Dwarfs

[epicsatsuma]

One of my painting lamps (I have two, but usually only use the one for actual painting and both for taking pics) has given up the ghost. It's a dodgy power lead, so it should be a quick replace.
The varnish is shining through on these though, but ho well!

I'm using Vallejo mecha satin varnish - a brush on varnish. So far I really like it, although it's a little nerve wracking as it's white in the bottle and on application

They are nice.
I use AK Ultra Matte varnish.

I rate it.

I've heard great things about the AK ultra matt!

I kinda like a slight sheen to army models though - but it's not the best for photos the tufts I've used get in the way of varnishing, so I varnish before doing the basing which is why it ends up in the photos

New additions look as lovely as earlier ones. And the speed you churn these out at such high quality of paint job is admirable as always.

Ah, cheers there. I'm in the enviable position of no kids and a four day week monies a bit tight, but I'm rich in time

Not a massive fan of this guy, but he joins the ranks.
I used the same shade (GW contrast: fireslayer flesh) on the skin, white cloth and shoes in a time saving exercise

And I might take a little break to put some orktober paint on these guys. I believe they're uncatalogued minis - certainly tricky to track down!

now, I'm sure i've seen that painboy some place.. one of the old nice and fun ones ^_^ and again, you are doing great work and great output.. I try for.. 1 mini a month at times ^_^;

 

[epicsatsuma]

One mini is still one mini which is 100% better than none!

Plus I mostly procrastinate all of the life admin, in exchange for painting models. A terrible habit

I do admit to having a couple of problems.. one being not making up my mind easily.. like a miniature can sit (in fact, I have one that has sat here for some time) just needing 1 bit painted but I can't make up my mind on the colour. the other main issues is really not feeling like painting.. and forcing myself I find really doesn't result in anything good..

Couldn't agree more. I haven't painted anything since march or april, so finishing just 1 mini a month would be nice.

Both orks can be seen on this flyer from 1989. I remember trying to identify that painboy and presumably had no luck with any catalogues.

Wonderful collection of dwarfs and all with excellent paint jobs! Well done!!

 

[epicsatsuma]

Man, that's some unlucky dwarfs to have been turned into frogs... (Although I think they're Brettonian really, but imma use them as dwarfs)
