  • On the Big Mek Drawing Board

    Took some time during lunch to sketch out and do a scale drawing of the bommer today. I’ve blocked out the basics – enough so I can confidently start transferring it to some full size graphed paper and making patterns for the interior ribbing. I went back through both of pox’s threads on this beasts…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Finished Apocalypse Models!

    OK, back in the saddle again… Finished up the Apoc models I was working on, wrapping up the paintjob on the second Pulsa Rokkit. Nice to have them finished. Too big to fit all of them on my workbench at the same time so took over the kitchen table for a group shot. Fun to…

  • Pulsa Rokkets!

    OK – got a bit of a break. The guy I was building the other skullhammer and pulsa rokkit for can’t make the Apoc game this weekend so I only need to finish one of them. I could try and take both but because of the way the points are structured, it doesn’t make any…

  • 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.…

  • Scrapification

    Started the armoring and scrapification of the first tank… Yes, a bit sloppy, but that’s what I’m going for. No one will mistake this for any other kind of unit on the table. Depending on schedule I’m hoping to be painting these things by next weekend. We’ll see. Later!

  • 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…
