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.


Some Lictors

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

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.


Oh boy!


57 newly uploaded photos! That is a record for me.


....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!
