I wish I had learned about wet palettes years ago, it has definitely made my painting much easier. One of the biggest pluses is that if you need to do a touch up the paint is already on your palette. The consistency of the paint is easier to maintain and I suspect I'm wasting much less, not having to put some more on the palette each time I need the colour

working now

Apologies for my technofuzz intermission above.

Cheers guys

I think I like the battered looking Egyptian armour the best.

Yep loved doing the Egyptian armour, nice to do modern tanks, about twice the size of the WW2 ones!

Painting been a bit scratchy over last week but have started a human Bloodbowl team, applied some paint to some samples of Phil's excellent ancient Spanish range and assembled a mix of more modern armour (progress pics to follow).
Also managed to get some games in of Shadespire early in the week, so those minis may get a push up the queue!

Cheers
Matt

Sorry, Matt....I missed the awful painting job you've done on those figures/vehicles on the first page, because of the 'testing' on this page.

You just had to put down 'technofuzz'.....Nobby will make a meal out of that one.

Cheers - Phil. (Oh, all right..I lied..You've done a superb job on those !!)

"Technofuzz"?

No. I got nothing. 

[Techno]

I'll just keep waiting, shall I ?......You OIK !! 

Cheers - Phil. (I'll do some 'Googling' later to see if I can guess what's going to get posted.)

[Matt J]

thanks Phil  

Nobby will make a meal out of that one

Nobby eating Technofuzz.......

shall we not go there

Well Feb was pants, barely a brush picked up, did assemble quite a few 10mm tanks but poor progress overall 

I blame the weather, kids, wife etc etc (and a mild Fortnite addiction  )

[Steve J]

Feb bad for me as well due to a real mix of things. Started finishing off some tanks this week which feels nice.

I find there is definitely something therapeutic about working on tanks...

[Matt J]

Back on the bandwagon, little but often appears to be the plan at the mo.

Finished samples of the Ancient Spanish range, ready to photo and send up to Leon.



after I finish this lot.



Vietnam stuff - walker bulldog, duster and M155 plus an Aussie Bridgelayer

For the middle east - IDF M60A1, Jordanian M47 patton

Korea - Pershings

Plus the M60A2 starship , which I'm cogitating over  :-

Looking great

[Steve J]

From what I can, they look pretty damned good to me

[Matt J]

Cheers guys, the ancient Spanish sculpts are great, Phil has really done his research little things like the rings on the back of the caetra and the heavy handle, good stuff!

Also been sorting out my old citadel and gw models prior to our house going on the market. Tonnes of epic and soooooooooo many options for Dragon rampant.

Those Spanish look great, I'd forgotten about this range.
