Hairy burp day

Congratulations on this orbit of the sun.

You're doing great, even if it doesn't feel like it.

Happy belated birthday my friend.

Happy belateed Birthday. I've been really out of the loop as well. I look forward to seeing what you've done when you come back. Or just having you come back.

In the darkness something is stirring. Deep down inside something grows.





Thank you all for the thoughts. Hope you forgive me.

There's nothing that needs forgiving, but it is great to see you again. Those are some very cool looking and detailed Space wolves you have there
I also hope you have fun putting together that new dread.

Good to have my favourite boomerang blog return. Trust the family are well

Well, hell-O! Good to see you back. Interesting post, indeed.

Good to see you stirring, whatever and whenever it happens.

Really nice seeing back dude, theslayer coming along great

Rock on, Cam! Yours is the first blog here I ever went through page 1 to page last; missed seeing you and your work. Looking forward to this latest project.

Long time, no see. I like those Space Wolves.

Nice gritty Space Puppies. I hate it when they look too "clean".

Welcome back, Cam.

Thank you all. I will apologise in advance for the lack of words around here, it is difficult, but letting a little creativity spill out and getting some communication is a start.

Here's these 3, not quite but just about.

Very snazzy. Great figs, lovely job.

"Just about" looks pretty good. The fellow in the middle (Ulrik?) looks particularly cool.

These are very well done Space Wolves. Especially the Iron Priest.

Really like the effect your getting with the basing as well. not over the top snow

That's some solid work on those Space Wolves. I'd be proud to face them on the tabletop-- and I don't even play 40K!

Great work Cam!

Thanks folks.

Next up...


20 minutes in the bits box...


Let's see if I can wolfy this can.

Liking the space wolves Cam, the snow effect is very good. I am using the GW snow "pebbles" for now, its ok but not very realistic.

Welcome back old friend. Nice work on the space pups.

Oh, and bits box? You? I'd guess more like a bits footlocker or some other very large storage unit.

Thanks folks.

@Red, well yeah, trying not to scare folks. Probably getting close to my own weight in "bits"!

So first things first, dismemberment...







So yeah.. Onward.

Well colour me excited

Hi bud, thanks.

Metallic base coat started.


Still in bits for ease of painting.

The work's looking good Cam, and that bits collection sounds amazing.

That's intimidating...

Thanks folks.

My process is probably a bit weird. So I painted it metal, sealed that in with a clear coat, now painted it factory fresh, and will be messing it up! The parts are now all assembled, it is in 4 parts still, legs, torso and each arm, but it is going to be left unglued from here on. I will now weather the bare body, and will be adding embellishments. Some wolf skulls, a skin or two, maybe a cloak and banner, thinking about a shield, etc. These will get glued on after I scrape the paint off enough to get plastic to plastic.

I know many people will fully build a kit before it ever sees paint, it may be in sub assembly's but has all parts finished glued. I prefer to do my way as, when you get the model in hand you can seethe deep recesses are not just left in shadow but actually painted. Means I paint a lot of unnecessary bit, and a lot will either never be seen or no one cares anyway.

All that waffle, so I can show you some halfway pics. Nowhere near finished though I guess it would be fine to table.








Any and all input most welcome. Hope it maybe helps someone.
