Sometimes you just lose momentum on a painting job and the figure just sits there 95% done for a week, a month or longer.

Well, I do have a few more Tyranids to paint, but this completes all of the Horde Papiyon.

I've been asked a couple of times how I did the carapaces of my Tyranids, so guess it is time for a tutorial.

How you do it is a follows:-
Firstly, found a rather nice figure that painted up nicely as Bloodrayne

a couple of Death Cult girls to complement her
[G2:22750][G2:22748]
a nice doggy

Just a random collection of Tips and Tricks and other things I've found in my few years of modeling and miniature painting.
I retook some of the last set of photos I uploaded, since I wasn't happy with how they looked.
Since I've painted a few more figures since then, some new stuff uploaded as well.
Been a while since I painted anything, then just the other night I saw something in a movie that inspired me to paint a zombie.
My basic routine is:-
Paint your vehicle and admire your handywork for a few minutes, since you are about to muck up that nice paint job you spent so long on.
....which is just as well since I have a bit of a backlog to photograph.
Firstly, as a teaser, some Vikings

many more to follow soon!
