Road to GenCon

I'm going to chronicle my painting journey towards GenCon this year. As some of you may know, this year I'm going to enter a project or two into the masters painting competition for the first time. This series is also a kick in the butt to make sure I keep on task.

6 weeks until GenCon.

Relic Knights: Black Diamond unboxing.

HappyPanda made a visit to the GG paint night and happened to bring along with him his Kickstarter reward for Relic Knights. With him he brought the Black Diamond retail starter set, One Shot, M8-Blitz tank, Diamond Corps, and the Iron Chef.

Have you got your order or will you be picking up this game in July?

Secret Weapon trench base

Recently I picked up a Bag o' Crap from Secret Weapon Miniatures and was blown away by the amount of resin I received. So the first thing I did was toss everything into the sink with some dish soap. Since I was already washing resin I decided to gather up all the other pieces I had and got them in the bath.

Once the bases were dried I sorted them all out and my painting bug took over. This trench base is for the Khador Conquest project that I have yet to start. No time like the present to get this lovely base all painted up and will give motivation to start on the next part of the project.

I use spray primer on my resin projects as it has a better bite than the acrylic stuff I use in my airbrush.

Here is the final product. I used pigment powders to give some of the areas a dusty effect. The mud was glossed with floor polish.

Kingdom Death: Pinups (assembled)

Finally got around to assembling these 8 ladies from Kingdom Death. First impression while working with the plastic is that it cleans very well. Mold lines weren't in too hard to reach places and were easily buffed away with fine grit sandpaper. All the pieces went together very well thanks to the sockets and plugs. Be forewarned that there are no assembly instructions so you'll have to look off the reference photos like I did. Some of these ladies have extra heads/pieces so you can model them in different ways. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on this set I highly recommend it for your collection.
