Turelio's Hobby Hoard

I'm still building a lot of stuff, but also painting stuff as well. I seem to have hit a point where I can slow down building and paint more, which will be good to ease back into. I've been planning out my Waldgeists for Malifaux. I wanted the bayou bases to match my Lilith crew, but for models with such a wide stance and large areas covering the base, it was tricky to fit them on 'as is'. Because of this, I had to make some additions with green stuff for them to balance out a bit. I've also had to pin various parts. If I assembled the base, painting the water under the dock would be tricky. And the base would be obscured with the model on top. Because of this, the plan is to have two or three assemblies to paint: the bases, the docks, and the minis themselves. I can then pin them all together. I picked this up from Iron Wind Metals a few years ago at Gencon. I figured it would be worth doing up on a 50mm base to use for DnD terrain, and also a summoning portal in ...

So my original plan of painting hard and getting stuff done for Little Wars never panned out. In fact, I haven't painted anything for months. But I've been meaning to post these photos for a while now and keep forgetting. So here are some random pics... First, my self-bought birthday presents! I needed new brushes, and there were some models I had my eye on for a while which I thought I should get at the same time. SO I bought myself: A set of Doctor Who and Firefly models from Heresy. In fact, I bought two of each. Obsessive behaviour is a killer some times... Still, now I have Doctor Whos and Kaylees, and also a Ghostbusters demon dog thing. And now I have these Who miniatures, it's not going to be long before I end up grabbing a few of the others I have seen floating around :) New brushes! I was holding out for a while to get a set of W&N7's, but these are Kaple brushes which I was recommended. I really love these brushes. I honestly can't believe I have been...
