Hard times

That was definitively one of the worst couple of months of my life...
Between encountering some major emotional problems and trying to find a real way out of past troubles my personal life seems to be thorn to shreds...
That was main reason that no post were published and hardly anything painted...

Out of things that I actually menage to do was attending to Grey seer painting competition with my friends on which i took gold in Single Sci-Fi with Dark Eldar Wych it was really hard to make good photos due to the pose .

I hope everything will get better from now on and i can post few new things in a few weeks span.

Terminator Wolf Guard

Photo of the mini i was painting some time ago and recently found some inspiration to finish him and also to do the wolf paw freehand on the display base.

Hope You like him
You can find more pics here

Update

I'we been busy lately switching between painting minis and trying to finish studies.. i have my bachelor exam in 3 weeks so i'll hardly update my blog by this time.

Here are few sneak peaks of what I'm doing

First is a seer council on jet bikes for Eldar army

Second are bits for Kromlech a wide variety of orc heads and other bits. Be sure to check it for more interesting stuff

Building gaming base

To build gaming base You will need :
cork
pva glue
super glue
plasti card 0,05 mm and 0,2 m
modeling knife
sanding paper
clippers
some bits from plastic kits
sand

First step is to break the cork into a base fitting fragments i used 2 slices to achieve desired height. make sure you have some rough edges and not a clean cuts. You can break or cut the desired shape.

glue the cork to the base using super glue

after the glue is dry it's time to cut the plasti card that will be fited on top of the cork platform. place the base onto the plasticard and draw the shape similar to the one of the cork platform then cut the shape using modeling knife/ clippers

be sure to sand the plasticard so that it can be glued without any problems

ater gluing the plasti card onto the base its time to do some cobblestone. I personaly use finished product and just glue it onto the base

i glued the pieces to the plasti card the i roughen up the edges using clippers to break away fragments that were extending over the originally build platform

When the main part was finished i decided to do a t-iron
It is 2 stripes of plasti card glued together using super glue

Then i cut one end of the tiron to fit desired angle and glued it to the base.
I decided to fit the base with dark eldar helmet to bring extra attention to the base.

When pieces were dry i applied some pva glue onto the cork and and plastic base using old brush

and applied sand.

Finished ! That was easy eh?

Here is the photo of finished base before its painted

To be continued..

Busy days

Hell it's a fine weather !
Pity i have to work.
I case You are wandering what i was doing all that time, I'm working on eldar army and starting few Golden Demon entries for this years German GD.

Here are few minis that i'll do between assembling and painting eldars

Hope to do them in different colors than usual and work more with metallic paints

Back to work: Grey Knights Librarian WiP II

Just a quick WiP

First day of spring :)

Yeah spring in on the way and as usual i was struck by flu.
Not able to stray away from bed more then couple meters i'll enjoy this sunny day from bed.


Here is something for the soul



Keep on happy
painting ;)

Never been a great fan of metallic paints, its an experiment for me.

Dracon Update

Still not able to take a good photo with my home camera and without the proper light

but here it is

and also a black&white photo to show where and how strong are highlights on particular elements of the armor.

You can see that the main light source is from top left (model's) side so elements are painted in that way, but in order to bring extra focus to the points i like to be focal for mini are additional enlighten by surrounding elements

Dracon's sword WiP

This is the sword for the dracon i showed.
Still need few highlights & lining but thats the general idea how it would look

Dark Eldar Dracon WiP

WiP of a Dracon I'm currently working on

And base he will be mounted on

I hope to finish him during next few days

After all those minis painted on a gaming level it's good to finally paint something on higher quality

Angel Sanguine Sanguinary Guard

I finished this model after almost 8 months
Hell it is about time to get rid of this guy, really annoying model

You can see more pics here

Urien Rakath finished

Finally managed to finish this model.
I will paint it again definitely although it's a real pain to assemble and paint

You can see more pics here

Urien Rakath

Just a WiP of Urien Rakath that I'm currently working on

and also the piece of music that is with me all the time when painting this model



Hope You like both mini and the music !

Dark Eldar Duke Sliscus the Serpent

This model was real pain in the neck to finish...
Currently working on other models from this range ( Urien and Kabalite Firstborn)

You can see bigger photos here


Stay tuned for more models soon :)
