In the light.

Today was a rare day in the North West of England, it was a nice day (mainly) and I was off work! And so I took the opportunity to take some photos outside of my Knight as I finished her base the other day. The base was actually a bit of a challenge as it's …

The big one

So finally finished painting this beast of a model, it taken some time but I must say that I have really enjoyed working on it. I still have the base to do and when that is done I probably take some more photos with and I'll try outside next time as although it fit in …

A bit of Leg

So I've recently been working on the legs for my Knight and I've now managed to get them finished off. I kept them the same main colour scheme as the rest of the Knight with a the exception of a bit of extra colour on the shin pads. When I was thinking on how to …

Head and shoulders above

So I've been slowly chipping away at my Knight and now got the torso finished off. I've also started try to use my light box again after a rather excellent post by Pete who really demonstrated what great quality photos you can get with them.

A Knight a day helps you…

So had a bit of a chance today to do some more work on the Knight, got the torso finished off now along with the front separate Armour sections. I chose to use a lot of different colours for the wires and metal sections in the torso area as I think this makes it look …

Chipping away

So tonight done a bit more work on the Knight. I did a major silver undercoat and black wash followed by lighter silver dry brush over most of the metal on the model. And then tonight added details of wires, different metals just to one side. Still needs some more work on it, some of …

One small head for big robot knight kind

So late last year I was kindly gifted with a rather large model know as a Knight Castellan https://elothsendeavours.wordpress.com/2021/12/04/its-a-bigun/ and I've started to chip away at painting it now. So first off I chose to do the model in parts (not something I normally do but something I think was required for a model of …

Its what you fight for that counts!

Got a game planned for this weekend, and we have decided to do the relic mission from the 40K main rule book. For those that don't know the point of this mission is to get a item the "relic" from the middle of the table and keeping it away from your opponent. So I figured …

2 Halves Become 1

So to day I've been back working on the Imperial Knight that I', doing as part of a project with the other half.  The last time I worked on this however it did not go so well, just was not flowing The tops a start at least.  However today has if anything felt the opposite, feels …

2 years done

I've been working on the 2nd wedding anniversary present the other half got me, which is rope themed, as apparently thats the name for 2nd wedding anniversary. Its been a nice model to do, after getting the initial base coats on its felt like it painted itself. So it can now sit next to paper …
