr nasty earlier. (Mr nasty almost fell 5 feet, which would've made him explode instead it was 1/2 a foot into my hand) But I wanted to show the progress on painting I made yesterday. More washes and some coloring on the different parts. I will be working on more of the details soon to bring the interesting parts out. So far I'm happy with it.

klutz....

I dropped mr nasty. he's ok, just a few things came off. I can fix it no problem!

GreenStuff Fav Tool...

So far, I'm enjoying working with green stuff, as you can likely see from my earlier post. I normally use about three things working with green stuff (so far) a color shaper, a shot glass with water (yeah not licking stuff sorry it will make me sick at some point), and my curved modeling tool. Of all I like my color shaper the best, because I can actually smooth things out... Now I've been working with mostly organic looking objects, so the tools may/will change a bit depending on what I am working with.



Then again most people likely already know about even better tools. These are what I've been shown so far and these work well for me.

Epidemius Mod Begin Painting part 4.1.. (WIP)

Since I totally covered the base in green stuff I needed a way to hold onto the mini. cork wouldn't work, but I do, do a lot of crafty stuff. I realized my 1oz white cosmetics jars would work perfectly (I hoped). So far the fig hasn't fallen off so I think we're good. (I buy the jars by the hundreds so I have loads)

Lots of washes, browns, reds, greens (of differenting shades), and a bit of yellow. It needs more work but it's coming along ok so far. Still learning and growing to understand how the paints work over figures.






I've decided his name is mr nasty, because by the time I'm done with him he will be completely nasty looking.

Forgeworld..

My order finally (ok I just ordered it/them) showed up on my card so I'm guessing it'll be about 20ish days from now till I see my order.

Yes, I'm a bit over the top on somethings. Yes, I've only been working with 40k stuff for a month. I need something else other then Millinery and Perfumery sometimes.

Yes, I will take my time with the items I ordered.

Epidemius Mod continued part 4.. (WIP)

Alright, primer has been added. I'm currently testing some painting styles on it to see what I like. Lots of washes and waiting.. I'm also working on some of my normal troops. I use a grey base primer because it seems to have the best coverage and doesn't fill in any of the detail.
