I’ve got nothing finished this week, but it’s been a week of ground work.  I’ve got 3 KDM expansions built, based and primed.  I’ve airbrushed on the flesh on the mostly flesh models, and I’ve finished the White Lion fur (Recipe) on all the models that have it.  The two lions were awkward.  They were best painted separately from their bases so I could airbrush both separately and get to the hard to reach places easier, but they were both too big and awkwardly shaped to readily take being pinned to a bottle top while I worked on them.  This meant I had to focus on their bases (Recipe) this weekend so I could get them glued on to them as soon as I could.  Their bases are mostly finished now.  They’ll get a few tufts added and be rubbed all over with pigment powders seconds before I varnish them, which should give them more depth and realism.

I hope to got the two lions finished this weekend and then I can relax into the humanoids.  I have run in to a problem though.  I’ve somehow run down to less than 10ml of airbrush thinner without noticing!  I don’t understand how this has happened.  I’m usually on the ball and ordering a replacement long before I get to this stage.  I was afraid I would run out before laying down all these base tones and I’m not sure I’ve enough left to varnish everything.  I need to get an order in ASAP and hope delivery times don’t put a damper on my Christmas hobby time.

My copy of ATO claims to be in transit from Poland, through Belgium and arriving this week.

I found this on my paint rack.  It came in an Asset Drop box.  It’s a special kind of colour shift paint.  Its not a paint itself, but you add it to another metallic paint to give it a purple shift.  I’ve never used it before and I’m not sure what Asset Drop box it came in.  Has anyone used any of these Spectrum additive paints and can comment on how well they work and if this purple would be the peak/top/highlight colour or the underside/shade colour?  or will it just give everything a slight but even purple sheen?
