Tonights progress



Nothing too major. The blend on the cloak is a bit to subtle on the camera but better in person. I may give it a glaze or two to darken the recesses. The armor will most likely be the next step as it has it's basecoat. I need to decide if I want to keep the edge of the collar black or possibly do it in a bone color?

Here is a sneak peak...


Of a project I am working on for a friend of mine :) Just finished up my first attempt at MNMM for the metallic areas... And if you notice there is a skull on top of the warjack that I scuplted...

Ahh Adeption...



Well Adepticon has come and gone. Good times with a lot of old friends from way back. And sadly the 5 day bender has to end as well. I was impressed with the con and had good times playing in both beginner tournaments for flames of war. My mad dash and 1.5 week tirade of painting paid off with Best Painted Axis Army for the Mid War Tournament. Woo Hoo! I will get a good shot of the complete army up soon. In the meantime, having seen all the wonderfully converted armies has sent the brain into overdrive and the need to pain anything other than Fallschirmjager is great.

Schnell!


Soo close. All that is left is details and weathering on the StuGs, silfor on the mortars and arty, and webbing on the arty. Oh and one more Command base from start to finish. I have it built and ready to prime. I realized this past sunday I was missing one. And finally to finish the one objective marker and work on the panzer one a little more if I have time. One more day of painting til I leave. Soo close.

Monday nights update


Well Sunday was a learning experience for me on what to and what not to do with my army. Anyhow I took a few things away from the 2 games but sadly can't change my list to one I think would be more suited to the army. So back to painting. bases are done on all teams except the arty and mortars. Just finished the 2 8-Rads and the 2 Marder II's. So Actually I should have moved them to the finished pile. 2 more days of painting left. Whats left you ask?
Weapons, and webbing on the remaining crews. And for the 4 StuGs, camo and details. I will work on weapons and webbing tonight as well to get as much done as possible to free up the tanks.

Almost there...

Here is where I stand as of 8:45am. All crews have been basecoated, washed, and dullcoted. I am almost finished basing all of the teams as well. I may or may not have time to put on silfor before I head out to Delaware today. If I have time before I leave I will and work on that or my 8-Rads.

Ok a little over 24 hours in...


Flesh is finished and the crews are all washed and based. After they dry for a few hours, webbing and weapons will be done, followed by basing. Or most likely that in reverse. So After I walk the dog and come back, I will work on some of zee tanks!
