Turelio's Hobby Hoard

Just a quick post for this little model!  This was a mini I painted for the 6th OzPainters Challenge, with the theme of Dark. Initially I wanted to do it as a graveyard scene, but while I was hunting for bits I found a plinth I had got from Weisern on OzPainters a few years ago. I wanted this to be a quick job, so I just did some plain texture on top and painted the model. I initially wanted to paint it took look like a moonlit scene, but it quickly moved towards a blue-tinted black and white scene. This was also my first time trying out NMM in a more serious fashion, and I think I am getting slightly better at it, but also have a way to go. The scythe was a good area to practice on though, as it let me get a chance to try this on a large flat surface and blend something a bit more, which I haven't done in a while.  It's also the first Rackham mini I have ever painted, so it's a small item on my painting bucket list ticked! The mini can be voted on as well w...

So, this will be a quick post. This was done for the OzPainters Challenge #3 , where my least painted colour is apparently pink. This model is TINY! It's a 30mm base she is standing on, so that shows how short she is. I based the colour scheme slightly on Penny from Inspector Gadget. Because I'm old, and thought that was fun. Anyway, onto the pictures! For those of you who vote on minis... CMON -  Here! Putty and Paint -  Here!

I've started some challenges on the OzPainters forum, and this month the challenge is to paint red. Just after it started (yeah, I picked a topic with no specific target for myself, which was fun) I realised I had picked up a classic chaos warrior at a bring and buy (possibly last years EucBowl). Chaos Warriors are red, because the only God worth following is Khorne. Right? Part of the fun has been flipping this guy over to find he is only two years younger than me. Potentially we were both in the UK at the same time, making our seperate ways here, on,y to meet nearly thirty years later. But that meant something else as well... The top right are metal filings from a Privateer Press model I'm working on at the moment. The bottom left, you may notice is a duller grey colour. This model contains lead. That's a blast from the past. I built the base up using my usual tricks, and gave him a white undercoat to prep him for painting on Sunday. As you might be able to tell, the colo...
