Status Update: Summer is here

Just a quick post to say that summer has finally come to the northern parts of Europe. For all of you who live here you know roughly what this post will be about but for the rest of you:

We now have months to be outside before grim winter and darkness returns! ;-)

Hence i will spend more time away from the brushes causing the posts to be more scarce so don´t panic if the blog is left unnatended for a week or more.

I will update as soon as I have time but any hobby time will be focused on painting rather than blogging...

Enjoy the summer everyone!

Status Update: Modular moving tray

Having finished the orc mob I wanted to create a proper moving tray for the unit. It is a quite expensive option but the modular moving tray´s from GW is something that was missing back in the day.

 These being made of resin you can "cutom fit" them to your unit as well as paint them up in your scheme of course...

Check it out!

Status update: Preparing for war!

After being back in the hobby for a couple of months I fell that there is somehting missing.

The actual gaming! :-)

Thats why I have decided to put together a small 750 point Orcs & Goblins (OnG) army...

Status Update: A lot going on

Long time since the last update.... good and bad news.

Bad news: No blog updates
Good news: A lot of painting and modeling has been going on

Nothing finished so far but still set on getting that orc mob finished, also to keep my own skin and blood from turning green in the process i have thrown a couple of other things into the mix.....

Status update: Best thing since sliced bread!

This will probably not come as a surprise for a lot of you veteran painters out there. But it was really an eye opener for me. Hopefully a couple of beginners read this and don't have to wait some twenty three years before finding it out ;-)

Its paint thinner!

Status update: Start finishing!

After having painted for little over a month now, almost ten hours every week I have com to realize that patience and focus does not seem to suit me at all!

 So far i have finished three miniatures and started around forty! I firmly believe that without finishing there is no way you can get better with your painting, continue reading to figure out why and see whats currently left to finish and my strategy going forward. Also please give your view on how, if one should even think about it, to approach progressing the hobby....

Status update: Whats up? Whats next? Bases...

So far three miniatures has been completely finished, I am satisfied with the result and the reason being is larger attention to detail and work as hard as ever on being patient. Some have also been cut "from the roster" as my own skills failed me as well as impatience showing its ugly face.



In addition there has been significant improvement on the field of photography and more to come, keep reading to find out more...

Status update: Where to begin?

Well not having painted for a decade and a half poses a question to you: At what level is my skill?
After going through the models I had painted in my teens I realized that my skills were not half as good as the fifteen year old version of me thought :-)

I never watered down paint, never spent time on analyzing the difference between blending and dry brushing or having patience with the miniatures.

Hence my new take is with humility, i will start from scratch and really do whats nessecary to get good... Practice, practice, practice...
