Top Ten Music Finds For 2017
This is the second make up post for two year stretch of no music listings. Again, not a lot of commentary but a lot of cool, interesting music (in my book). Butcher Babies – Monsters Ball I now have a playlist in Spotify called “Angry Bitches”, and these two are the reason why. Honestly, it’s…

Top Ten Music Finds For 2016
OK, I’ll be honest here… I let this list slide for the last two years as I’ve gotten out of the hobby for the most part. I still listen to music, I just don’t paint or built to it anymore. Though that hasn’t stopped me from making a list each year. That said, I won’t…

Round Five: Top 10 Music Finds for 2015
Time for my annual sifting of the new stuff I’m listening to – yay!!! Once again, I’m a bit surprised I found at least 10 songs/performers throughout the year that I think are share-worthy. This years list is one of extremes of the pendulum swing. From ambient, floaty, female vocals to anger-fueled heavy metal tirades,…

He’s Big, Mean, and Green! … and not an ork.
Boom! We’ll see how long this lasts 😉 A long time ago in a house about 5 miles away, I started a green project, but of a different kind. It’s a Bride of Frankenstein and The Monster kit that my wife wanted me to do up (she’s a huge Bride fan). Looking for something to…

More Blasta Bommer Work – Gunna Get It Dome Someday!
So I’m back in the saddle for a time, we’ll see how long it goes 😉 I’ve actually been working on and off on this monster for about three weeks and the only thing I’ve accomplished has been the metallic weathering. I know, not much to weathering, right? Egggad, I wish. For anyone who saw…

Round Four: Top 10 Music Finds for 2014
Each year I do this looking back thing regarding my musical exploration/revelations, I anticipate this list to really short. Maybe it’s the compression of time and how well my memory serves me at the end of a collective year, maybe I just don’t realize how much new stuff I really found — I’m not sure…

Round Three: Top Ten Music Finds for 2013
2013 was not quite what I expected it to be when I reviewed my audio lists compared to my memories. I spent (what I thought) much of it in study for classes and class prep for classes I was teaching. I can’t concentrate on things like this (memory stuff) with a lot of funky beats…

Why Should I Base Metallics? A Tutorial.
Why Base Metallics? That’s a good question! Some may not even know the technique exists but it’s a very easy thing to do to make your metallics “pop” better – and it’s based on science! The stuff in paint that makes the color is called pigment. The pigment is suspended in a variety of suspensions…

Slow Work on Ork Blasta Bomma
Just proving I’m not sittin’ on my haunches this break… Blocking out the metals by going over them with Badab black first – always base your metals with black, there’s a very good and scientific/optical reason why they look better that way. If you’re curious, let me know and I’ll do a tutorial! 😉 This…

Dakkajet Pilots and Blasta Bommer Paint
Wrapped up the pilots for each of my three dakkajets last night, presented here 🙂 And he doesn’t look too bad nestled in the cockpit. Just need to finish the widscreen and base it. In other news, the blasta bomma, “Moar Dakka!!!” is no longer black and appropriately fasta! And a “Barry” shot for scale,…
