Morning of the Wedding

The bride is ready.


My daughters preparing on the morning of the big day. It had rained for 4 solid weeks but the Vicar assured us that it would be OK on the day as he had powerful connections. At midday it stopped raining and the clouds shifted to show brilliant sunshine. The next day it started to rain again. The pics are shown in reverse order.

The bridesmaid is ready.






The make up artist used a very sophisticated Iwata double action airbrush. I was quite jealous.

Paint Shop Pro - New Background To Renegade Fighter


I have added in some sky architecture and removed the flak bursts. Shaun is right. They didn't work.

Paint Shop Pro is so much fun.

More Paint Shop Pro


I am still finding out what can be done with Paint Shop Pro.

I now need to put an Imperial fighter in the distance.

What do you think?

Renegade Fighter Bomber


Ihave been playing around with Paint Shop Pro again. Apparently, now we can all be artists.

Bad Paint Job


The fragrant Ron, over at FtW has asked members to post one of their worst paint jobs. He obviously fancied a laugh.

So here is my disastrous Tarzan. The fact that I gave him purple hair (red-green colour blindness) is almost incidental to the sheer horror of the over enthusiastic drybrushing.

The worst thing is that I thought that it was not a bad piece of work.

V is for Vendetta



V is for Vendetta, call sign Beach babe. This is the Forge World upgrade on a Citadel Valkyrie



Looking down the barrel.




Nape of the Earth flying.



View from a heretic fighter's gunsight as it tries to hit the low flying target.


The stand is a resin model from Black Cat.



Up close and personal.



An attack run on Benjamen Bunny.

The sand coat is from an Army Painter Spray. The pink-red overcolour is Humbrol Terracota, diluted with Car Wash and sprayed through an air brush. Metallics are Citadel Tin Bitz overlaid with layers of Shining Gold. And the soot is by Forge World Powders, stuck on with white spirit using brushing and flicking.
