Quick update: first airbrushed power sword
Did this today, it's not perfect but came out pretty good. I had some paint peel off with the masking tape so having to fix that with a brush hurt the final product.
Overall though, for a first try I think it came out pretty darn swell
It wasn't fast though, as I spent more time cleaning the brush for color changes then actual painting. Moral of the story: don't do one of these at a time!
That's it for now!

WiP: Khan on Moondrakkan
Another commission piece.
Instead of going with a "counts as", the owner wanted a traditional White Scars look.
the white comes from Badger Minitaire Skull White over white primer. It's actually a pretty good white, and so far covering up the occasional mistake has been pretty easy.

The Mek Guns are done! The Mek Guns are done!
Well, almost. Still need to do the final varnish.
But other then that they are completely done. After the last brushstroke, I stopped for a second and realized they were actually, finally done.
Months of time, hours and hours of work in building and painting finally all done.
I have 5 Lobbas, 3 Kannon, 3 Kustom Mega-kannons and 6 Smasha Guns/Tracktor Kannons, 6 energy packs plus 10 chassis.
I'm still a little shocked it's all finally come to an end.
Anyway, pics then off to bed.

Showcase: Ork Painboy
I had some delays while making some decisions on certain parts of the model, but it's all done now. I really like how it turned out, including adding some Blood for the Blood God.
The tubes and vials were the hold up, but I finally decided on various washes and glazes for the color, and adding bubbles in them not unlike the stock paint job. It actually ads quite a bit of interest, especially with the color variations I got with the method I used.
The only part of the model I didn't like was the Grot Orderly. The mouth is just really funny and not sculpted well. One thing for sure, the swiss-army hand has really grown on me. It's not so bad when you have the model in front of you.
Anyway, pic!
I know I've really put off the Bloodthirster, but this was more important. I also have another commission piece coming up next week, which will eat into my time. I also have plans forming for my Freebootaz Toys for Tots donation this year..

On the bench: Painboy, Mek Guns works in progress
It's been a few days since I posted anything, and that's because I've been furioiusly working on Mek guns. Holy Mork it's to the point where I just want them all done and out of my life! But I still have a lot of work to do.
At least all the chassis are done except for varnish now. These are far less rusty and far less chipped then the first set.
Since I will be playing him tonight at league, I decided to get at least the base coats on the painboy. This is the progress after dinner while watching a couple episodes of Burn Notice on Netflix.
I am considering what I will be doing for toys for tots this year. It may be ordinary..or something very, very interesting. Depends on how much time I want to invest in it..it won't take any money no matter what I do.
