A rainy Saturday afternoon

As the wife and kid argued over monopoly, I took the time to finish off the final piece of Deadzone scenery that hadn’t been painted. Took longer than I thought. Black undercoat spray. Shadow grey striped over that, followed by 2 more sets of progressively lighter greys. Then a metallic sheen added followed by inks, washes and blood stains. Thank goodness it matched the rest of my scenery. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ll post it in action if I get the rest of the gameboard out tonight.

Friday Night Painting

Sigh. Friday nights just aren’t what they used to be. I spent my evening painting while Agents of Shield was on for the family to watch.

I did manage to paint the base colours on the final remaining piece of scenery I have for Deadzone – I’ll try and finish it on Saturday. I did finish off the Chovar Psychic mercenary figure. I wanted to get it matte varnished but I daren’t risk it with this level of humidty. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

First blog entry

After getting over a nasty 2 and half days of D&V, I decided to learn how to blog.

Hopefully, this blog will contain some of the figures I’ve been painting – and maybe a few shots of work in progress figures. At the moment, I’ve had a few hours in the evenings and a week off work to paint up some of Mantic’s Deadzone figures.

I’m not an expert painter – far from it. With a 60-70 hours a week job, a wife and a young lad, painting time is few and far between. I therefore aim to paint stuff fast and with really simple paint schemes.

I’m not sure how pics from Photobucket will show up here, so I’ll give it a try. I’m also learning how this WordPress thing works so menu’s and entries may change rapidly.
