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 Meks Give You Wings!
Howdy folks! I’ve been putzing all week on the wings of the bommer but nothing worth posting. Would be pretty boring seeing one tiny thing each day… “Put hoses on today” “Put the engine brackets on today” “Put panels down but no rivets yet…” So I figured I’d save them up to show you something…

Bride and Imperial Guard Testing
Progress! Did some work on the Bride and IG trooper tonight. You can’t see it from the photo but I airbrushed a coating of Bleached Bone over the entire gown, then do a white zenithal highlight from the top to let the Bleached Bone be my shadowing. It’s very subtle so nearly impossible to see…

Detailed Masking for Airbrushing
I’m considering this a lesson learned and don’t mind passing this along 🙂 When I started painting the large aquilla on the top deck I was originally going to mask it out and airbrush it in layers. After looking at it for a few minutes I decided to use a brush instead thinking how difficult…

Skyshield Landing Pad – Airbrushed!
Spent some time with the Skyshield landing pad today – that and my airbrush! Finally! I primed both the Skyshield and the bastion black blocked out the main color areas with the air brush. The top side of the landing pad was airbrushed with two colors – Tamiya Nato Black XF-69 and the lighter Neutral…

Waaagh!Fest Tournament Board
Well, it’s not the USS Enterprise 😉 but I’ll be tracking my progress here for a little competition I’m having for our little Waaagh!Fest pub tournament in June. At the end of last years tourny, a number of us were hanging around with a beer discussing next years event. We came up with the idea…
Got any book recommendations?
