DW - wip

Aloha,

I have been working a lot and i also took one day of last week to work on my own stuff just to get t he motivation back. It´s easy to lose it when you never get any thing done, so what i do is that i take a easy model that i can do in one day and i paint it up just to boost my self.

but now i have been working on the terminators, all the arms have magnets so you can swap them as you like. need to get some more sholder pads so that i can make more bubel of some weapons but will take that later for now i need to get them done.

there are two guys missing here and that is t he cyclone and the banner, im still trying to magentas them in a good way, but it is not easy to get them on there so i will se what i can do.

but if i keep up my speed now they will be done soon, and im going for a more darker grung look, the insperation is coming from ThirdEyeNuke but i will try and do them a bit more in my own way. I love the stille that he has and it works well in the 40k universe.

This is all for now there are a lot more things coming soon. A better and longer Bio about my self so that you will get to know me better. A review on the spray booth that i have,my skorne army a lot more models have paint now and also a tutorial on how i just my oil paint.

this and some more things to come soon. 

thx for taking the time to look at my blogg and feel free to drop me a comment.

DW and Carnage - Wip

Aloha,

The DW army is not coming along in the speed that i was planing for work and other things got in the way so i lost my flow all together so now im going back to the old way of doing it. I am building all the models so that i can make a big batch painting of them all, i will go over to the normal terminators for now i feel that the KN are a bit to head atm for me. it more that i don´t have the motivation to paint them so i will go back to them later so that they will look good when im done.

I just have some arms left now to megnetais and then i will start to prime them all in black and get to work. time to  get the speed back up so that i can hand in this commission i feel it sort of stopt for me but not any more!!!!

I also got a big ass carnage kit that im to build and paint up, this the first time that i work on a kit like this and also the scale for that mater. I was told that it was big but i did not think that the guy be this big !!! he is massive so i don´t know how long it will take me to get him done. just building him is a task of it own. I have to cut and shave of a lot to get him to fit and i will need to GS him to i think there are a lot of gaps. But it is fun to do something out side the box.

now i need to drink my coffe and then it is back to work, after this work i have to go to my other job haha :D i feel like the orc in war craft II work work.

Dw - Wip

Aloha,

You can se one image of him in my Bio post, but now it is time to get this guys done.

Id like to have them done asap just so that i will have more time ones i get my Mammoth it is going to be so cool !!! cant wait for that big guy yes i like to work on big things hehe.

but this is what i have so far, this weekend i plan on building the rest of the terminators just so that i can start to put the foundation on them all to speed up the work some more. and magnets do take some time to get them in to the right place.


enjoy ppl.

Bio - Painting for me

Aloha,

To day i im going to do a Bio post about my self and what this hobby/work has done to me and how it has change my life. I will start from the top some 3 years ago when i was still playing World of Warcraft a lot and was looking for something eals to do whit my time. When i was at a tatoot shop whit my older brother i found some books and catalogs for the new GW models that had come out this was back in 2010.

I had been pating when i was a ten just for fun never got around to get a army and i did not have any one to play whit so to have a army never came up for me, i was just happy to paint. But back to now as i was done there in the shop i sa all the new models and they where just awsome. when i got home i got on to the internet and i sa that the second hand maket was hugge so began to look around for some stuff.

the first thing that i got was some paint and the battel of malganec box but i was only in for the tyranids they have been my fav from the start i like marines and all but the tyranids they have a soft spot in my heart and they always will. yes i play zerg in SC II that is sort a given for me haha.

But my try to paint up a tyranid army was on, i found a colour schem that i like and i just went for it i never did get that army done just some models here and there. after a year or so i dropt the 40k a together cuz i lost all my games and i did not find it fun any more i think i got a thie like 3-4 times but more then that i lost all my games. and i had all the list you could ask for.

and then warmachine came along i had seen the game when i came out and i alwasy did like the stempunk mech still that it had, but a soon to be friend back then got me in to the game. i have been playing warmachine a bit more then one year now im still no good, but im not bad. I find that the game is a lot better then the GW games i have played 40k and Fantasy atm i think that fantasy is a bit better then 40k.

I also got in to commission after a year or so and in the start i was so bad it was not funny, i did not know how to plan my jobs, i did not know what to charge ppl for the work that i did. And i did all the wrongs that you can make in the start. It took me about half a year to get things under control and what to do and not to do.

im a lot better commission painter now days now that i have had my three paint burns and a depration it has been a long and bumpy trip for me, but i do not regret any of it. It has been so good to be part of this wonderful world.

when i look back now i can se that i have grown a lot as a painter, i know how to blend colours now not super good yet but i can do it. I know how to work whit the airbrush at a hige level now and im still lerning a lot of new things whit that tool.


and i hope that i will keep on painting for many years to come, and if i can get to the point where i can liv of my work that be awsome but i dont think that will happen for me. there are so many outer good ppl out there. im just glad that i can take part of it all in my own way.

Chaplin - Wip (soon done)

Howdy ppl,

Last knight i work´t on the chaplin a lot and he is soon done just the last peral at the top of the armour and then i need to give him some line highlights and he will be all done so to have him done on Monday looks like a ok goal atm.

I also got some more work in to my skorne lock and he is coming along just fine, i sat down to look at a movie around 20:30 but after 30min´s i just could not sit down i had to paint more so i got back up and put in some H in to the fat man. I got a lot of stuff done on him on that short period of time so i was happy. I think that i put the brush donw at around 00:00-00:30 not sure tbh.

and on monday i will start to work on the unit and if i can hold my time plan they will be done in a week or so, will have to se if i get more work under the week.

but that is a re-cap of what i did yesterday.

New stuff and Wip

Howdy ppl,

so this has been a fun week for me tho i have not gotten the amount of painting done that id like to but non the less im happy. Last week end a good buddy of my and his wife came by for some coffee and he brhothe his compressor that has been out in the garage for a long time just collecting dust, it´s a small 3L tank in it max 10Bar so it is perfect for the work that i do. And i also got a small present from him that was so random!! A dark elf dragon i don´t play them but the model it self is awesome so when the DW commission is done i will paint that bad boy up.

Yesterday i spent the day getting to know the new compressor, i have done some priming under the week but no paint jobs, so i took the time to try it out on some of my models don´t want to mess up some one else models. And i can get the control that i was looking for so that was a good thing for me. I also gave the oil wash Technic a go i still need to fine tune it a bit more but for the first time i was happy, i want to give the DW terminators the oil as it gives a lot more life then the acrylic was and i also like the fact that i can go back and edit if im not happy how it looks.

so all in all it was a good day for me, to day i will try and get the chaplin all done or at lest 80% done then i can do the rest on Monday.


That is all for now, post a comment if you want to know any thing.

and se you in the next post :D

peace muffin

Priming at 2,5 Bar doing it at 4-3 was not that good.

Here im trying out oil for the first time.

The work station is a mess, but the new spray booth is working just fine.

It cold out side and the fat man needs a blanky to keep warm :D
