Done!?

Well, not entirely, but kind of.  I think with a a quick basing, I could quite comfortably field the Cogfort as is.  Having said that, there is still lots of areas that could use additional shading and highlighting, but damn, I am feeling pretty good right now.


And the full army.

    Holy Crap! I was away for a long weekend without checking in, and you went and FINISHED it! Well, not entirely, but kind of.

    I would like to present you with an award. Of some sort. I haven't figured out what, yet. Maybe a bag of Twizzlers. Or maybe I bring a supply of Sea-salt Giant Lizard Jerky for our team to share at KCon.

    Anyway, finish up some more details, like the Cogfort crew bases and such, and show me the result. And dont forget to use concealing packaging so Dave doesn't see them when you pick them up on the 14th! And travel in complete silence so you dont give anything away! And... celebrate, 'cause you fcukin' rocked this project!

      Thankfully none of the crew need bases, I just glued them on for ease of painting. I do need to do the huge base of the actual Cogfort though, but will be keeping it very simple.

Shark Week DISASTER!

I wasn't feeling it for the old sharkie boy this evening, so I went back to my terrain piece.  Now that it was all brown, I knew I need to give it a black wash, but the thought of the cost involved was putting me off.  So I found a super cheap black wash recipe from Black Magic Craft, which in turn led me to an improved version he had done.  As it turns out, I had all of the required ingredients.  Blending Medium, Flow-aid, black ink and even water!  If I had to buy this, it would not have been a cheap wash, but as the monery was already spent, it felt free. Insert exciting picture of washed boat half that looks slightly darker than the other half.  This is a slow job, and the flow-aid was put in a bit heavy I suspect, as I am getting a lot of bubbles. I will give this a drybrush afterwards, to bring back some highlights, and knock back the shine.

 Not a lot done this weekend.  I could probably call this terrain piece tabletop ready, although it is far from being done.  I need to apply some verdigris, and paint the various fish, bottles, barnacles, and shells.  The overall paint job is a bit dull.  After washing the whole thing, I drybrushed it with a 1:1 mix of Tokai Grey and Brigadine Brown from Army Painter.  I did another lighter highlight with more of the grey, but really it barely registers.   After that it was Balthasar Gold from Citadel.  I am not sure if the Sigmar sculpture on the front is supposed to be wood or metal, but now it is metal.  I then tried AP Strong Tone for the first time.  It was not what I expected, and is very thick, with a slow drying time, so you could sort of move the shadows around a bit.  I liked it, and will use it again I am sure.
