Deal or no Deal?

And Aaaiiiiaaiiiee will always love Yoouuu!

What can I say, I've never seen 'The Bodyguard' but I can still make jokes...Well I said my Bokur was almost finished yesterday and now he's done. The face isn't particulary captured well in the atrocious pics but it is the part I'm most proud of, particularly the expression.A really ...

Burning out all the negativity on the blog for the last few days I'm back on track after a few days off over the weekend. Saw Transformers 2 over the weekend ... now wondering if a Camaro fits the Searforge Theme...Gunners came out fairly well ...

Chiptastic

Hi All,I managed to finish the Blaster last night in a rush but I've avoided taking photos without daylight so you'll probably have to wait a bit for that. In place of finished pix I have a blurry (accursed old camera) little tut on how I did the chips and rust on... we'll call him ...

Magnetic Searforge Adventures

Not as much progress as I'd hoped last night, chipping and a bit of the additional weathering is done but I'm not sure I'm a fan of doing the chipping first, it seems a bit patchy. The patchyness could be put down to the larger open spaces of the Light Chassis though.You'll notice I've only ...

We will, we will … Quack you?

Well, I said I'd take a break from painting Dwarves, but that doesn't seem to have happened.Playing Simon's second and third games of Hordes at CG on sunday and getting smashed both games made me want to crawl back to my Dwarves. Maybe I could claim I coached him through the first win, maybe. But ...

Stop! Hammertime!

Finally Gorten is done after a bit of a push this morning and taking some liberties with the chipping technique (which I still need to work out, not totally happy with it).I painted all the rivets ove Black and then touched Boltgun Metal onto the tops of th rivets to pick them out and cut ...

Turtle and the Hare

While I'm seeming to have more painting time I'm finding out just how rusty I've gotten lately, I haven't made nearly as much progress on Gorten as I should have.I went with Tamiya Grey Primer this time instead of Black as Yellow would be much harder to get to 'pop' over a black primer and ...
