It puts the models on the bases or it gets the hose again..

Edit: Minor Progress!

Dissertated!

Right, post-literature project drinks went on for a bit longer than expected. To elaborate, I handed it in at 5pm on Monday and got home yesterday at 4pm. Now is time for some serious painting! I've just based another 30 or so models ready for priming and painting. Hopefully enough will be done for a painted battle report on Saturday!

Fantasy!

More miniatures for my evil fantasy army arrived today.
They're all from 15mm.co.uk. The Devil will actually be a statue!

Trucks! Thousands of them!

Just found these while clearing out. There's quite a few of them, too. Will do pretty well for terrain with a lick of paint!

Instant mould!

I bought a tester stick of Instant Mould from eBay the other day, and it arrived this morning. I decided to give it a go by making an objective for my upcoming Fantasy army.
It was really easy to use, and worked really well - don't expect to be able to mould yourself an entire army, however, as the effort and green stuff required really wouldn't be worth it!

He'll get a better paintjob when I decide on a paint scheme!

Note that I managed to get ink from the instructions on the gel, but it came off with some more hot water. This stuff is a lot better than I thought it would be. I don't think I'll need more than this one bar of it however, as it's reusable. Score.

I really wish I had the time to paint these right now.

I've made little progress today, as I'm past the point where procrastinating is acceptable. I did however find an old mech from a board game - no idea which, as I can't find the box - and manage to base & spray it. It's too small to fit a pilot, so it's going to be a remote drone. I need to decide on a colour scheme for my force! So far the troopers have been black armoured with desert camo underneath, but I threw a bit of red in too. I think I'll have to check what the mechs I've done so far look like next to a fire team.
I also took a moment to make the spider drones from GZG, and they're wonderful little things. Updates this week likely to be rare, but once I've recovered from post-literature project drinking next week, expect plenty more!

Got some mail.

Quick update. Just received these, which were mailed to a friend. They're some Ground Zero Games spaceships (drones), heavy armour troops and spider drones. Also in the post today were some 15mm knights for my upcoming evil fantasy army. Definitely jumping in the deep end, here! More updates to follow when I get the time.
