Happy new year/ happy sunday
Happy Sunday 2017
Happy Sunday!
Why do you always select Boot camp dates that I can’t make? One day…. or two or three… I’ll be able to make one of these. I’m surprised BoW hasn’t melted under the demand!
Bear in mind what we discussed last year?
2017 might be the year we’ve been preparing for as gamers. When world order breaks down, WW3 goes hot, Putin releases his Zombie virus and the alien invaders finally decide that this year is a ripe time to attack… WE’LL BE PREPARED like good little Cubs and Brownies.
Keep preparing for all scenarios, gamers – we’re humankind’s best hope!
(S#!t we’re f***ed! 😉 )
Happy Sunday
Justin go to the local toy shop and buy some silly putty it can be used again and again and can be easily molded in and around various details.
Thats a good idea!
Blue tak works as well
I use blue tac
Or white tac, the white tac has no oil inside so won’t leave a mark should you not remove the mask for a while..
I use it all the time, and you can be amazingly precise with it.
I’ve got to defend the cling wrap idea @warzan suggested though. I’m 85% sure I saw a painting video with Angel or another Corvus Belli painter using it to mask/protect an area while they painted an arm. The benefit to using the cling wrap is that it’s easy to remove without marring the surface of the model. Liquid mask and masking tapes have to be applied to a completely dried surface, or else you risk peeling back some of the paint. Cling film just rests on the surface without adhesive, so it’s less likely to damage all that hard work,… Read more »
And low-tack masking tape like blue painters tape. I even save on tape by using strips of newspaper to wrap around parts and the small pieces of tape to hold them in place.
Happy Sunday!!
I have to agree that liquid mask is a pain to work with. Get several ‘eggs’ of silly putty. It’s easy to mold into the areas you want to mask, and comes off easily without harming your paint.
Happy Sunday 😀
Looking forward to watching through this, it seems like it has been awhile even though the break was almost non-existent.
Poor Justin at the start of this right off the bat he can’t get a break come out of the gates swinging guys :O Jeeeeez!
Also I think you guys shouldn’t bleep on this show how many non adult people are watching and those who are I would think know what it is all about if you going to go there.
Welcome back and I look forward to seeing more from you thoughout the year 😀
Justin, your face when you ate the sake kitkat was definitely worth the postage. Next time, I’m sending wasabi flavour!
Warren, that Star Wars cloth is a traditional wrap that Japanese people use to carry stuff, like lunch boxes etc. A lot of them have fantastic designs so I just use them as wall hangings. A local store does a bunch of Star Wars ones that have been combined with Japanese art. I have a Millennium Falcon one hanging on my wall.
Ok, has anyone pointed out yet that @warzan displays a distressing perception of anatomy when he calls the Sisters of Silence from Burning of Prospero a Space Wolf/ Thousand Sons upgrade sprue 😀
lol
Out of practice mate 😉 (On the sprues I mean ofcourse!!!)
nope, @warzan saw the space wolves for what they are : a bunch of little girls … :-p
No secret thoughts of Ben? Although most of them would be “Dwarf” and “Not Dwarf” I guess.
Great show as always guys. Ben for sorting tokens for games, I use Fishing Tackle box inserts. Some tackle boxes have interchangable trays. Here in the states a company called Plano makes a great line of these. Well they sell the trays separately. The spaces inside have some customization with where you place the dividers making them perfect for tokens and such. They work really well for straightening out my Super Dungeon Explore stuff. Hope this helps.
Will have to check those out too – thanks @rgreenparadox 🙂
Great show guys! Glad to have you back!!!
Super excited about the 30k content! I have the Burning of Prospero set, and will be making a Space Wolves Legion force, seeing as they are my main GW love! I believe the rules for them are not available yet until the next book that Forgeworld releases! I dont know much about the 30k game wise so might be wrong.
I would love to build my force along with you guys!
I hope I will get on next Bootcamp ( *cogh Wolsung)
Morning folks
@warzan I’m also on the diet and fitness regime due to being told by the doc to loose 15kg. So my plan is to loose it and get in shape by December this year. So part of that plan is to take up a new sport, which is badminton, mainly because my wife use to play competitively and so is acting as my coach, my first session dam near killed me lol
I recently gave up drinking lattes and replaced them with green tea after discovering that there are an average 6-800 calories in an average latte…also kicked bread from my diet as well
If you want to lose weight, @warzan, try the kebab shop near me. You’ll lose half a stone in 90 minutes!
Happy Sunday (for first time in 2017) ….sigh …I missed you blokes
Justin I am proud of you you finally started cracking airbrush but as warren say start reading that book, it will save you much time effort and will quickly boost your skills, its brilliant full of great tips, and with all knowledge from that book you can really start experimenting @dignity.
I’m in! I shall play the glorious british 😛 (heck that was a hard choice as I want both armies:P)
You guys should go for the might IV legion the iron warriors vs those yellow freaks the Imperial fists!!
@warzan when building the mkiii marines in the burning of prospero box set (I assume John will be building them) make sure you follow the instructions for the powerplant backpacks because they come in two parts. And the ten backpacks you get on each sprue builds you two styles, style A and style B. If you mix the parts from A’s with B’s the details won’t match up, you won’t believe the amount of people I’ve seen who didn’t follow the instructions to only find once they have built the guys that the backpacks don’t match. I’m sure you (John)… Read more »
As I type there are two tickets each left for Axis and Allies. That’s very impressive, fellow Backstagers!
I’m not available for this one but did have a nosey at the “getting here” bit of your info pack. I’ll get over one day, you see if I don’t!
On masking and airbrushing. Removing liquid mask can be a bit of a pain, I generally only use it on parts where it can be peeled off easily. Using blu-tak to remove it helps a lot.
I typically try to avoid masking altogether as it is so time consuming. Often you can plan your paint job so that you don’t need to mask or just do very rough masking with tape, putty or film. As a bonus, being lazy on masking tends to improve one’s airbrush control 😉
Happy Sunday, I have to admit for the first ten minutes or so I thought Ben was on mute as you two got into some deep discussion and was wondering what elevator song goes through his mind when you two do that hehe. Poor Holly………I mean Ben. @dignity great start on those Trollbloods and a nice colour choice. I am interested to see what colour armour and cloths you now do to compliment it. @warzan maybe Roswell was a captured Horten Go 229 being tested that had lost its wings in the crash. It was way ahead of its time… Read more »

Roswell was in ’47 after the war was over.
Yep it was and after 1943
Those g33k boxes are a good idea and I was going to get 4 packs of them – but the shipping is killer. €15….
You can get them from Amazon @avien for cheap. Think I got mine for a few quid thanks to Amazon Prime
I will point out when I say Work in Progress a big part of that is because as you can see, it has no base. I am waiting on (now) warcradle to restock their scenic resin bases
