Painted some of the Gundam pilots today. They are quite small but I bet you guys would make me crawl away in shame if you put your brushes to them!

I really like these little guys. It just adds a lot to it to see them for scale.

I've been slower than normal but plugging along. I did a quick Blight Hauler and I'm working on another Lumineth guy.

Did a 2 hour speed paint of Jelsen Darrok on Stream tonight. Will be speed painting each of the characters from the box set over the next week or so!

Nice man, subbed. Jealous you have Cursed City. I wasn't able to get one. I'll watch this as I paint.
This guy is maybe half done now. Although I'm considering putting a bunch more hours in on him. Just to see where I can get it. But we'll see. I've said that before :)

Hey all. Small update on stuff I’ve been working on.
First did another speed paint of a cursed city character last night:

Also finished some personal death guard

He's coming along. I will probably do another couple of hours on him and see how I feel.
Might move to more Death Guard to cleanse my palate (palette?) from the Elves.

It will never be this clean/organized again!

I decided to rebuild and move my hobby corner upstairs in to an unused room because I hade no way to ventilate the spray booth outside. Now I got a small window next to the spray booth I can ventilate the fumes through and finally try lacquer paints. :)

Might need to purchase a mask too.

And a picture of my alclad candy red noob attempt.

Haha yeah that a chair we had on the porch. Will have to upgrade that one. :eek:
Idk how painting and pain goes for you but it will help if you can raise that painting surface some. When I paint, being hunched over is brutal on my shoulders and low back. I bought a tray that’s a few inches thick. It has storage in it but I put it on my desk when I paint to help me not hunch over so far.

I think it will work, it's about the same height as before but long painting sessions can take a toll for sure on the back.

Will have to try it out and if not I might take you up on that tip.


An update on the chair issue, my ass hurts after 10 minutes... need to go and purchase a cheap office chair...

As I know nothing about the Warhammer stuff besides that it seems just as expensive as some Gunpla Kits. Are they unpainted when you get a box like that Cursed City? I googled it just to see what it was and all previews showed painted figures.

Warhammer stuff comes unpainted but you can’t actually play it in tournaments or whatever unless they’re painted. So you rarely see unpainted WH stuff unless it’s WIP.

Cool thanks, might try hand painting in the future when i want to do something new to break the routine. This picture will probably be me though.

Well 170 bucks with the discount! It is funny what I spend on plastic. And paint. Geez. 60 models in it though and I really like most of them. I see this as a win!
That said, it's cheaper than Kingdom Death.

Its easy to spend for sure. There's two kits I want to buy and each cost like $120-140. I feel that's a bit over my comfort zone, most kits I get are $50-80.

Warhammer seems like you can easily spend a fortune in. :)
