Nice model! What range is it from?

Middle Earth I think - the guys that turn up with Aragorn. I'll hopefully make it zombier and less glowy green

GW gave me a £10 voucher - no idea why, so I bought him (for £5), metal, off their website, in the 21st century!

They did that for people they brought something from them.. When they first started to modern re-issues I brought something, and a year later had a voucher. I'm waiting for the next one ^_^

For a base, I connected two 50mm² metal bases from Products for Wargamers with a smaller one and superglue. Onto that base, I glued the horse. The rest I did not glue to the base, to be able to paint the model more conveniently in subassemblies.
To connect the wagon to the horse, I superglued two length of chain to the beams.
To secure them in place, I wrapped green stuff around the ends.
When that inital layer of green stuff was set, I added some more details. As the wagon will only be connected with the wheels to the base, I added more greenstuff there, to get more surface area for the connection.

Got most of the base colours down on the rotters!
Need to pick out some details (i.e. protruding bones, guts & eyes) and get some unifying highlights, but otherwise getting there!

Me too but found some brush on primer in the paint pile - actually is that a thing where you buy too much paint you forget what you have?I gone and forgot to prime mine when we had a dry weekend.

spray enclosure ^_^ lets you spray indoors, regardless of the weather. Also you can use airbrush primer with a paint brush anyway.

After priming the models in white, I used for the first time Xpress Color; also the first time I used any of the contrast paints, quick gen, speedpaint or any of this type of paint. For the wood I applied:
in random splotches and streaks.
For the bones I used my trusted recipee (from Mike McVey, Warhammer Fantasy Battles 4e era) of
On the underside of the cart, as an experiment, I applied 72.476 Greasy Black Xpress Color, on one half diluted with 72.448 Xpress Medium (I was afraid it would be too strong), on the other side undiluted.
The undiluted part looked better, so all the wood got this treatment to darken the wood and emphasize the sculpted wood grain.
I used modelling spackle on the base, then painted it my usual black-brown.
The wood then got a final drybrush of Golden SoFlat N8 Neutral Grey. The bones were drybrushed with
After I painted the metal rim in Vallejo 77.711 Magnesium, I glued the cart to the base with superglue, strengthening the bond with sodium bicarbonate.
To be able to get at the area behind Skelliebob's legs, I painted his bones and black robe before gluing him on.
For the Black I used
The hooves I painted in
The scythe pole I painted in streaks of
- 72.454 Desert Ochre
- 72.473 Battledress Brown
- 72.472 Mahogany

For the bones I used my trusted recipee (from Mike McVey, Warhammer Fantasy Battles 4e era) of
- two parts Schmincke Yellow Ink
- two parts Schmincke Brown Ink
- one part water
