<br />
As was mentioned, the issue of cost is rather important at the moment. What with saving for a wedding, most of the income I would have been able to spend is being saved. Why I mention this is, how can I develop projects at low cost.<br />

<br />As we can see, a grotesque paintjob. Can't really remember why this went so tits-up but I'm looking at the base colour and wondering... Why?...<br />
This was a £29 model (IIRC?) when I bought it, and it is a definite want in any krieg army I might (or might not do :p) so recovery job...<br />

Around 24-32 hrs later I remove the Hades and scrub with a toothbrush. For anyone using this as a guide, two words of warning.<br />
<ul>
<li>Dettol stinks.</li>
<li>Keep the tub and item in a sink with something up the wall behind, as you will be flicking a mixture of semi-dissolved paint and dettol in a radius of around a metre around you.</li>
<li>Do not allow water to get into the mixture whilst you are scrubbing. Scrub item, rinse in the dettol tub then remove to a towel to drip dry before washing in hot soapy water.</li>
<li>The item will be quite sticky, I can't work out what it is, but its a grease-like emulsion of paint and dry dettol which is not suitable to work on at all. </li>
<li>To remove this, the item will require a good wash in white spirit before you can think about painting. I washed in white spirit then again in hot soapy water before drying and readying for priming.</li>
<li>It still stinks of dettol.</li>
</ul>

So yeah, relatively pleased with the result. I do hope undercoating will go smoothly.<br />

How will we paint this model?<br />
<br />
This arrived last week...<br />

So really, this post is outlining some of the limitations at the moment, i.e. space and money and how I'm working back into the hobby as it were. With luck the next post will be a painting update.<br />

And finally... Thought I'd show this, two 38oz rump steaks I cooked for a Man V Food competition at work. <br />

Feel all warm and tingly inside.<br />
<br />
So the model... As stated I've not painted for a long long time, I never liked updating with an unfinished model but I suppose showing it will give you an idea of the general standard at moment.<br />

Ignore the start of the brass bits.<br />
<br />
In general I'm happy with the clothing - the leg areas particularly. The armour is ok, but looks a bit clumsy in the middle of the breastplate.<br />
I think generally my issue is going to be about the steadiness of my hands, something which should improve with time and getting the hang of that.<br />
<br />
When I came back to looking through the paints I own, I'd forgotten that I was and am using 4 different ranges (P3, VMC, GW old and GW new) that's before the Pigments etc...<br />
<br />
So... yeah. Shall soldier on. schoolcormoranthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13354944831437065840noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024620127273657562.post-19675923157943231082015-05-18T20:01:00.000+01:002015-05-18T20:01:23.539+01:00Back from the dead. Srsly.Well last update was March 2013, 26 months between updates must be a record even for me.<br />
<br />
In the last two years some major changes occurred in my life, such that myself and my partner moved to Yorkshire, a place I've grown a major liking for in the short time of being here.<br />
I changed career paths from something that whilst I enjoyed it to begin with, I grew very tired of and left university to persue other avenues (that sounds better than some of the shit that went on at the time I must admit). I now find myself in a job that I really enjoy despite at times being tiring, hard work, stressful occassionally thankless... Brings new challenges every day.<br />
<br />
Due to all this, modelling time (and money) became a rare commodity, and whilst I still have a much lessened time in which to do it I am now in a better position to kickstart back into the hobby.<br />
<br />
When I left the 'hobby' 2 years ago I was exploring getting into higher end painting and modelling with an ultimate dream of getting to a point to enter a golden demon or similar. In restarting I fear my skills might be depleted, so rather than go out and spend hundreds on expensive models (FW horus heresy characters which I must do at some point...) I bought a new kit from GW I've not used before, the Scions. Must say, cracked it open today, lovely kit, cool detailing and impressive extras. I have, today, built the first model I've built in nearly 2years with a view to starting to paint in the week.<br />
<br />
Ideally I will paint this model up, see what went wrong and how to improve it; this way getting into the swing of things a bit.<br />

Bear in mind I have no photo set up yet so pics aren't the best.<br />
<br />
Part of the spur for this post is that, this morning, I have just booked my hotel for the Forge World Open Day on 5th July. I hope to have some bearing on where I want to go with modelling by then.<br />
<br />
So yeah. Hopefully be able to keep this up for a while.<br />

<br />
Well I've painted Bilbo Baggins, badly. Let me explain, a couple of months ago I purchased this;<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://miniaturemiscellany.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/eavy-metal-masterclass-700x700.jpg?w=614" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://miniaturemiscellany.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/eavy-metal-masterclass-700x700.jpg?w=614" width="252" /></a></div>
<br />
Reading through it yesterday I decided to apply all the techniques mentioned in the book to painting Thorin's Company from the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey box set. With the intention being that through the learning curve of 14 miniatures I could eventually finish with a better standard of painting in general.<br />
This will not impact on my army projects (DA + DKoK) as they use techniques otherwise.<br />
<br />
So in terms of the model, several things jump out at me and thus will be rectified for the next model. These include the fact that the model is overall very dark. I attribute this to the fact I applied several layers of milk-thin paint rather than say a 25-50% paint/water ratio paint I usually use. I have clearly not applied enough of the layers so that whilst the finish is smooth, the colour is not homogenous enough and is impacted by the underlying black paint.<br />
<br />
Brush technique; it is clear that whilst using very thin paint I am required to paint small areas repeatedly, for various reasons including an Essential Tremor I have been unable to reapply each layer with enough consistency that it has ended up looking patchy or unshapely.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqJ2K74BS1hA9ypPCySaQ18RsT8h24uMaHimVdY0c3oyOaIQr6bOMoNlhpCBv3B7v2t-O-_qX-pvuieFHLYWfkxM3p3f8ljXeWyqoKTEVEMsZmkT3_RXMdS6I0vT4S-11SBKFEUEBDow8Y/s1600/IMG_7773.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqJ2K74BS1hA9ypPCySaQ18RsT8h24uMaHimVdY0c3oyOaIQr6bOMoNlhpCBv3B7v2t-O-_qX-pvuieFHLYWfkxM3p3f8ljXeWyqoKTEVEMsZmkT3_RXMdS6I0vT4S-11SBKFEUEBDow8Y/s320/IMG_7773.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
One of my new year's resolutions was to be slightly less harsh on my own painting, and in that vain I will say I'm quite pleased with the red on the coat. I think with another highlight layer or two I'd be pleasantly surprised.<br />
<br />
So, what's next then;<br />
<br />
Well I have a set of 5 Space Marine Scouts to paint, which I intend to start this afternoon after lunch. These include a converted Telion and one of my favourite GW models ever made, which is a metal scout sniper reloading his weapon. I will make some lunch and listen to World at One and hopefully see you all again in the next day or two.<br />
<br />

PS: I was reminded of this very very old video, of Leonard Nimoy singing a song about Bilbo Baggins...<br />

Edition Review & New Games Workshop Paint Range ReviewEvening all,<br />
<br />
I was initially going to post these reviews alongside the update with the painted Hobbit Terrain. However I've had an eventful two weeks - in the first instance I got engaged to my girlfriend of 3 1/2yrs and in the second, I've picked up some nasty flu virus which has made the past three days utterly delightful and in the third, I got bitten by a dog (neither of our dogs I hasten to add). Both the latter events occurred mere hours after the engagement and I'm hoping it's not going to be the 'way of married life'...<br />
<br />
So, apologies are due once again. I've got the terrain about 75% painted so hopefully you'll see them finished tomorrow or Wednesday.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Now, bear in mind the following addenda, as
to why I feel this is good value for money. The first is that Thorin’s Company,
is as yet unavailable outside this box set. Second, Radagast exclusive model is
interesting, and given the way the first film is I’m inclined to guess that
Radagast will feature in one or both of the following films in some way. Third,
whilst another (perhaps better) Goblin King is available, this one is not, it’s
also plastic not Finecast....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">What I’m saying is, this box set is unique
in more than one way and I like that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">To the models, these are, without exception
fantastic. Thorin’s Company do not suffer for being, for the most part, one
piece models. The faces are discernibly the characters on screen in the film
and the goblins are suitably rag-tag.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The terrain is great and is even suited to
being a platform for painted models as well as a playable surface. It is
incredibly detailed and lots of fun to paint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Another thing I quite like about the kit is
that it is, despite being a depiction from the film, it is also a depiction
from the book, not one of the Jackson additions. Consider that they could have
made the set based on perhaps the assault on Moria flashback or the fighting
wargs from the trees from the film.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Whilst I am aware that the Hobbit franchise
along with the GW Lord of the Rings franchise was sometimes looked down upon by
40k players and fantasy players I must say I’m extremely pleased with the kit.
And it brings nostalgia for the original LotR boxed sets way back when.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Now, as someone who adored the film release
of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I can see nothing I would change about
the kit. As an avid Tolkien fan-boy with a more-than working knowledge of the
‘Tolkien-verse’ there are things I’d change. But that would be an extremely
unfair way of assessing the kit and so I will not bring that up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-US">Review: The new Games Workshop Paint
Range<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Now, I shy away from change...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So, the new range is much larger than the
old one. I say that in the knowledge that GW removed a lot of their colours
running up to the changeover. But I do miss the familiar favourites of Space
Wolves Grey and Dark Angels Green. That said, I like the new range. The new
base colours have higher colour density (therefore the paint itself is
thicker). This is fine as I thin my colours, it took me a few minutes to work
out how much I’d thin the paint prior to use. And when I had thinned the paint
I still got a good coverage on the model.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The paints are labeled ‘layer’. On the
Games Workshop site they’re labeled ‘Layer 1’ ‘Layer 2’. They have the same
thickness and colour density, but are labeled to show which is the next tone
after the first. That’s fine but for an experienced painter this is
unnecessary. For a beginner I think this would make the learning process far
easier, for that I applaud Games Workshop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I will not comment on the texture paints as
I feel they’re unnecessary, saying that, I have bought one to try out and
perhaps, just perhaps, it would make the younger less experienced hobbyist
avoid paying money for GW sand, GW glue and a paint.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The shades are not much different to the
older GW shades, they are fine for most, but I tend to avoid them as they come
out overly matt and look funny on the model.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The glazes suffer, though not as severely, from the same problem. I much
prefer adding a glaze medium (which GW have now produced) to a paint to do my
glazes and shading. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Generally, the main issues with the range
are the new names which is a new learning curve and the somewhat juggling
effect of having to deal with different thicknesses of paint on the trot. Once
the names are recognised it should be much easier. I would also like to add
that among all the Games Workshop hate for prices (which I do not take part in,
as models are a luxury product, not necessary to living) the paints have
generally, not been to badly priced. When I joined the hobby back in 2001 (the
outset of the Lord of the Rings models) the paints costed £1.50. They now cost
£2.30. That’s about 6.6p a year, which I feel is a very reasonable growth in
price. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So the intention with the new range is
clearly to make painting easier and more accessible to younger or inexperienced
people. Which is a laudable aim. For us more experienced painters we just need
to tinker with our processes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I do realize from my two reviews I may seem
a GW ‘fanboy’. That’s not completely true, I would like to point out, I am
willing and able to descry something I dislike. I do still feel rather discriminatory
of Finecast products.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p>We will get back to more painted models in the next few days, as soon as I can shake off this plague.</o:p></span></div>

As you can see, an excellent conversion and an equally good paintjob. However, two things are problematic with it. The first being that this model was of course converted and built to fit in someone elses army, not mine, same with the paintjob. The second issue being, due to the first problem, the tank isn't armed for my army.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Brief interlude: I was informed a little while back that I can't use my superheavy vehicles in my force until I have reached 2500pts in the force with non-superheavies etc. Yes, I know very little of the 'game'*.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thus, I have made a few additions to the vehicle in order to fit it into my army, but I did want to stick to the way the vehicle was in some ways, such as the fact that I love how much of the shape of the vehicle is defined by the stowage and camo-netting.</div>

However, yesterday, as my partner was off work we took the new dog to the vets then stopped in the pub on the way home, unfortunately for me, alcohol and a swollen bank account are a bad mix. Suffice to say my 'swollen' bank account has been lanced, like a boil on the arse.<br />

Now quite frankly, I am kicking myself, for two reasons, the first being that I ordered from GW direct, and not another store - I'd have saved about £34 if I had. Secondly, that I spent rather a lot.<br />
<br />
Seeing as the Radagast model comes with Sebastien the Hedgehog, a tiny addition to the overall thing, I clearly in my drunken stupor justified the spend to myself with 'he comes with a hedgehog'. So, yes, I'm clearly an utter nob.<br />
<br />
I would like to add that I'm pleased to have gotten the words 'swollen', 'nob', 'lanced' and 'hedgehog' into this post. I have as such put labels accordingly, someone with a rather niche fetish will get a boring google search result at some point in the future.<br />
<br />
Yours Nobbly<br />

I would like to add that I did have them 'out of reach' on a table, which he had clearly knocked over and chewed them like little treats.<br />
<br />
So, whilst I mourn the loss, I think I may have to start a new unit whilst I think of something else.<br />
<br />
I think he knew he'd done something wrong. Or, you know, didn't care, I do hope my dog isn't a Nihilist.<br />

In the first instance, university term started again today, and in the second, well, we have a new addition to the family...<br />

I have however been working on things as best I can. I currently have a Deathwing squad on my desk, half painted, and I purchased the new DW command squad on Saturday... Well, I say I purchased it, my mother did, whilst on a trip to York.<br />
<br />
I have also placed a GW order for;<br />
<br />
Scouts with Sniper Rifles<br />
- I also have an old metal scout with sniper rifle, that I've had for years, I kept it, it's been in nitromors more times than I bear count but it's simply one of the best models GW have produced, so you'll see a squad of six before long.<br />
Rhino<br />
DA Codex<br />
Telion - he's in finecast, lovely model, I'll carve off and replace the the Omega symbology and make him into an aged DA scout.<br />
<br />
I should have a fairly strong army before long, my aim is to have them close to completion by April for a few games with my friends.<br />
<br />
So again, I must apologise but hope you'll keep watching my blog.<br />

<br />
Well it's the end of 2012, a year which saw me finally pull my finger out and get on with painting the Krieg. So much so as I have started the DA project. And here's to 2013 being ever more paint filled and with luck, game filled.<br />
<br />
So, I'm off out for New Years, to celebrate an arbitrary date and time and consider it celestial demarkation. Hope you all have a lovely and safe New Year and come back tomorrow for an Angelic update...<br />

Well, it's been a while since my last update. So where have I been, what excuse for my laxity in posting?<br />
<br />
They say a picture tells a thousand words. This is of course bollocks, but I can't be arsed writing much so here comes a few pics.<br />
<br />

Well, exciting week, for me, less so for you lot. And, as it is now the 23rd of December, and the Feast of Saturnalia, Mithras and some other fella called Jesus is upon us in less than 48hrs, I am afraid no more updates until eating has ceased and drinking has become difficult.<br />
<br />
For more pictures of the 'games' head over to <a href="http://recalcitrantdaze.blogspot.co.uk/">Recalcitrant Daze</a> as it appears Rictus was a lot more attentive at photographing the actual game than me...<br />

I must admit I'm dissapointed with the casting quality on these models, some of the areas such as faces/masks and things have come out quite badly after painting which I'm annoyed about but nevermind.<br />

This is what I've been working on,<br />
<br />
Krieg Trojan and Earthshaker. Unfortunately I've run out of White Spirit, so am unable to totally finish them until I have bought some. But, I've done most of the detailing that I can, there will be another round of detailing after the oil painting stage then I shall update again with myriad pictures for you.<br />
