  • 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…

  • 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,…

  • Grot Gunners and Dakkajet Weathering

    Paint. Paint. Paint! Sadly, only enough for the little grotty gunners 🙂 Finished up the grot big shoota gunner turrets and realized I’ve run out of Evil Sunz Red so the main painting of the bomma will have to wait until I have a chance to get to the hobby shop (hopefully tomorrow). Not that…

  • Tail section completed

    Put some time in on the bommer this week. Spent three hours doing rivets on the tail before doing the final attachment. With this in place, it’s time to finish the tail section, blend in the tail wing and start finishing off the detailing. This marks the finish of the base shaping. I’ll need to…

  • Progress on Blasta Bommer

    Small spurts of progress, doesn’t look like much but wrapping plastic around a fuselage with compound curves is tough! I’ve got more of the transition between body and tail. It needs multiple layers of pcard to get it where I need it so I can put a proppa plating on it for skinning. It’s still…

  • Big Old Mixed Bag Today

    Sheeze, three days back on the bench and it shows me what for… Did something today I haven’t done in nearly 20 years – drove an exacto deep into my finger. One of those stupid things where two seconds before it happens you’re thinking… “YA know, if that slips it’s gonna go deep and hurt…

  • 10K Ork Army – Red Jack’s Waaagh!

    OK, as with every Thanksgiving weekend, I took a full army shot as well as assessed my army in total, painted and unpainted. Here’s the entire painted portion of my army… This is roughly 6,800 points – without pushing wargear and of course not including possible formations. Here’s everything I have that’s assembled/field-able (meaning not…

  • Got some work done last night…

    All right, got some work done last night. No, I didn’t do any work, I got some done last night… I’ve been threatening to get this done for about two years and finally pulled the trigger. Turned out better than I could have hoped for. Here’s a scale pick so you know where it went.…

  • Small Ork Apocalypse Army

    Quick shot of the 5K I’m bringing to the Apoc battle this weekend. Astute orks might notice two skullhammers when my recent list only calls for one. I couldn’t help posting this with both since they were both painted. So technically, this would be 5.4K not 5K even. I’ll only be using one this weekend.…
