What are you working on today?

[sorcerersapprentice]

Have added a load of new tile sizes to GTW so I am now making room tile overlays. These are 1 of 33 4 x 4" with the day side and night scene on reverse of a rooftop set I am working on.

Tile sizes: 4 x 4", 4 x 8", 2 x 8", 2 x 10", 5 x 5", 5 x 10", 8 x 8"

Made progress on my mini for the exchange. A few little bits left and it should be complete. Also trying my hand on a simple Black&White color scheme for a mini. Why is white so hard to get a smooth even coat with white? It's gonna take tons of thin coats to get even coverage. I just hope it turns out like I envision.

White color - rather spray paint than to invest hours.
My first models had been space marines in a black white color scheme. Big failure! You make a small failure with black, after you paint five or ten layers of white to correct the failure.

here's a trick, rather than doing loads of layers of white, that doesn't have a strong pigment, paint the white bits with either a light grey or flesh colour then paint the white over the top. The flesh colour will have a strong enough pigment to go over the black but light enough to let the white lay over it without any difficulty.

but it is way easier to paint the black over white rather than the other way around.

Thought of a white coat of spray paint.

Part of doing white over my grey primer is to push my ability to paint where I want and keep it tidy. I'm wanting the grey/black to be in the recessed areas. If it proves to be too frustrating I'll go with the white spray paint option instead.

If you could do a video for your kickstarter that'd help. I've notice nowadays if people can't be spoonfed the info TL;DR pops into their mind and they go elsewhere. Hope everything goes well for you.

Enjoying one of the golden oldies!

I sat down tonight, with my painting gear, took a mini I had prepped with a base and primer spray, and painted...
I painted and actually finished my X-mas exchange mini in one night! All I need to do is varnish it
And I love how it turned out!!! I hope it won't get lost in the mail...

Sounds great Sjeng. I've noticed some of your artwork recently and I am very impressed. I would be a very happy man to get a Christmas miniature from you!!!

I worked on my Skeletons today. I had about 20 that were not painted so I have primed, base coated and actually finished then other than the bases in one long session. I got my girlfriend interested and she gave me a hand. After the Skeletons we even started on a bunch of goblins

I am hoping she will be up for some more painting when she gets home from work...otherwise it'll just be me working out how I am going to paint these goblins.

oh and then its The Walking Dead on the download tonight
