Pledge for the week: Work on and finish up the 1st ed. Pandora crew and get most of my Some’r Teeth crew completed. I’ll have pics of the Pandora here soon as well as the Goblin crew. I’m mostly getting done a lot of work that I had set aside when it was half-ass started when the newest shiny caught my attention.
I’ve settled on painting up the Skeeters like those that spread Chikungunya virus which are more striking than Anapheles which spread malaria. The bad part about these models is that the antennae break easily on the sprue despite being careful. Replacement with 34 ga. wire has been the solution along with some wire to mount them and void breaking their legs while moving them.
These are just basecoats and washes for the moment.
I’ll continue work on the dwarf dirigible but there is a slight snag as I’ve lost the base flight stand. I’ll be ordering 3/8″ clear acrylic rod soon but I have car stuff to put money into at the moment. I’ll work on it as I can without having to mount it to the base. By the by I did figure that using material on hand to build with instead of spending money on resin/shipping would be a better deal.
On the painting side aside from that I’ll spray the goblin tanks with some pigment and calm my urge to cover those with paint as well. The question of palette choice for all these things has been posed and honestly I’m just playing about with what I think works. I dug around and found I had a box of War Dancers/Dance Master for Wrath of Kings tucked into a long forgotten drawer. Looks like one more mass of minis to paint. I doubt I’ll be winning any gold buttons soon for awe inspiring brush wielding but I think that having a wave of work put out might get noticed.
Music to pass the time with… anti nightcore
