Rose Model Art

Well i got a few projects finished recently and getting the mojo built up for starting work on my 2013 Golden Demon entries, still not sure what i will be working on, but a squad entry and a single 40k entry may be taking shape.

As for my current workload, i am painting the new Tau bits for a break from full armies.

At the moment its a Riptide, broadside, sunshark and some pathfinders. Scheme is a desert yellow and off white affair. Hopefully using the riptide as ...

Had a busy last few days with hospital visit and prep day so got a fair bit done.

Main works were the command squad getting Bone colour done and the main details blocked out:





I also made up some cork piece bases, these will become painted to represent stone ...

Well after being invited to a 2K tournament in April, i have had to pull the proverbial out and get cracking on the 30+ terminators that need converting and painting.

I have been wanting to make a deathwing army for a good couple of years, grabbing bits n pieces as i saw them and working out how to fit them into my force.

It started mainly as i always wanted to do an interesting Belial conversion, instead of the usual Lysander with arm swap etc.

So by ...

Making progress after finding the painting mojo again after a bout of illness.

Dug out the box of GK that were mocking me, and armed with my W&N #7's i set too.

The completed Stormraven came out well, and was the first to set the colour tone for the force, i prefered a darker colour steel, so i was happy to see that it worked well with the contrasting red n white. The heraldry symbol on the side took a lot of fiddling to mask, but the effect looks good. Skulls and ...

Hi folks,

I have not been on my blog for a while as i have been having a bit of a bad time of it with my Cronh's disease and not had the impetus to paint.

However over xmas i bought myself the GW ultimate paint set, finally GW have released a paint set that tidies away easly and is easy to find paints at a glance. so i plumped for it.

Having every colour at hand is very liberating and i have been playing with diff colours i have not normally used, along ...

Well it was a great day,

Golden demon saw a lot of lovely entries, my main entry didnt make first cut, but the one i took as a wild card got a finalist pin, and eavy metal painters said i am creating some lovely stuff.

Bought far too much FW stuff, but well worth it in the end.

Main result of the day was this:

Well after a good few months i have finished my Duel entry and an looking forward to taking it to GD in 2 weeks.

Its been a great learning experience and i have pushed myself where i didnt think i would.

Well the golden demon entry is almost finished, with lots of help from some very nice folks on the forum (avelorn).

I have started working on the Grey Knight army i mentioned a few blogs back, just undercoated and sand\slate basing at the moment, but looking to be cracking on with this when i have a week off after a trip to london and Games day.

I am also expanding my projects into motorbike restoration, i recently bought a rough CBR 400 Honda that is need of lots of ...

Completed the base apart from tidying the sides that will be black.

Composition looks good, i was aiming for having the figures the draw to the eye, so the base is muted and enclosed, this is more in line with the duel rules as i read them, and as a first attempt i hope the composition draws some attention.



...

Here be updates!

I have completed the bulk of the farseer and added the components together.

The green band on the staff arm is GS to fill in where i joined the staff, it will be painted red to match the cloth\armour.

Few bits n bobs to finish on him like shading and some colour on the trinkets etc.

The next step was the lightning, this was made with medium and fine fuse wire, formed individually for the little branches, around a sphere ...
