  • Runtherder and Battlewagon Krew

    Ok, quick update – I’m not dead, just really busy. Did manage in the last three weeks to wrap up the crew for the stock battlewagon and started the runtherder for the grot mob I did a while back. The runtherder is a really nice model with lots of detail and character, much like the…

  • LIttle Ork Stuff

    On to the details! Got to work this weekend finishing up the details for the stock GW battlewagon, mainly the crew and also the Runtherder from the box set I finished a while ago. Got the skin and straps done – shirts and pants are next. Later!

  • On to the next one…

    On to the next one….. Getting a little short attention span here and just feel like jumping around right now. I’m expanding my army to be able to field a full on dread bash and I need to add two squads of kans and another KFF Big Mek. The kans are the immediate need as…

  • Stock GW Battlewagon Update

    Thanks Doc! The grass is a bit green – it’s GW’s flock so tends to be a bit bright. I can live with it. Things have been a bit on the slow side for me in the hobby world as Real Life has gotten very, very busy as of late. I’ve got some very exciting…

  • Red Paint and Checks

    I’m back from vacation and work has slowly restarted on Red Jack’s Battlewagon. As I wrote in my blog yesterday, the battlewagon’s in it’s awkward stage where it’s paint job looks too clean and parts are unpainted and it may be tough to envision what the end product will look like. That’s alright, I know…

  • Ork Battlewagon Complete

    Well, 5 months, 114 uploaded photos, at least three pots each of Scab Red, Red Gore, Blood Red, Boltgun Metal and 5 pots of Chaos Black later, I’m calling it finished. After looking at the boyz last joyride I noticed the hydraulic arms on the roller looked a little weedy so I wrapped them in…

  • Deff Rolla Rocks!

    Deff rolla rocks. I’ve actually taken photos during each step of the finishing of the roller. The plates started off with with a primer black base. For the first two layers I used a wet version of dry brushing. The brush was wet and paint had been thinned down as normal, only I brushed the…

  • Deff Rolla Fix and a Reward

    Ok, remember that deff rolla that went south on me a couple months back? Well, I finally forced myself to fix it. I had to as it’s nearly the only thing left to finish! As you can see above, on top of supergluing the plates in place, I’ve screwed them down as well. Inelegant as…

  • Weathering the Battlewagon

    Spent some quality time with the wagon tonight and finally got some dirt on it. I finished up some of the smaller details and little things I’ve been agonizing over (hate it when I do that – they’re jut little things…). I made up a pot of magic wash with black and did an entire…

  • Painting Progress on Battlewagon

    Made some progress this weekend on Red Jack’s sweet new ride. Did some detail painting, adding some graffiti stuff and started painting the Kill Kannon. I’m at an impasse though. I don’t know what I should paint the main barrel. Black? Red? Steel? The reason I’m waffling is I will be writing something along the…
