Great unclean one

Yeppie ive wanted this mini for ages but at £100 never thought i would get it, very pricey for one mini glad i got it for crimbo (Cheers bro). It is massive twice the hight of the space marine dreadnouht. ive put him on a nice wooden plinth to really show him off.
it is undercoated and ready to paint. looking foward to this one. Happy new year to you. if you are one of the few people who view my blog dont have any followers yet but hope to get some in the new year.

125mm marine forge world


I liked the name of the chapter (storm Giants) and the colour. Ok off white, but it some how seams more pure and i think its the colour that suits space marines the best. painted early 2009. added to gallery.

DREADNOUGHT

GW Dreadnought finished and added to gallery.  I used a wet palete on this one, im starting to like using it alot. Chek the blend on the power fist.

Golden Demon

So Golden Demon is nearly here again, this will be the first time im entering. ive been wanting to enter for many years but never had the time or inspiration. But there was no way i was going to miss out this year. I started work on my entry way back in april, i spent 20 hours converting the mini and around 70 hours painting him, the pic above was testing the pose b4 painting. ive finished him now but i wont post pics of him until after gd.
I had to start him early in the year because me and the wife were expecting our first baby and i knew there would be no time for painting when baby came. Anyway the pic is just a preview the finished mini is definetly my best work. you will have to wait to see.....watch this space!

Work area

Here is a pic of my work area, you see i have to use a picnic table to paint on because my place is so small and i dont have room for a desk. I have to set everything up each time i want to paint which is a pain but i do the best with what ive got. working on the Ironclad here.
