Whoops!

Ho hum.

That was the end of that little blogette.

I've only gone and lost/deleted a load of "in progress shots" of the trophies.
Nevermind, here's a picture swiped from the Daventry Vaulters forum. 

Now repeat to make a total of 16.

I'll be more carefull next time.

Secret Trophies

Undercoated - Black of course.

Metal colour - I prefer Brass to Gold

Well - The Secret's Out...

I've had to keep this under wraps for a little while now but can now reveal what all the hush hush was about.

Our Bloodbowl Commish asked me to slap some paint on some trophies that are being handed out at the end of this current season. 
After many a set back, including the first batch being lost in the Spanish post and a heatwave meaning that the resin would not work until after midnight, eventually I received a bunch of resin Daventry Vaulters' Trophies. (Ah - and a week to paint them!)

The first thing I had to do was wash them in warm soapy water to get rid of the release agent for the moulds then rinse and dry...

I shan't go into too much detail needless to say I had to pull my finger out:

All washed and ready to undercoat.

Something A Little Different...

I've been very proud to perform a painting job for someone.  It's a little different to normal but as there's a serious deadline involved - I'm up for it!

Now, I can't say too much at the moment - time will tell why - but I was asked to do this job ages ago.  Things took forever to produce then the first lot got lost in the post.  Now, having received these things I have a week to sort them out.

As I said, I cannot show anything at the moment but hope to bring you the stages at a later point.
(All very mysterious isn't it?)

However, I have washed the mould residue off and selected three colours to use:

TGM TIP: I use a lot of Vallejo paint. To save time finding the colour I need they're all stored in the same place in the box but I also dip the top of the lid into the bottle's contents to see the colour from a distance. You can see what I mean on the purple. (Easy really)

Dark Vengeance Chaplain and Librarian

After some intense painting and working recently I forgot to post pictures of the two Dark Vengeance characters that I've finished a couple of week's ago.

Hopefully you like:

Under Pressure.

Having missed out on Wednesday's session - playing my league game - I am now a tad behind!

Have dry brushed the tor with three greys and a white ready to add the fun bits later. Where the grass is going to be I've brushed the sand with a brown and and beige.

Next I'll be working on the Gobbs.  (Normal, special and star players).

Black is the Colour

Cheap black acrylic paint, thinned down, to make a base layer over the whole dugout.  This will be mostly covered over on the cake/tor and be the "lowest" layer on the mud/grass.

For the Gobbos, I've mixed a lighter blue colour with a glaze medium.  This thins the consistency down so the paint flows and adds some transparency.  (More glaze = more transparency).

I'll continue this lighter blue throughout the rest of the Gobbos.  Thirteen in total...

The Coach will be green as will one of the trolls.

The Captain of the team - the Pogoer -  will be painted completey differently in reds.  I'll show him later.
