Paint Club - Night #1

Tonight my buddy Dave (http://grey-wolf-studio.blogspot.com/) and I had our first night of starting a paint club. We met up at ThroughTheDecadesSportsCardsGaming, which is not a miniature game store at all but they do carry board and card games. Magic the Gathering is a big thing there. Dave had approached the owner about possibly hosting a paint club there and the owner liked the idea so.....

Dave working on some Sedition Wars figures. Even though there was a Magic tourny going on we could barely tell and Dave and I enjoyed a few hours chatting and painting together. I opted to work on some of my Malifaux figures and chose my Ten Thunder Archers,

This is after 2 coats of red.

Looks like 3 coats was the magic number.

Here they are with the shadows put in. The rest are some close ups.

All in all a decent progress for a few hours while trying to start a weekly paint club. The holidays coming up will put a hiccup in the routine, but hopefully we can get some more people involved.

Stay tuned for more!

Life happens

Wow, it has been almost one full year since my l last post here. Last year was a very rough year and 2013 hasn't been all that kind either. More work, more things breaking and everyone needing my attention all at once. This year was especially nasty in that two days before Gen Con my underground power line to my house broke. So instead of having fun and geeking out with like minded peoples, I spent the weekend digging a 35ft ditch. What can you do? Had to be fixed. Everything is back to normal now and the kids have started school for the year. With routines coming the norm I am really trying to get "butt-in-chair" time at the paint desk. So here is a shot of one of my WIPs:

Here is Kaeris from Malifaux.
