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. 

Munky

I'm back, from outer space.......

Well not really, but it feels like it's taken light years to get this point. 

What is the point of this post you say, well here it is. 

The Man Cave is complete!

Such a small sentence but loaded with meaning!

Such as, I can start painting again, building again and I can push my skills to new places. 

All in the comfort of a dedicated space for my hobby. 

Awesome!

First on the "new" desk are Adams Van Saar gang all 19 of em, phew. 

Stay tuned for those in the following weeks, as well as HD photos of the completed models on my new camera setup. 

Here's some pics if the Man cave and its progress.  Till later then. 

See you soon.
