Just back from the honeymoon (missing Italy already) and I got a ton of stuff on the 'to paint' shelf and a whole pile of other stuff coming up that just doesn't fit in any of the (too many) other plogs I got. So - time for (yet) another blog. This is the last one.......promise In here we're gonna have an ork I'm gonna be painting for KB's dakka dakka clan, all the figs for the 4th ed Space HUlk I got from EBay last month and a hobbit for the paint swap thread, plus whatever else I paint up to that doesn't fit in my other plogs. This here is gonna be one big ol bag of everything lol

Ok so here's what coming up in the 'bag' (more of a 'paint me now you fether' shelf but anyways...)

Bilbo!!! This fig is gorgeous. Really sweet sculpt. Totally captures bilbo's character imho. He is a teeny tiny little fella! Thinking of a dark velvet suit and then as besuits bilbo, a really flash fancy waistcoat

Space Hulk. Picked up an unopened copy of 4th ed Space hulk finally from eBay for $90. I used to play 1st ed and loved it (wretched figs, awesome game) so I just had to get the latest one if for nothing else than the figs. This could take me some time but I made a wee start on some of the 'stealers ship bases before I went away. Just trying out how I was going to do the metals to look like old space hulk ship metals. I have an idea on the scheme for the stealers. Nothing colourful and flash though. Not a fan of the my little pony schemes 'nids/'stealers get done in very often these days. These ones will be much more somber and creepy. Monochromatic I think

Can't wait to see what you do with the Space Hulk box. What colours are you going for with the Genestealers?

thinking a black laquery feel for the hard carapace shells. the softer under parts, arms, face et al more white then with tight brown glazes in the shadows, face will be glazes more of a fleshy colour over the white and then blood!

Kb_lock's ork warboss finally arrived in the post and got him all prepped up. Nice fig, semi- snap fit but the pieces definitely need a bit of coersion to go in. Hopefully get a start on him come the weekend along with bilbo and maybe get the dominus finished up.......yeah......
Painting shelf is now full!!! Lotta stuff to be getting on with!!

Bit of progress on the orks fella. Skin pretty much done now. Final glaze or so later on to smooth it out maybe. Happy enough with him though for my first ork

So, with the AdMech dio finally done my immediate to paint shelf is beginning to clear. Have promised myself I'm not opening any new kits or starting on anything else til the shelf is clear. So, next up is to continue with KB's war boss and to get stuck into SirDonald's bilbo fig. Really really lovely sculpt. Face is so full of character. But damn - this is one tiny fig!!!! Without further ado - time to get some base layers down. Bus of the size and the delicate details this lil guy is gonna have to be painted with much much thinner layers than usual. Can't wait to see him all done

Up early to do a bit of work on wee Bilbo here. Quick WiP. Trousers and jacket are more or less complete. May add another thin glaze later on. Quoted cuffs and lapels are annoying me so gonna leave them for the while and move onto the book and the the skin. Hope yea like him. Fun wee fig to paint

Got a bit done this weekend. Bilbo is nearly done but the ski work started to get on my .....wick so I'll leave him for the day. Happy with him overall though. Just need to think how to base now

Got more done on the warboss too. Actually had the metals all but finished and looking awesome with some weathering powders but then when I went to seal this with some spray varnish - feth's up and it seemed to pretty disappear the powders and give me a little frosting to boot Annoying as hell. Thanks to my magic brush on Matt varnish I got rid of the frosting but need to redo the rust, weathering and soot *sigh*

Loving the AOBR warboss- looks like a Goff Clan ork? Bilbo is looking pretty special too. Nice work

Cheers AoV Aye, Goff clan I reckon. First time painting an ork so kinda winging it lol. Black trousers and popped a wee worn checker on him too. Didn't want to go to overboard on him on that though. Gutted about the the dissaprearing weathering powders as he was looking sweet. nvm

Both looking good!

I think either a wooden floor or a floor rug would make a nice base for Bilbo!

Man I'm happy you agreed to do that warboss mate, it is amazing already.

Keen to see how bilbo turns out as well, can you do a side by side shot so i can get an idea of scale?

@Para - aye, still trying to think what to do. I have cobblestones too but a wooden floor with a corner of a rug on it might be the business.

Liking Para's idea of a wooden floor so got home from work and.....how to make a wooden floor. Out comes the green stuff and half an hour of me wandering around the house looking for something wooden with a nice grain to iprint on the green.....nothing, nada. Everything and anything wooden has been sanded and smoothed to silk. Sat back down at my workspace and ...the small shelving unit I use to keep my paints on......fake plastic wood grain!!! Wooden floor imprinted onto the base and had a wee bit left over to make a wee rug (thanks jeans) and a few little books. Will need a bit of fine tuning once dry but hopefully will do the job nicely

Finial push. Wee Bilbo's nearly done. Liked Para's idea of a wooden floor and a run...... So made them. Get them painted up this evening hopefully. Base Bilbo in and then some final touches.

Cheers para. The grain of the wood should stand out a bit better when painted. Think it'll suit the fig nicely though

Duuude! Bilbo is done beautifully :-) and the Ork skin is great with so much musculature on show, you've really smashed it outta the park!
