base wip

Hello.
Did some basing on my Urien. I was asked to make a tutorial how to make a gaming option scenic base, so when I finish painting it (the base, not whole model;) ) I'll post a little step by step.
cheers!

Blood Angels Librarian with book

Hi there,

Yesterday I decided to paint one from my Librarians. I really have a desire to paint something blue and he's one of my favorite Librarian models. I don't know if I'll use him often in my army but I want to paint him anyway. :) Below you will find my proposal for this little guy. Definitely I'll change the blues to more blue - grey. So this one will be another of my experiments. I predict that he will take around two weeks of my life. ;)



Best regards,
Gimiak

Gimiak back in action

Hi,

I haven't been here for couple of days because of my trip to Międzywodzie, a small town (village) on the north of Poland. Without a brush and paints I've cleaned couple of plastic models, on which I'll work next year - Dreadnought in full option, Devastator Squad and Razorback turrents. :D Below you can see my latest painted mini, another member of famous Assault Squads! Two other guys are still in progress. Expect them after this weekend. After these two guys I've to paint something different, maybe something blue... I don't know yet, but I'll think about it and clean a mini for the next weeks painting sessions. :)




Regards,
Gimiak

Hope I'll have some more time this week...

Easy patterns

Hi,
Today I'll show you how to make easy and quick patterns on your tanks, or big monsters. This technique is very good if you want to have many the same markings on your models.

1. First, you have to find your pattern on the net or draw it on computer;
2. Print them. Remember to save forests and print as many of your drawings as you can on one page ;-)

3. Using very sharp knife cut them out;

4. Cover your model with paint of patterns desired color;

5. Cover your markings with cheapest glue stick. This shouldn't leave any trace of glue after;


6. Glue them in desired positions;

7. Paint your model;
8. Simply peel off the markings;
9. If you want, you can weather it.

Unfortunately I've destroyed Lolers airbrush (yeah, it's possible...but don't expect any tutorials about it ;-p ) so couldn't finish Leman from few first pics. That is why final pic is from other model.
Thats all, hope it helped someone

Packing miniatures

Hi.
Whenever I have to send a miniature to someone I'm nervous... Maybe it's just me but Im always thinking that the mini might break or damage during shipment. So I try to pack my minis as good as I can.
I thought that maybe there is someone like me, always nervous about shipping:)
I had to pack this mini

the first step was his wooden base. I wraped it in paper towel and put it on the bottom of some kind of styrofoam box I found in my basement:) You can ofcourse use any other box, I just thought this might by harder than carton.
Then I took a sponge bougth in some local shop, and cut half of it (as I didnt need more)
Saw that it's too long so I just had to cut some more

ok, now I placed the mini on the sponge and started to draw contours of mini on the sponge
and with modeling knife I cut the shape of my emperors champion:)
It fits well, but I decided to wrap it in soft paper towel becouse the sponge I used was a little rough, scratchy.
I placed the sponge in my box...
...and put that box into another one... I always do that, makes me feel more comfortable:D

that would be all. I know it might look silly to pack one little mini in such a huge box, but now Im calm, becouse this package is indestructible;)
cheers, loler
