Its been a month, I managed to get quite a lot painted, despite some time out of town, lots of work, kids etc.
Got some cool games in and have been enjoying chipping away at some more of my collections.
Read MoreI have finished the last core building for Scenario 2 of Lurkers from the Deep.
Took longer than i wanted but it came up well.
Read MoreIm getting ready for some games of 7TV by Crooked Dice on their Lurkers from the Deep Campaign. the Campaign has a series of games on various tables. So its a lot more terrain that i expected.
Read MoreA good few weeks of painting. Finished the first stage of a project for a game, and am working on more than a few others.
I ordered a bunch of shelves for my storage room so i can put my terrain up properly. This will help to clear room so i can build some test tables for terrain (easier to build when you can place the terrain as you go), and easier to display my models.
Read MoreA review of the Na’Sain Shrine from Knights of Dice, what i thought of it, how it went together, how i painted it etc.
Read MoreSo its been a while, between lockdown and work exploding, but i have still been painting… and buying stuff.
I backed the original Terrain crate and have 95% of it painted, barring a few pieces that don’t fit my stuff or are too thin to be of any use (one major issue with terrain crate).
So when the 2nd one came up i backed it straight away, especially as it covers more genres than fantasy.
In the end I got one of each crate and 2 extra boxes of things i thought i wanted more of.
Read MoreSo continuing my plan to review all of the terrain i buy this is the next set.
Its the TT Combat bus stop set. Nice and cheap and very easy to assemble.
It comes with a large clear perspex back wall for the glass, which means it can be seen through, which i think adds a lot to it.
Read MoreIts been a few weeks, work has been mental busy, especially once we had to get quickly ready for lockdown, which NZ has been on since the 25th of March, and we have 11 days to go (at least).
I have not done massive painting in the first few weeks but now have a good routine, and after finishing a large project am now keen to blitz through a bunch of smaller ones.
While it would be nice to update each week, this is not meant to be a chore, so if i don’t have time, so be it.
Read MoreI have always liked TT Combats kits, i have heaps of them, almost all their residential houses, quite a few of the commercial buildings (including ruined versions) and some of the moonstone ones. i just started with their scifi stuff and the first one i got was the Comms Tower.
Annddd, it was a pig of a kit. i have assembled worse but nothing like this from TT Combat.
Read MoreQuiet Week for me this week. So much work that i only got to paint a couple of times.
But am setting things up to get through a bunch of stuff.
Read MoreA good week all round, i finished some terrain, and got a couple of models done and some more work on a couple of competition pieces, while also have a great work week, and celebrating my daughters birthday friday.
If i can maintain a routine like this we will get through a bunch of stuff.
Read MoreMore Stuff i painted already.
This time a bunch of vehicles to use for Post apocalyptic or Zombie games. I have a heap more of these but this is what i have images for.
Read MoreThe final part of the first WIPTW for the year. who would have though the biggest hassle of being on holiday was painting so much it takes forever to document.
Read MoreSo my plan got a bit derailed since last time, i was busy with work and getting ready for baby number 2. And then Baby number 2 arrived 4 weeks early on the 28th. Keira (is her name), spent the first two weeks in NICU with her mum so i was full time dad with my other daughter Mia, so painting was low. But i actually got a bit done when the nanny had her and when she slept and i was not at the hospital.
Read MoreA quieter week this week as i was out of town for 3 days for a conference. I expect that over the coming weeks I will have less stuff to show as i have more out of town trips and we have a baby due in 5 weeks (which may also mean I don’t go out of town).
Read MoreTrying to keep track of what i painted each week, so i dont forget and its easier to take small batches of photos than lots at once. Reality is it wont be weekly, and this post is for what i finished last week, but this week is the post. essentially everytime i post i want to post what i have finished since last time.
I am only posting whats finished, so sometimes it looks like heaps as i finished off lots of small things that were 90% done. and we will definitely go through phases as i work on different games.
Read MoreI got inspired by watching the Black Magic Craft video on making Shipping containers and remembered the ones i built over 10 years ago.
I had realised you never really want just 1 container and i always wanted to play a game that was set in that awesome scene in Batman begins when he is taking down bad buys in the container yard.
So i decided to make my own. now back then my ex wife and I ran a painting studio (well she did the painting) and we also sold resin bases - business was Ironhalo Painting. the business is defunct now, but i have all the molds and originals if i ever need anything.
Read MoreTime for some more terrain.
i painted the Coffins and Arcade games/Vending Machine for my Zombie Game at Call to Arms, and i was supposed to do the Portaloos as well, but i got caught in a TT Combat shipping delay and they arrived after Call to Arms.
Read MoreI’ve been inspired by the delivery of an awesome KickStarter from Fogou miniatures - of their Battle at the Farm set.
Read MoreI back a few KickStarters and when i saw the opportunity to get some modern vehicles that were not from the dollar store or repurposed from the Cars movie range i jumped on it.
its a long post with lots of pictures so i have put it behind the jump.
