What I painted in May 2014
« on: June 03, 2014, 08:14:37 PM »
slow month (lots of holidays which I have to work  :?)
did manage to finish these :

West Wind's Nigel for Incursion :



and 1 15mm SF building by Critical Mass. Several more to go, but the greasy resin is truely demotivating.
After my standard cleaning procedure I noticed pooling of the primer, so I sanded those spots with a P1500 and gave the pieces another 24 hrs in a dish washing solution together with a good  scrubbing. Priming seemed ok, as did my first layer of color and my gloss coat to seal everything before taping of the (white) band. To my horror I peeled off entire patches of paint when removing the masking tape (Tamiya, made less adhesive by use of my sweater)
This one building took the least damage and I decided to touch up the resin spots. The other will come in a standard sandy color.
The whole set is from Laertes, and as I told him, if these were my own, I had probably smashed 'em against the wall.



Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

He is a Kickstarter exclusive. so small change he'll ever be released again. Ofcourse, West Wind have the molds, so it's always possible that Grindhouse gives them permission to cast it in the future, but not likely...

Here's my output for May. A nice mix of fantasy, science fiction and historical miniatures. The science fiction police needs some matt varnish and tufts while the skeletons also needs some tufts.
