2 warbands for Saga age of Vikings
Update 2: and to the here and now and a plan for the future
So with the parts I had primed now painted I was ready to move on to the next part. Glue, prime and paint the rest. The first part is was gluing (and making pictures of half assembled models)
It is a good idea to keep in mind at this stage to check for moldlines and remove them. So that is what I did and hopefully i removed most of them or at least the most visual ones
After assembling all of the models it was time to prime them once again. As before these were primed with an airbrush (just a cheap one with a separate compressor. Looking back at the set I have, I would advice people when they start doing this to get an airbrush compressor with a tank added to it. I don’t have that, than again for just priming it works fine. Its one of those sets where you get everything for around 100 euros.
So as you can probably see from the picture the heart guard in the back are stuck on bottlecaps. I have used several holders to hold the miniatures when painting them, but i found this works for me. They are stuck to the bottlecaps with poster putty so i can remove them as needed.
Looking at my past record painting 4 mini’s a week to the level of detail i want is probably realistic. So my goal for coming week is to paint the 4 Heartguard and take a few pictures of each of the steps in the painting process.
Looks like a good start to the project (nothing like starting by scratch building a ship ;). Looking forward to watching the warbands grow.
Haha, it was really a cool thing to do and something to really get you in the mood. And once you have a ship you need the crew to go with it.
Well the hard part for me (priming) is now done so if i can stick to my 4 mini’s per week schedule the first warband will be done in 3-4 weeks. Mainly depending on how much time i sink into the leader.
But thank you for commenting and showing interest in my project
