I have painted a lot of space marines over the years. Judging from the contents of the boxes in my room, I will be painting many more! What have I learnt painting these and what would I change if I did it again?
It has been a long held hope that one day, I would build a Squat army.
Some time ago I was talking to someone in a shop who was planning to take up figure painting. I mentioned Black Inking as a useful technique and he admitted he didn’t know what it was. Looking at some photos of figures a friend of mine did it was obvious he had not Black Inked them. Seems there are quite a few model painters out there that do not Black Ink their models. This is rather a shame since Black Inking is a very effective but simple technique to add to your repertory.
This is something I've been wanting to make for myself for a long time, and a couple of weeks ago, I had a flash of inspiration :)
Irregular Magazine 3 / Winter '10 has just been released on the newly resdesigned Irregular Magazine website! :)
In the last week, egged on my friends on [url=http://wamp-forum.com/]WaMP[/url] and [url=http://twitter.com/KeeperOfTheHDB]Twitter[/url] I have photographically documented the fabled Lead Hoard of Keeper! :) It is rather pic-heavy, so I'll just post up the links to the two parts of the write-up on my website.
Irregular Magazine Issue 2 has just been released at: http://irregularmagazine.com/
Doing a little surfing and came across this site
http://www.ironhands.com/minwh.htm
which has some rather nice conversions of Necromunda Redemptionists into Witch Hunter Zealots.
I subscribe to the [url=http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mini-painter]Mini-Painter Yahoo Group[/url], and a painting newbie asked about how people set up their work area for painting.
So, I figured I'd contribute.
Here's the latest version of my painting table, pardon the mess!!
