When I saw this beastie I knew it would paint up well with [url=http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod/blog/uncle_phil/painting_quick_and_l… colour undercoat technique[/b][/url]. Actual painting was less than a day.
He had had his abilities fail before, but this time was different. Drawing power from the “other place” was different this time. Usually he was like a child dipping his toe in an ocean. This time it was like a wave had surged and soaked him. His senses were fighting to process things they had never evolved to perceive. On the psychic plane some new presence had bubbled up. Lilac with rage and tasting of bile and sewer water. It had manifested close by. And it was aware of him. Somehow they were connected. His use of powers had brought it here. There, to the right! A stone’s throw away.
I finished painting the Dreadnought before I finished the [url=http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod/pic/uncle+phil/dwarfs/][b]Dwarfs[/b]…] but had put off photographing it.
[b]Important updates[/b] -- as you may know, we have successfully migrated the Cheddarmongers site to a new version of code because the old site was way past support and it was really wonky. Well, the downside is that I updated the site to the next version, which will probably go out of support sometime this year. In addition, the gallery code is also old, and the development team that creates and maintains that has called it quits for now. Here's the details...
I think the thing that has most bothered me about this winter is the lack of light. I prefer to paint using natural light and this time of year this means I can only paint at weekends and then only for a few hours if it is not too overcast. Despite that over the last six weekends I have been able of paint a force of dwarfs, the majority of them from the Battle of Skull Pass boxset.
All can be seen in the new album:-
Okay, after all this time, I'm actually working up the courage to update this site.
I'm actually two versions behind, so I'll update the site one level at a time.
Today I am posting up the last of my Devil's Reject figures by Gringo40 miniatures. Captain Spaulding as a clown.
I made some minor tweaks to the Devil's Reject trio. I also finished two more figures from the same company. One is another member of the Devil's Rejects, the other a figure based (loosely) on the owner of the company. I chose to paint this with an Amerindian flavour.
Recently met a gentleman who runs a company called [url=http://www.gringo40s.com/]Gringo 40 Miniatures[/url]. Under the category of "Zombie Hunters" he had some renditions of the Devil's Rejects. I undercoated these during the week and started the colour painting on Saturday morning. They were completed Saturday afternoon other than a few minor tweaks on Sunday morning.
Today, the legendary sniper Simo Häyhä.
