long time since my last update. Semester and work has been taking it's toll on the hobby and not much time have been available. But, I'm now back in the saddle! And with the pay from my work, I'll be able to afford all the things I need to finish this!
As you might notice, the blog has gotten a facelift in the form of a new banner. It's a joint creation by me and my girlfriend.

After recently commenting (although not all to graciously, at all) on a few models the 'Eavy Metal team had painted for the Ultrmarines movie, I noticed that i got quite a bit of angry feedback at my comment. I do agree that I didn't present my oppinions far to graciously, and that the fact that I for one don't think all the painters in the 'Eavy Metal team are as good as they Hussarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02896576437729825455noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511829623629185317.post-5574989443174345072010-06-08T18:35:00.000+02:002010-06-08T18:35:03.118+02:00Congrainulard!Hello biscuit ^^
I've finished a new model this week, it's more or less my final test, actually, were I brought together some of the things I've learnt during this whole progress ^^
Only thing left that needs some work is really the recipe on the hat, but some tests will be made on that, so in short order I think I'll have something ready for that to :)

And welcome to a new, short guide of mine. I've recently discovered a way to paint some quite nice looking wood and thought i'd it with you.

There's been a small lack of updates here on the candle guide, and the reason is simple. The work for it has been done, the text is all written but my camera is underperforming for this.

Thought i'd upload some pictures of the first results from using my new technique of making candles. I've tried three different ways here, two with flames and one without, and the ones with flames i've made a test on one of them by hollowing it down a bit.
But, withour further delay, here's my first three test-candles:

I thought i'd share with you what I aim to have built and finished as the first part of my army. It's been a balance between effectiveness and fluff that got this going, and in the end, I think it'll fair quite well. So, without further delay, here it is:

Did some painting today on my test model, trying out the planned scheme. I finished it and have noticed a few things I would like to change. I did a few errors on him that will be properly done once we hit the real deal.
Such things are:
Not being sloppy with the hat as seen here.
Figuring something else to do with the gun stock.
