I have officially hit the middle section of painting Drazhar which is the worst/hardest part. When you get to this point, you have a decent sense of what the miniature looks like and while you want to speed ahead and try to finish the miniature, you can’t because you need to stay patient and keep … Continue reading Slow but steady progress and an improvement in my Fallout games
As you would expect, I have some more progress on Drazhar to show off this week. I took a quick look at last week’s update to see how much progress I’ve made and while I initially thought I hadn’t done that much, I think I can proud of the progress I’ve made. Here’s a look … Continue reading Painting Draz is no drag
I got my 40k miniature going this week and happily have some progress to show off. As the title suggests, Drazhar is a Dark Eldar or Drukhari (insert GW copyright joke here) and they are a faction I’ve always wanted to paint. Lelith Hesperax was the Dark Eldar model that I was most interested but … Continue reading Starting on Drazhar the Dark Eldar
I bet that title got your attention! It has been a wild two weeks and enough has happened to nearly cause hobby whiplash so what I will try to do is explain what’s been going on in a concise manner and then share the usual hobby progress afterwards. First, I tried to paint the first … Continue reading Paint some bloody Warhammer
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
Rust is tricky to paint and I struggled to learn how to do it early in my painting career. It wasn’t until recently that I finally started getting satisfactory results and I wanted to share how I did it with you. If you’re looking for a way to paint rust in a realistic and convincing … Continue reading How to Paint Realistic Rust for any Wargame
