A New Beginning
Finding the fun again
So, the last time I managed to put anything on the site was before covid. A combination of a bad mountain bike accident and then the pandemic have kept me away from hobby stuff for several years now, and I had got out of the habit of putting time aside for myself.
So, a new year comes around, and I decided that I really need to make some time to take a step back from like and just relax for a bit, and that is why I enjoyed mini painting so much in the first place. So, to ease myself back in, I looked at my pile of untouched minis and picked out the Glotkin. Its big and full of gribbly bits, so should be forgiving in terms of painting.
Lets see how it goes.
I used vallejo surface primer , the German red brown one, as I think a redish tint to the shade will look good against the green.
I forgot to take any photos, but after I primed, I used grey and white to add zenithal highlights to help with the next step.
As an aside, while I love how Glotkin looks, the kit is a real pain to put together. Took a lot of filler and sanding to get the legs smooth, otherwise you end up with a massive seam right down middle of each leg.
I think it looks OK, you can’t see a seam at the front or back of the legs, so it will do.
