Font forget to add some of the mixing balls (like the ones yyou find in ball bearings) sell for that purpose...

I need to acquire a few of those!

Paint mixer (for those of us that paint so infrequently that the paint really settles)

That's a cool idea!

Thank you. I stole it from a picture I found on the internet.

Created a simple little tool, an undercoating stick. Models are magnetized to the surface for easy batch spray undercoating. Here it is before it gets sprayed up!

easy fix for a not necessary GW product

Grrr, Imrahil

 

[Killer Angel]

Good. And nice models you're working on.

It's not often that I get to post pictures of a finished project, but at (very) long last it is finally complete. There are a few things that I might have changed here and there (practice makes perfect I suppose), but in the end I am exceptionally pleased with it. Without further ado, I present my house terrain project:

That's awesome..

Thank you! It took a very long time to complete (I blame video games) but it turned out well. It was originally planned as a prototype for a more complex building (that I may or may not ever work on), but I really liked how it developed so I put in extra time to make it look as nice as I could. But originally I just wanted to see how the stone work and thatched roofing would turn out.

A fun little test piece I did while working out the colour scheme for my Chaos Dwarf Infernal Guard. I figured it was worth finishing off.

That was the kit around on display/playtest tables when I Walk into a GW store for the first time(s)

Lovely little trinckets have you painted up

Grrr, Imrahil

That was the kit that officially ushered me into Warhammer Fantasy. Prior to that, I only played 40k.

The King’s Wall from Battle for Skull Pass! With a brilliant paint job to boot! Oh you’re taking me back now mate! That was the set that got me into Fantasy officially too!

Still the best value set GW ever made (including better value than the current AoS sets - the minis may be better sculpts but there are half the number of them for double the price), and it seems we’ll never see the like again...

Thanks! It started off as purely a test piece for my Infernal Guard. I wanted to test out my Bronze scheme on a "throw away" model, before committing it to my expensive Forge World CD. I typically dig up an old shield to test things out on, but I wanted a model with a little more depth. I've had this piece lying around for over a decade, so it was a perfect candidate. Once it turned out well, I thought I'd finish it up rather than cast it back into my bits bin.

I'm glad you like it. Dwarf stuff!!!

It really was a great little kit. So many amazing models on both the Dwarfs and Goblins side. I think you are right, we will never see a kit valued so well again. I think they were something like $70-75 CAD back in the day. Buy two with a friend, one takes all the goblins and the other takes all the dwarfs, and you each have a nice sized army and a rule book (plus some dice and templates to boot). An unmatched value.

 

[Killer Angel]

yes, The Battle for Skull Pass was glorious.

The Problem:
When it comes to Contrast paints (which don't do particularly well on wet palettes), I often paint directly out the pot. The problem is that they can be somewhat easy to tip over. Although I've yet to knock one over (knock on wood), I've come close several times. And Contrast paint is expensive, so I'd doubly like to avoid any costly spillages.



The Solution:
Utilizing a few bits of scrap maple and walnut wood (that were otherwise too small to be useful for much else), in conjunction with a bit of handy work, we arrive at a simple solution. I present to you, the NIGHTBRINGER's patented* Paint Pot SPS (spillage prevention system) :


An elegant system, for a more civilized age.

Great thinking. This will make for faster painting? doesn't it?

My first time ever spilling a pot and that was Saturday night, Seraphim Sepia everywhere. What did my wife do? She sat and laughed
