Better late than never eh!

Well doesn't time fly when your having fun (revamping the bathroom) Not a huge amount to report but a few projects have ticked along in the back ground firstly I finished off the Necromunda gang but stupidly forgot to get a final picture of them so this is the last one I took.

The only thing I needed to do was finish the bases off with weathering powders.

After them I did a small piece for a chap at my work place, this was a small pewter model car I cleaned up and painted for him.

The next unit on the commission agenda is a unit of Custodes these figures are from Scibor miniatures

I have built them with pole axe's from the Grey Knight Terminator boxed set with Blood Angels Angelus Boltguns fitted on top to represent the Custodes weapons.

This chap is armed with a Psycannon so the customer can use the Unit as Grey Knights.

A Scale comparison shot with Marines and Frankenstein is photobombing lol.

This is the group ready for primer and paint, I had to fill in a few haps with GreenStuff to get the arms to match, were off on a little holiday with the mini Munky who is now 8 months old and terrorizing the household!

See you soon followers.

Another month rolls by..

Welcome back to another edition of Munkystyle, not a great deal to report but a pretty varied experience this month. 

Firstly I found some old gaming stuff buried in my dads loft, Dungeon Quest and some realm of chaos books being the highlight. 

Following that vein of old skool gaming my group has revamped our interest in Warhammer Quest, so much so I actually bought a model for myself!!! An Empire Battle wizard set, and so Archibald Zane was conceived. 

I really enjoyed using the airbrush to get a smooth transition from purple to orange, then went in with the brush for the yellow highlights. (Better pics to follow soon)

The commission grinds ever onwards and is nearing completion, I've always struggled with basing and seeing the bases from Anvil Industries are so detailed I thought I'd try my hand at weathering powders. 

This is the result of various experiments with Modelmates Liquid rust and Forge World weathering powders. 

Il leave you with a sneak peek of what's next on the desk.....

Airbrushing.

At long last my airbrush compressor has arrived and isn't it lovely!

It's been a long time coming to be honest, and I was like a little kid a Christmas opening it. 

I had a quick go last night and was very impressed with it.  

I wasn't much louder than a microwave or kettle when running and due to its "smart technology" it only runs once the trigger on the airbrush is pressed. 

I used it to base coat Adams Van Saar gang in about 10 mins, I've subsiquently started brushing in the other base colours for the bases and metal areas. 

The following model is where I'm heading with the colours but the base and face are not finished yet. 

One thing that surprised me was how much crap was stuck in the airbrush when I started running cleaner through it. 

I think some cleaning brushes are in order to get to the fiddly bits. 

Stay tuned for more as I get back in the saddle properly and start my hobby mojo back up again.
