Something That Is Shiny

Right so today saw the first day back at work after the Christmas festivities, and boy was it mental and awesome all in one. However though battered bruised and slightly more conscious of how accident prone and clumsy I am, I am here blogging some more with a little help from some friends.

So I feel that I need to type this with some form of agenda to try and help me keep on track or knowing my luck I will easily derail onto the next shiny thing in my mind. So first of all I'm going to talk about what I am aiming for with this project.

Christmas Progress

So I've managed to make progress on some models and thought to share them. Also how i currently go around painting them. The method i use at the moment for the plates of the Armour is as followed.

Spray: Skull White
Wash: Reikland Fleshshade x2
Layer: Jokaero Orange

And generally come out, after a lot of effort a bit like this.




I know it's going to sound crazy but i really enjoy the painting of the layers involved the Armour, and although it does take a lot of effort and time to paint that many layers of watered down orange. It looks nice and to me looks pretty awesome.

So the joints are easy
Layer: Dawnstone
Wash: Nuln Oil

Well.... It had to start somewhere.

So this is going to mainly be for my own personal gain, if I'm going to be honest. Painting is and for the longest period has been the best way for me to relax. However in recent times I have been steering away from painting in free time and slipping into just watching video's on Youtube and not really putting time to good use.

I suppose this is where this blog come in, this is going to be a record to show that I am still painting and that although I've become busy with a lot of my time I can still relax and enjoy the use of my free time. This and the fact I've been told that i should create a blog to document the progress of my army painting and use it as a tool to make me paint.

This is where the Firehawks come in. This is the chapter I have chosen to paint and it all started with one model. The Stormtalon.
