“Steeljaw” the yellow psychic space cat (gyrinx) above is todays new model. It was sitting 90% complete on my painting table for the last year or so. I finally got inspired to add some stripes and finish its pelt last week while I had some off white on the palette. That makes four of the little space scamps that I have painted to date (including Mister Darcy, my DreadBall Offensive Coach who I forgot to picture here for some reason).

I should hopefully have some more substantial figures finished over the next few days, but ill health is scuppering my schedule at the moment. Ho hum.

Deadzone Chovar

Arguably more floating alien jelly-not-fish than floating alien brain, this Deadzone model has been drafted into my nothing-if-not-inclusive Tenebrainian force nonetheless.

Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Jodorowsky

I have been promising myself time to paint this steampunk looking Van Helsing-a-like for years, but I couldnt come up with a plan for a colour scheme. Then, all of a sudden, 1970s Mexican surrealist exploration of Western esotericism sprang to the rescue! Continue reading →

“Helga” Gets Minor Makeover

Posted on 30/04/2014 by sho3box

Helga – now with orange trim

After some agonising about realism(?) and return on painting time spent I decided to give Helga a little more attention this evening. After taking on board some of the feedback that I got on the original Helga paint job, I decided to add orange trim to the four wings (fins? Aerofoils?) and to a handful of small details on the little turret and the hull roof.

I think that this improves the look of the model without making it excessively toylike, although I think that the photography might be slightly worse this time around. Many thanks to all of you who gave helpful feedback 🙂

More feedback on the finished job is definitely welcome of course, but I dont think that I will be returning to Helga with a paintbrush again one way or another.
