Weekly Waffle #12
For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve been working to finish off some of the Batman models from last week. I’ve managed to get some of the basic objective markers finished off and made some progress on the Joker gas cylinders but these still need some free hand to finish them off. Next up we have the Riddler which I am really happy with. I think the green really stands out especially with some of the darker detail. I use purple for the darker sections after finding some examples of these colours on line. They will also carry through it I use him as part of the Joker crew as I…
Weekly Waffle #11
I didn’t do a weekly waffle last week because a good friend of mine who I’ve known since we were kids passed away and I just didn’t feel that producing an update was somehow appropriate. But the whole experience has made me think that it’s important to enjoy what we have and for me that includes my hobby which has been something of an escape for me over the last couple of weeks. Just a way to escape for a while. So what have I been up to? Well first off I have been getting busy with the green stuff and making some base inserts. I’ve made a batch for…
Weekly Waffle #10
It’s been a bit of strange week for this week’s weekly waffle . For as long as I can remember our gaming club night has been on a Wednesday night. But things change and we’ve had to move it to a Tuesday, nothing drastic in that but it’s become such a routine for me that I’ve been all over the place this week with the move. I guess it really is hard to teach an old dog a new trick. But I’m sure I’ll get used to in. So what did I manage to do this week? First up I’ve done a bit more conversion, or more actually, scratch building.…
Weekly Waffle #9
Something of a mixed week for this week’s weekly waffle. I felt I was losing my mojo with all the Infinity I seem to have been painting over the last couple of weeks so I switched to something different. The result has been some more work on my Batman collection with the Heath Ledger Joker which I think is a fantastic model. Then it was on to a couple of henchmen in the form of Mr Hammer & Mr Sickle. I like both these models and after reading up on their background, they were conjoined twins, I decided to paint them both at the same time. Just to make sure…
Weekly Waffle #8
A slower week again for this week’s weekly waffle with me concentrating on my Anaconda TAG for infinity. I’ve tried to use the airbrush a little bit more for this one by painting all of the green sections with it. I then switched to the brush to do the highlights and the brown sections. All in all I’m reasonable happy with it’s going, although I do think that with more practice I could do even more with the airbrush so it’s something to work on. I’ve also been working on a few more desert bases. I actually mixed up a bit to mush green stuff when I made the bases…
Weekly Waffle #7
I’ve managed to get some more hobby time in for this week’s weekly waffle and the first thing I have done is to clear up my workspace. Next up I had some unboxing to do when my ‘Ana Bot Hunter’ model arrived. This is a model from Ammon Miniatures which I had seen some time ago and really liked. Then I saw and unboxing of it in a copy of ‘Figure Painter’ magazine and decided to try and track it down, which consisted of simply going to the Ammon Miniatures web site. Which by the way has some other really nice looking minis. So model ordered and little over a…
Weekly Waffle #6
It’s been a bit of funny week for this week’s weekly waffle . Work has had me away from home for a few days so I’ve not got as much painting time in as I would have liked. Having said then I have managed to make some progress with some more Haqqislam troops for Infinity. Sekban (Special Naval Force) to be precise. These guys are medium infantry in game terms and like the Muyibs from last week the box set here gives a range of weapon options. I’ve kept the same overall colour scheme of green and brown but this time I’ve gone for green armour and brown fatigues. They…
Weekly Waffle #5
So for this this week’s weekly waffle I’ve not done anything with the site. For the most part I’m happy with how things are working, although there are couple of things that I need to fix. As soon as I know how to. Galleries are still something I’m playing with but I think the ones that are there at the moment will do until I can finalise what I’m looking for. Also this week was the release, or pre-order of Angel Giraldez Masterclass book, and being an Infinity fan I was really looking forward to this. Unfortunately I wasn’t one of the lucky ones who managed to get hold of…
Weekly Waffle #4
Well this week on the site front I’ve been playing around with a few changes to the Galleries. I’m still not sure if I’m happy with them yet so I’ll probably carry on messing for a while yet until I settle on something I like. On the hobby front the manic pace of the first couple of updates has started to come down to a more sustainable pace. I have finished off ‘Boiler’ for the Butchers Guild from Guild Ball and as I’ve said in a couple of updates I’m really looking forward to the rest of these models turning up. I think I have a good handle on how…
Weekly Waffle #3
I’ve been doing quite a bit of work on the site again this week and think that things are now starting to settle down a bit. On the functional side the static pages are now displaying what I want them to, in more or less the right way. I have managed to find a gallery plugin that seems to work, although I’m going to leave it in the trial mode until I have a few more images uploaded so I can test it properly. Image wise I’ve been busy with the camera and will soon have some WWX and some Malifaux added to the existing Batman and Haqqislam offerings. I’ve…
