build it up and primed the inside for like 50% with only 5 drops of vallejo primer through an airbrush! its epic win!
the vallejo black primer 60ml costs about 5 euro (little less) so its way more cost effective then the spraycans that are on the market.
+ you will waste less paint because airbrushing is more controllable then the spraycans
Okay everybody im sorry but painting has been a bit slow this week. a lot of RL stuff going on but check out my review of GaleForce nine's Urban basing kit.
Ive also made a sergeant for my blood ravens. i finished him and i was like: "damn, this would make a nice Tarkus".
Check it out yourself i personally really like the "heroic pose"
ah girlfriends you can't live with them and living without them is so gay (dakkadakka mod don't translate this one wrong the official meaning of this word is happy)

Okay i took the time to reorganize my workspace. threw away all the old boxes and other crap i had laying around.
its still not much of a workspace. its current state is more of a storage space. but ill work my way towards being able to work there properly.
Loved the get rid of the girlfriend for weekend comment haha. I am in same boat as you, can only paint when the wife is at work. As when she is home she doesnt like having to sit on her own while I paint what she calls little boys plastic soldiers.

@TSD
lol i totally know how that feels... i used to post pictures on facebook but my GF and i got into an argument about her being embarrassed by her boyfriend posting pictures of the toy soldiers he just painted.
i eventually ended up deleting my facebook and creating a pseudo account with my gamertags as names.
also took her to a GW store once to have one of the store owners (one of the non-geeky looking guys to improve the general image) explain her how to paint a miniature (she was into nail arts back then) but she felt like i took her there to make fun of her...
better to keep my hobby and my girlfriend separated with razer wire
Your lucky you convinced her to go into GW, my wife drags me around every girly shop imaginable yet when I ask her to pop to GW with me she acts like I've just asked her to return the pair of heels and 5 maxi dresses she has needlessly dragged me round all day to buy :( LOL
WTF it even shows how much I get dragged around because I named an outfit with its real Maxi Dress name hahahaha!!!

LMAO
well i have to sit here all day listening about how she thinks my hobby is too expensive when i get a package with new paints or some models why she orders new shews and jackets online all week long.
The way I justify cost is pointing out that for my money I get lots of individual bits of plastic (many models) where as for her money she only get 2 pieces of plastic (pair of shoes).
The joys of love eh?

woman and GW.:
they both cost a lot, they always know how to push your buttons but at the end of the day it's your girl lying next to you not a marine,guardsmen,tyranid(which is creepy),necron(which is cold),ork(which is smelly) lying next to you but your girl
oh and GW dosn't break up with you for painting models when she thinks you should paint her door for the 34213ste time this week...... true story

also just won a Ork Stompa... i should ban myself from YT... anyway... got some test bases i made with the GF9 Urban rubble mix... pics below
also bought a Vampire Cairn Wraith to practice airbrushing on.
gave him the iron mask, that way i can use the skulls for basing (check the bases)
are you?? its just a airbrush practice piece...
im gonna use fluo green and shadow gray for the colors...
so far ive applied the primer and the first layer of green "glow"
ill try to finish him this weekend... so far im really enjoying painting with an airbrush
You're a pretty good painter! I'm really excited about the airbrush stuff. I want to give it a goo as well but still scared since I'm so new to the hobby XD.
i personally really like the "heroic pose"
