Improvements

Hello hello. still working on golden demon stuff, so ok not much to see on the blog at the mo but after gd there will be some real nice minis on here for you guys to check out. Ive been working real hard this year so hope i will do better than last year and all the problems with the judges and stuff.
Anyway ive made a few improvements to my terminator chaplain as the judges look at minis from the back in the cabnets ive added a few more details to the back of the chaplain to hopefully catch there eyes as it was quite plane before. plus i added an eagle head thing instead of that spindaly tree that was there before. Hope you think it looks ok?
 more soon. keep painting

Set up.

Hey guys just thought that i should show you my set up and they way i work dont know why but maybe you might be interested.  I have a small home so have no space for a full time set up.  Ive had to be very organized, i keep all my stuff in boxes and i mean everything wich can be a real pain sometimes. It can take 10 minutes to get everything set up and ready to start painting.
I use a fold away picnic table to do my paintng as it can be set up in seconds and i sit on the sofa to paint so lots of back ache for me. Everything is stored away in cupboard after and out of the way of babies hands.




 All my paints have trays that they are stored in that slide into a specialy made box,  also my brushes tools glues weatering powder and stuff fit into to it aswell.  i keep all my spare miniature parts and new minis in a tool box that most of the time lives in the cupboard, also there is other stuff in there like primer /paint stripper and scenery stuff for bases and all that. Plus i got two crates of old minis and my armys from my gaming days that live in the garage over the road.

Well theres a small insight into my painting set up. I find it intersting to see how other people work so hopefully some of you will find something intresting in this.
keep up the good work.

p.s just started my 4th golden demon entry for this year. plus i feel like painting something fast again was loads of fun last time so more of that soon.

Fun fun fun.

Hey guys just wanted to show you this space marine i just finished,
I painted him in about 6 hours so very fast for me. Just wanted to have some fun with painting him, not trying to be neat just slapping the colours down pretty fast. Not that my normal painting isnt fun but i normaly try to be very neat and take my time, much more serious fun if you know what i mean!

Also my computer and photo instaler stuff is playing up so im trying to get that sorted + the TV has gone bang so must get that fixed. AAAGGGHHHH!
Anyway i hope you like the marine.
choa 4 now.
