Breaking NEWS!

Good afternoon!

Yesterday, after a week of waiting, I got my two part rubber and two part resin in the post. So last night, I had all my bases glued to my flats and my cups hotglued in place. With that, the rubber was poured! Then, this morning before work I tore off the plastic cups and gently peeled away the rubber from my masters! And thus, the casting has begun!

Here is a picture of the first round of casting, still drying up. As you can see, the resin that is all white has almost finished it's curing while the murky looking bases are just starting to head up!












Here is the first round of castings all done up. They will stay in this state until I get home and put my mask on to sand down some of the 'imperfection' in the bases.











Last but not least is the round two of casting. These bad boys are curing right now as I type.













Over the next few days and hopefully this weekend, I can get some of these bases painted by themselves and a few paint on some models.

Cheers and thanks for reading!

Lil'Update

Good afternoon,

Life has been crazy busy and I have had little time to Hobby. Normally, I could sit down and put together three Sentinels but lately, I haven't been able to do that. So these bad boys took me about four days worth of lunches to build.



They are for the Hero's of Armageddon: Imperial Guard army for my good buddy Dave. Once I get some spray paint on them I will get another picture.

Coming Soon to this Blog:
-Late War Germans for Flames of War
-Cryx Battlegroup
-Critical Hit Games Painting Competition- Caliban!

Thanks for Reading,
Jordan

Man Cave, Excorcists and MORE!

Hey guys,

I have some pictures of my 'cleaner' and more 'organized' Man Cave! First up is my work desk:

Next up is the Primer Drying area and Light Booths:

So with a bit of my work area out of the way, I can show off the Exorcists I have been working on.



That's all I have for now. Hopefully next week I can get some of the Grey Knights I have been working on up as well as my Late War Ringer Army for Flames of War!

Early War Brits roll on!

I haven't quiet figure out when I will be doing my updates, I want to do them once a week but which days I am still not sure yet. But rest assured, once I start to get into the swing of this whole blogging thing, you will get to read more and more updates as time goes on. Over the past week and a half, the pile of resin tank bodies and turret pieces have gotten turned into what will most likely become the working parts of the British 2nd Armoured Division.

First up, I will show of the work table in front of the TV in my Man Cave. You can see all of the tanks, my three Dingo Scout cars and and some infantry in progress. The troops just to the left of the tanks are the British Infantry whereas everything above the tanks are my US 1st Infantry Division which are the next big project.


Next up, is a pic of the tanks that come in the British Army deal alone. So far, I have only done the green armour with a drybrush highlight and started the black camo scheme.

Last up is a close up of the tanks in progress:

The paint scheme so far is:
-Prime Black.
-Sprayed Soviet Armour Green
-Drybrushed an even mix of Reflective Green and Muddlestone
-Camo Spot are German Grey

That is as far as the tanks have made it. I hope to finish them up over the weekend and bust out the infantry platoon so the 1,500 point Early War army will be done. Also, just so you can see what might be coming on this blog in the future, you can see my "Hobby Board" or the dry erase board I keep all my hobby projects straight on.

As you can see, I am torn at the moment between making my Space Marines into Ultramarines or Salamanders, any input would be great. I also want to paint up the new Island of Blood Starter set as there are some pretty impressive new models in it, prehaps even doing an army from there.

Thanks for taking the time to read, feel free to leave and C&C you would like.

Getting it started!

Oh, here we go! So I have wanted to do this for a while and this seemed like the best time to start it. As you can kind of make out below, I have a British Early War Army for Flames of War. This Army is made up of the British Armoured Reginment army deal (GEAB05), Damilier Dingos (BR310) and a British Infantry Platoon (BR722).




In the past, I found that my best work was always done when I was given a deadline. I am hoping that by starting a blog, that I can keep giving myself deadlines to get more stuff done. So keep tune and next week you can see some Early War British Tanks with some Paint on em!
