Well now that the Galleon is done it's time to work on a new project. Only problem is I don't really know what to work on next.

Should I go Warcaster, Jack, or a unit?

So help me out good folks and vote for one in the comments.

I am your humble puppet, make me work for your entertainment.

It's done! It's finally done. After all this time the Galleon is finished and I gotta say I think it is by far the best model I have ever completed.

So no more words here it is in all its "glory"

Second update in two days.... Things are getting crazy around here.

So I was able to get the oil wash on the Galleon. The first coat of brown weathering powders was added, and black oxide has been applied to the silver on the smoke stacks to knock the shine down and give it a good dirty feel. I still have a few more layers of powders to add and the model will finally be done.

Oh and he is finally on his real base.

Yay Progress!

Finally had some time to sit down with the Galleon. He looked lost and alone sitting next to my painting table. Poor little guy was just begging to be played with.

So I was able to finish painting him. and started ruining his perfectly good paint job.

First things first, I grabbed an old toothbrush (Spider Man in fact. Don't judge me). I then applied a liberal amount of water to the areas to start loosening the hair spray under the paint.  Working in sections lets you control how wet and how much paint comes up. When it looks good to you, blot it dry with a paper towel so that more water doesn't seep in and weaken the paint any further.

Now he is all assembled and drying so that I can apply a heavy dusting of weathering powders this will let me blend everything together. After that he gets a gloss coat to seal all the juices in...er I mean seal the paint job and fix the weathering. Then on to the oil washes and viola the Galleon will be done.

The chrome is still really shiny but that will get fixed with the washes.

Enough talk, here are a few pretty pictures.

Quick update time.

My new Badger Patriot 105 came in the mail today! So very happy until I went to put it to work and realized I had the wrong darn connector. So I am happy and sad all at the same time. So off to Michael's I go later to get the right stuff. Pictures of the new spray and how awesome I hope it will be soon. For now here is the unboxing.

Update time.

So my new shiny Badger Patriot 105 is on the way from Chicago Airbrush as I type this.

I am incredibly excited to get airbrushing again, and I kinda feel like a real boy now that I have a Badger airbrush.

So where to start? What do you want to see me use as a first model with this thing?

I have a few choices for you so let me know.

1. Troll Bloods Battle Box

2. Merc Jacks
 a - Nomad
 b- Buccaneer
 c - Rocinante

I can't hardly wait.

In the meantime I am just about done with chipping and weathering the Galleon so I should have final post and lots of pictures up next week.

And.... We are back for another exciting episode of.......No I haven't finished the Galleon yet. Yes I am aware its starting to sound like a joke/mythical creature.
In my defense I started a new job this week and for some reason they expect me to be there all the time.

So what have I gotten done you ask? Well I managed to finish another commission piece for a friend (payed for models get done faster).

This is the Cygnar Thunderhead. It reminds me of a DJ for some reason.

The Thunderhead was a lot of fun. I got to try a new technique with a brown oil wash. I had meant to try this out sooner on other models but this is the first one that I had finished that would look good with brown.

The base is my favorite part. Its from Secret Weapons Miniatures and its just a fun base. It almost looks like  the model is ready to jump in (well to me anyway). The base is awesome because I got to play with rust pigments and realistic water all in the same place.

So let me know what you think!
