Quick Update

I finally have some paints of my own now, so I can now start practising painting models at home, which should be good.  I also got a great bamboo paint brush roll as a present from my boyfriend which is now being used for all my brushes.




. Well after not doing much painting this weekend; apart from base coating my Eldar Vyper Jetbike, I've decided that I'd start painting one of boyfriends pirate girls. Hopefully it will go well since I won't be able to constantly ask my bf for advice. So I'm predicting lots of trawling through tutorials so I don't mess up. Wish me luck.

Completed Shae - 54mm


The finished version of Shae which I'm pretty pleased with. I still need to practice details such as eyes and highlighting and also straight lines but practice makes perfect.

Painting is fun. Yeah!

Well I've finally gotten into painting models after being influenced by my boyfriend. After seeing him paint his Flames of War and Dystopian Wars models (among many, many others), I decided I'd give it ago with his help. My first project(s) were two 28mm Hassle Free miniatures which were a present from Salute 2012.  I painted them last week and they were my first attempts at painting.







My next project - 54mm model


For my next project, my boyfriend found an old 54mm model which he stripped. I painted this model this weekend (pictures to come soon) and I plan to finish the bases on the other models next weekend.
