  • Managed to sit down an wrap up this model over the weekend: The only thing interesting about the final steps on this guy was that I played around with Lahmian Medium to make a few glazes and washes.  It pretty much works as advertised so I won’t pontificate on it. ...

  • The next step in my little painting experiment is trying a new technique for gold.  I encourage you to read Luaby’s post on this technique since he’s far more knowledgeable about these matters than I am.  For those of you too lazy to click the link here’s the gist of...

  • One of the casualties of last year’s hobby-hiatus was the plastic Saurus hero that I bought to experiment on with some new (to me) painting techniques.  Armed with my new Winsor & Newton Series 7′s and needing a break from painting Temple Guard, it was time to get back to...

  • Over the past week I put the final details on eight more Temple Guard, including the command group.  Eight more of these guys to go, and the whole unit will be done. I might need a break before moving on to the final eight models.  Temple Guard are time consuming...

  • I’ve always been a bit beguiled when it comes to painting weapon shafts – you know, spears, flails, etc.  It’s easy to do a simple highlight but with that large amount of blank, cylindrical space, I always felt that a wood grain texture gives the model more life.  The problem...

    one inch warriors: Where the *bleep* did one inch warriors go?

  • I like to be frugal, whether I’m shopping for groceries, pet supplies or hobby goodies.  This is why unit fillers in WFB appeals to me.  My two Saurus units presently have 20 models each, but I want to expand the units up to 24.  Inexpensive solution, take the 8 unpainted...
