While it was frequently delayed (not unlike Gandalf in the books now that I think about it), I was able to wrap up the diorama this week. With creative works, I think you can be too close to what you make and start to lose perspective on it. With this one, I probably have been … Continue reading MESBG – The Bounder’s Duty Diorama
I’m happy to report that this past week was much better. I got some forward momentum on the diorama and have a few things to show off. First up, I finally got to put my green stuff and tools to work and patched up this little guy. Can you see any rough spots or where … Continue reading MESBG – A Shirriff joins the fray
Its a special double-stuffed update this week as I’ve had two weeks of painting saved up. It was kind of hard to pick a title since I worked on two different projects. Let’s start with Hellboy though and say our farewell to the frogs. I finished the last four frogs in the box. I tried … Continue reading Hellboy – The Frogs’ Last Croak
I wanted to start off by sharing the “final” photos of my Hobbit diorama and a few thoughts on making my first diorama too. I say “final” because one day I’m sure I will upgrade my camera because the one I have is approaching being ten years old and it does struggle a bit with … Continue reading The Master’s Favorite Holiday – Tax Day Diorama
Well to say that it has been an interesting week in the United States would be an understatement. I went to bed Tuesday night reluctantly and with a lot of concern and have been feeling better and better about election news as time has gone on. Hopefully the chaos, bad behavior, and poor leadership in … Continue reading The Master of Laketown and Diorama are nearly done
I have mostly been working on a single miniature this week and while I’ve made some good progress, it wouldn’t really make for an interesting update so I thought I’d tackle a topic that I don’t talk about or show off very much on my site. I’ve had the idea of exploring this for a … Continue reading Learning From Hobby Failures
Wait! Come back! I promise this won’t be as boring as it sounds! Its true I somehow ended up working on two different projects for two different games that both involve inanimate objects. While I’m hardly one of the old masters painting a still life, I think I do have some decent work to show … Continue reading More Thoughts on Painting Inanimate Objects
Actually the whole week in terms of hobbying has been challenging this time around which is part of the reason I’m posting an article a bit later than usual. Let’s take a closer look at what has been going on. One of the big things I’ve been working on this week is this rug for … Continue reading Painting Rugs – Harder Than You’d Think
I’ve got a little bit of everything to discuss in today’s update so I’ll break things up by subject matter to make it easy to see what you’re going to be reading about. Let’s not waste any further time and get into it! MESBG – As the title suggests, I am working on my first … Continue reading Starting my first MESBG diorama
Games Workshop spoiled us with some new models and returning favorites earlier in the week and since I’m still working my way through some terrain, I thought why not share the details with you all. There are a few brand-new models coming some that tie into Rohan At War and some that do not. The … Continue reading New and Returning Minis for Rohan At War
