<p>Well after about 4 days of painting (after work of course ;)) i managed to finish painting this terminator as a test model. Im happy with the results but i still think the metal models are really static and im not keen on painting metal models. But anyway the blending of it all is nice and i...

<p>Well i finished painting another tsons marine, but i wanted to do a test model with the terminators, and so far its looking pretty good but i do have some regrets not getting a plastic boxed set but i think i will do when FW release some tsons conversion bits. Anyway enjoy the wip, its not...

<p>Well as a quick update, i've now put together 12 more rubric marine and 5 tzeentch terminators with lord. But i also managed to finish painting a sorcerer for my first squad in about 10 hours, i think its not bad work for tabletop quality. The freehand was fun especially on the shoulder pad...

<p>Ok another update on this army building. I've been trying to practice my gold nmm and get it better, i have found that as im doing more i and slowly developing a good feel for where highlights are placed for a decent looking nmm. I like how these marines have come out and each one has taken...

<p>Well a new update to an old project. Here is a thousand sons marine where i tried taking the nmm to an even better quality than what i've been doing. I reduced the amount of yellow in the mix and more in the brown and white area for the gold nmm, Im really happy with how it looks. Anyway...

Well i have been trying to go for more contrast in my painting, improving my NMM, blending and trying to be more patient with my painting. I think with this techmarine i have learnt alot about my own style and learning about the techniques etc. Also trying to look more at focal points on minis...

<p>Well after a few more nights of painting this dude, i have reached a point where im happy with him alot. The grey NMM on the backpack i tried not to put too much emphasis on it so that the focal point isn't taken away from the main part of the model too much. I think its worked well. The...

<p>Ok for a big tutorial kinda. I apologise for the images initially, since photography has never been my strong suit. It does show my errors in painting but it can all be cleaned up. But you can see my blending isnt as smooth as i like.<br /><br />So i started on a brass/gold colour for the...

<p>I finished the bulk of the red on the character and im relatively happy with how he looks at the moment, im particularly pleased how the red and grey compliment each other so well. The hard task after cleaning this up a bit is doing the backpack and servo arms. I want to create a slightly...

<p>Ok some more progress, i finished off the arm and the small reader device in his hand. Im really happy with the small freehand detail i put on the display screen, the green really picks out the detail from the red armour. </p><p>&nbsp;<img height="480" width="640" border="0"...

<p>Ok so after a long holiday in Hong Kong i'm back and working on the rest of this techmarine. I finished off the torso and the trailing wires and conduits, and started one of the arms. Overall im happy with the model and trying to get back into the swing of things after 3 weeks of not doing...

With the highlights on nmm, i always visualise an imaginery light source or two from certain points on a model, in this case i looked at it using the corner of the base. Now all highlights will come from that one area, and the light in general travels in straight lines. The edges of armour in...

<p>Ok so keeping in line with my marine phase and trying out different techniques, i was asked to write a tutorial for how i painted my blue armour. I thought i'd try it with red on the techmarines armour.</p><p>&nbsp;Firstly was a watered base colour of scab red trying to leave the darker areas...

So i\'ve really been trying to improve my skills and take my time with both the blending and the detail i put into a model. This model took me about 10 days or so to paint and im actually really happy how he turned out. My freehand still has a bit of work needing and so do my photography skills...

<p>Ok so i finally managed to finish him to a standard im happy with. i think there are areas where i could go back and touch up but for now i'll show you all the finished result. Comments criticisms and any advice is welcome as always :D</p><p>&nbsp;<img height="640" width="480" border="0"...

<p>Well i finally pulled up the courage to do the freehand work. The symbol on the cloak im really happy with, it looks nice and doesn't over do it on the model, i redid a little of the lettering on the banner to make them a bit more legible. So taking a break to let the glue and green stuff dry...

<p>&nbsp;So after a busy weekend in Manchester to complete my write ups, i managed to get some painting done finally today. I spent quite alot of time working on the gold nmm and the blade of the sword. I have to still work on the freehand on his cloak and do a backpack for him, and the small...

Well i saw this ad on CMON or not as i was browsing minis and im just wondering as someone who is starting to develop himself in painting minis is it worth the $9.99, bear in mind that i only have the internet to teach me so i only learn by practice and advice. What do others think to this item...

<p>So i managed to get the bulk of the banner painted and its looking quite smooth although some of the top scrolls need touching up but i've only just started on them and im a bit too tired to carry on, hopefully it won't take me too much longer to finish the whole model. I love the small...

Hi all, alright i managed to finish 2 khornate beserkers last month and it gave me a chance to practice both a smooth red colour and my NMM on the gold trims. Im really happy with the smooth blending i have on the red and with my NMM i keep thinking something is missing, any helpful advice and...
