I'm not dead

I haven't had a chance to update my blog in a while so here is a quick update. The end of last month and this month has been very busy with me moving out of uni and back home for summer so I haven't had the chance to paint as much as I'd like.

 I'm still not fully equipped to paint either. This was discovered after the arms of one of my models snapped off and I didn't have any super glue to stick it back together. So my mission this month is to:
- Buy super glue,
- Get my Day light lamp sorted,
- Buy some spray paint to base my models,
- Buy files.

I also want to buy some models too and have a go at putting them together. I can't always wait until I visit my boyfriends for him to sort them for me haha. I should have an update with photos of my current work in progresses soon.

Until then, happy painting.

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.
